One week ago, we were on our way to Segovia from Cercedilla, a good 35~40 Km moving up and down…
God that was a long trip.
By that I don’t mean it wasn’t awesome, is just that it was tiring, really tiring
We left at 08:20 from our residence, took the underground to Atocha (Madrid’s main train station) to get the train to Cercedilla, from where we will start our journey. the thing is: we missed that train, so we took the one 5 minutes later to Chamartin (north of Madrid) where we met with Dani, waited 50 more minutes and got in the train.
The trip there was uneventful, Potter slept his way there because he did not sleep at all that night! other than that we were there in an hour or so.
once there, we started walking at 11:20 approximately, first across the little village
then the real thing started, a steep way up on an old Roman path full of rocks that will roll their way down if you touched them. awesome.
We hardly made it, and really beat, took a break to have some lunch
Once done, we started our “way down” (actually it was full of ups and downs, but anyways) that took us a hell of a lot of hours
Until we finally made it to Segovia! we met with a friend there and had a few drinks, a walk around the city and off to the bus station to catch a train back home.
It was really gratifying when we finally got there… more pics in the facebook album!
