Day 53 - Puente la Reina Spain - Rest Day !

With a couple of days in hand and with my tablets battery charger left behind in Burquette (vital to navigation), we called it a rest day in sunny Spain to wait for a courier company to drop it off.

A walk into the town at the cross roads of two routes of the Camino, took us through narrow medieval streets with cafes and shops hidden behind doors that looked hundreds of years old.

The bridge in Puente la Reina in particular provides a great back drop to pilgrims departing town on the Camino. The uniquely designed 6 span bridge was built in the 12th century and has seen many a pilgrim and army depart from it !
.
A quiet afternoon was spent reading and marvelling at the many pilgrims of all shapes, sizes and nationalities who walked past our hotel off the Camino - all amazing efforts !

Finally receipt of the tablet charger brought a sigh of relief as it is needed to help move us off the Camino to Santander in the next few days.

P.s.

A special treat to show you what I wake up to every morning - all I can say is that he must have been a beautiful baby !
