Firstly, I hope Greg is okay, secondly I hope you are okay. Bryan wrote a funny email to friends when I went into hospital, describing the hospital system. I guess it was his way of coping and putting our friends and family back home at ease.

However you now have an excuse to visit Spain again to complete the walk. To get so close and be denied the final 120K is a tough one. The camino will always be there. Greg’s health is more important. One of our camino friends from Germany had to give up the walk about the same distance out. She has since gone back and completed it.

You have described the camino experience perfectly in this post. The friends you made on the camino will become friends for life. After our camino, a couple from South America visited us in NZ. We had met him on the camino when he walked it with his brother. His wife found it a little hard to comprehend the bond between us. I said to her ‘Once you have been pilgrims together on the camino you take care of each other for ever’.

We postponed out train trip across the nullarbor as I wasn’t feeling well enough after the last treatment and moving house. So we will pass through Adelaide in February now and look forward to seeing you both then.

Beun camino.
