21st of August we were able to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and Robert had chosen a nice hotel in Burgos which was located in a former seminary on the hillside below the Castillo de Burgos to give us a bit of a honeymoon feeling. After breakfast we were ready for some cultural program, but we were astonished to have to stand in line to get into the cathedral as it was turned into a museum.
The way this cathedral accumulated human creativity over its building time of five centuries in which more and more styles, altars, tombs and chapels and so on were added to it was so overwhelming, that it was out of my capacity what my mind could absorb. After lunch we both needed a siesta before I was able to continue to work on my journal, and Robert cleaned our dusty bikes. Time was running so fast that we even missed the sunset on top of the Castillo to have a look over the rooftops of the city before we had dinner.
Buenas noches Burgos
