This is probably the last blog I will send before Santiago. I am, according to a young lassie, 11 km away. At the moment that feels too far, so I am going to have a rest and apply some painkiller cream to my knee.
I just hope it is easy to find a habitacion once I get to S de C as I will need one fast...
The weather has been cool, breezy, and I have luckily missed all the showers.
And at least I don't have to turn round and walk home again like the true pilgrims of old!
South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.
