So we are two days away from Santiago and last night Kimberley has come down with a case of the well let´s just say she can´t keep things down or in. We ate a salad especial and it seems to be a bit more special than we both would like. I haven´t had the same reaction just yet and am hoping not to. Today we walked even though I thought we should have her rest. However the only way I agreed to the walk was J gad ti ket ne take some moer weight to make it eaiser on her as she has no energy.
We did cut the day short as planned we had thought of doing this anyway. So we are in Boente instead of the destination set for day 31.
We are still schedualed to be in Santiago on the 19th. We want to be there when our ¨family¨gets to Santiago.
Ok so now on to the last 100k. It is horrible. The scenery is wonderful but the ¨tourist¨ pilgirms that have joined in are awful. They wake up and make tons of noise, rush by you in droves, they have little or no packs and are taking in zero of the Camino in our minds. They have no idea what we are going through and honestly we don´t care how happy they are to start their walks. Sorry to be blunt but it is true. We have nothing in common with the ¨new pilgirms¨. It is a sad but true reality currently.
We luckily ran into two Canadians again whom we had lost and Ninka whom we started out with in SJPdP... it was wonderful to see them again. Like seeing long lost family members. Ok so this is quick as the time is ticking quick and I need to go tend to my sick bear but we wanted you all to get a little feel of what we are seeing in the last 100k.
We will update again soon.... as for those of you behind... Heather... we miss you and were sad not to see you at the last 100k part but glad you are keeping your Camino going!...
Two days to go and we will be done... it is hard to imagine it is almost over!
wish us luck

I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles!
ReplyDeleteYou know, you can go to any Farmacia and they will help you.
Otherwise, get one cup yogurt, one cup applesauce, and about 2 tsp of cinnamon and eat it as often as possible.
The yogurt gives you GOOD critters in the tummy, the applesauce has pectin to firm up the stool, and the cinnamon warms the gut and helps it heal.
My kids used to call it "Mom's diahrrea medicine" and it works great.
Oh yeah.. mix it up :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time at the end of this pilgrimage.....but you have done so well and held it all together despite your traumas. Go with it, you are nearly there.....and forget about the tourists
