Jakobsweg 2.0

Wotae: 19.07.2018

19.07.18

10 days left until Santiago de Compostela... but first, we have to get through today...

I started later today because I would like to have more time for myself. This stage is special to me, as I described yesterday... I also thought for a long time whether I should blog about it or not...

However, right at the start, my goddamn shin hurts so much that I don't want to walk a single meter anymore. The only problem is that it's supposed to rain in the afternoon, the plan was to arrive around 1:00 p.m... well, nothing we can do about it...

I'm trying to get into the rhythm very slowly, while admiring the landscape and listening to AC/DC on the music box

In the first village, I had breakfast, and on the way there, I met a kindergarten teacher from Germany... she has the same leg problems and swears by hocus-pocus medicine... I let her talk me into using acupuncture patches... I'll try them in the evening, maybe they'll help, even if you don't believe in them...

Next stop, Cruz de Ferro, this time I didn't bring a stone, why should I... I'm fine. I quickly found the wall where I left my stones in 2015, unfortunately, the top layer was gone, and so were the stones...

In hindsight, it's actually good... because now the worries and problems from back then are really gone!!! After some time, I was all alone there and could enjoy the moment for myself...

On the following kilometers, it was simply a very beautiful landscape... although partly covered by clouds... nevertheless, on this section, I could reflect very well on what has happened in the last 3 years!!!

Unbelievable and exactly the right decision!


The last kilometers to the accommodation were quite downhill, a nightmare for the shin :(

But in the end, I managed to do it and was rewarded with a beautiful sunset...

Tomorrow, we'll continue with a taxi and bus to take it easy... I will probably take a day off somewhere tomorrow.
