Day 15: Arzua - O'pedrouzo (total kms walked 169kms) *Eurotrip - Camino*
6am start.
Being woken up by zip sounds and scrunching of bags. Sounds of backpacks being
packed. Right now I think that it's something I won't miss at all, but who
knows I might miss this when I'm back to living my luxury life! My simple life
back home seems so desirable right now. I'm envisioning my bed with me lying in
it. Freshly washed clothes and sheets. Watching series. I just want to do that
right now for days on end. I need to live in the moment I know. Ok let me try
harder.
Forced my boots on. Redic pain with
each step. I told the family not to wait for me, I need to warm up my feet and
I will catch up. Today it was The naked and the famous that kept me company.
Again there were tears. My feet were sore and I could feel the plantis
faciates. Sigh.
I was fighting thoughts of doubt
again which was coming from every direction. Trying to justify taking a bus to
Santiago. How it’s not important to finish the last 100kms and getting the
certificate.
Bambi appeared on the path, looked
straight at me and then ran back into the forest! I took this as a sign from
the universe to suck it up! I then had the thought that I should just change
shoes and I will feel relieve. So at the next bar I changed my hiking boots to
my Tomy's and it felt better instantly! I finished drinking my coffee and there
was this young dude sitting there at the next table. I asked if he spoke
English and he was an American so he obviously does. We started chatting and then
I asked if I could walk with him for a bit. He said yes. It was cool to chat to
someone and it made the time go past quicker.
We checked into the same albergue
and showered and then chilled a bit. Both my ankles were swollen and I needed
to elevate my feet!
Having a chat with anyone on the
Camino about your feet is pretty normal hey. You should see my blisters and
it’s like a show and tell. Comparing feet. Only on the Camino!
We had some Tinto wine and then
went to the bar to get some wifi. We had beers and Oysters. After that I was
finished and had an early night. Tomorrow we were doing the last 19kms before
we reach Santiago!
