Camino 2010: Arz̼a РArca do Pino

20. Juli
19.2 km
12h
1/2 beer

Heatwave!
What a nightmare..
24km to go..and I break down.
This morning I had little breakfast and a light beer and Ibuprofen.
But this was to much.
I had to sit down, next to the Camino and have a break/sleep.
Thanks to M and H, to wait for me!
You were quite entertaining!
With all your songs;)
The last 5 km were really hard for me.
Nearly not enough energy to walk.
how could this happen?
I think it was a toxic shock from all those drugs, I took the last days.

This would be so sad, to stop just in front of Santiago.
I made it to the alberge to lay down there..when the heat started.
I think I got about 40°C fever..but didn’t sweat..so hot!
Dear H, put ice on my head, to cool me down.
I slept a bit, when I heard loud spanish shouting.
Again, I couldn’t understand much..just something about
„sabados“
Saturday?
What’s with saturday?
Oh..“zapatos“ shoes!
(Up until today I couldn’t understand hombre and hombro..this doesn’t make any sense, this language)
so, this girl has lost her shoes..one pilgrim obviously has took them and went into town.
This was quite the scene. A lot of shouting and screaming.
A and O helped her. O translated it into english and german:
a picter, drawn, with the shoes:
„Those are my shoes! without them, I cannot walk to Santiago! no shoes, no camino!“
I didn’t remember when she got her shoes back, but I think it was just a mistake.
This was the last day on the Camino.
I was in bed.
Downstairs was a big party. But I was to exhausted, even to stand up.
How can I finish the last 20km?
Will I be able to walk the last part of the Camino?
