It took us 2 days to get the rhythm of Camino which means basicly getting up at 6 am and walk on from that time. It¨s really worth it as there is hardly any things nicer than seeing the sun rising behind the mountains and observing little villages to get up.
However, our luck stopped as Kriszti became sick and we had to stay at a tiny village to help her recover. Nothing is without a reason though...:) we had a great time at this pueblo in the middle of nowhere and you will see how nice it was once I put some pics up.
Finally, today we were able to start again. We met some nice Bulgarians and we went on together and had much fun. Anyway, we were already mistaken for Bulgarians instead of Hungarians.:) Beforehand we spent a day with a nice Spanish family, the father was a policeman and did not speak a word in English, but we had a good talk in Spanish. He was taking care of Kriszti like he would be the father of her, which was really nice of him.
People are so nice around us,everybody respects pilgrims and wishes ´Buen Camino´ to you.
It is a trip I can recommend to everybody...
Hope you are OK and pls comment on the blog, you can do it in Hungarian! :)
Lots of love,
Melinda xoxo

Upon arrival and heading towards Leon
We made it to Madrid yesterday with ease. It is a city full of life and vibe, we went out for a walk and could do nothing but staying out until midnight. I guess it will be fun spending there a couple of days at the end of the trip.
Today we almost missed our train (as usual), but fortunately I remembered the other train´s departure so this was the first blessing on our trip. I hope many will come after this. :)
The first thing to learn on Camino is to do away with your shyness otherwise you won´t get much further. At the station you see no signs of where to go so we had to follow those armed the same way as we were (big backpack, walking sticks). We got no further than the second street when we realized that they DON´T know the way to the pilgrimage accomodation. Nevertheless we agreed to find our way together speaking to each other in half Spanish-half English.
So here we are in a police building where we got two places on the floor, but believe me it is heaven for me. The people are very nice and helpful and this town is lovely. Walking on the streets you got the impression that you are back to the 50ies. Love and peace rule the air.
Tomorrow we plan to walk 31 km so I guess I might not be able to write then...
