I should start by saying I am safe and in a hotel in beautiful downtown Pamplona. I walked 15 km today and it felt like 100. 15km is about 9 miles which I walk quite often in about 3 hours however today it took me 10 hours. My sickness has gotten far worse and I will see a doctor tomorrow
I just called Deb and I am returning home after I am well enough to fly. Whatever is wrong with me is not going to correct itself quickly. That is for sure. So I plan to fly home when I can fly then return the end of September with Deb and some friends from Canada to walk the last 60 miles together and for a vacation in Portugal. It is much too dangerous for me to continue now. I plan to complete the remainder of the camimo in the future but not near future.
When I have firm travel plans I plan to post them here.
I tried really hard to continue but clearly doing so now might cost me more than a man should pay. I have gone past many memorials on the camino to fallen pilgrims. That is a price I don't wish to pay. The last week has been simply incredible and I am cut of the fabric to complete it if I am healthy. For now my camino ends-fin de camino. For those following this from The Camino --Buen Camino.
