Ok well I've just spent the last three days struggling with tendinitis in my right ankle and if it wasn't for Alfredo or GQ as I call him, I would be in doubt to finish the last two hundred km. Yes that's right I have 500+ km completed and we are heading into the final region of Galethia heading towards Santiago. We are all a bit cracked but not broken in our 7 man unit and the 5 x 40km days really Back to back have taken there toll on each and everyone of us. Alfredo (GQ) because he just looks great in every photo and is truly a charming gentleman with a laugh that starts in his feet and rolls out of his mouth with ease. He is a osteopath from Barcelona and has been managing the tendons in my ankle. Three days ago he collapsed while resting after our finish and Willhem the gentle giant from Holland and myself stayed with him until we could get a doctor. His feet were so badly blistered that he developed an infection and thank goodness it was caught in time. He rested for one day and caught up to us in a bus and has joined us again two days ago even though he was instructed to take up to a week before deciding wether he could rejoin. And then there is Miguel or the (Machine) who has two speeds stop and top gear, he is a from the country in Northern Spain and is salt of the earth, simple and honest with real wisdom in the few words he speaks and ridiculously funny. He has walked with two bleeding heal blisters the size of 50 cent pieces for the last two weeks and just keeps pushing on. I will give you more when I can but for now I'm smashed and need to sleep.
Love and light to all.
