After dinner Terre and I assessed our foot situation and decided to book a train to Sarria. That´s considerably down the road, but still more than the 100 KM (62 miles) of walking required to obtain a certificate. Our train to Monte de Leon leaves in a couple of hours. We transfer there an hour later on a carriage to Sarria. We will arrive late, so we probably won´t get in the albergue/refugio there, but instead will book in a hostal or hotel. We worked out a rough 9 day walk from there to Santiago. After this message, I´ll be running some simulations to get 9 and 10 journey models.
[And yes, I am avoiding talking about how disappointed we both are, but we both agreed this is best.]
Aside from that, Astorga is very beatiful - small and compact, with lots of little alleys and side streets, squares for sitting around, and a fantastic cathedral.
