Ponferrada Rest Day 5

I can't believe I have actually managed to take 5 days off from the Camino! From racing every day doing 50km days to complete stopping!
This is a huge step for me and something I am proud that I was able to do - the old me would have pushed through the pain and likely done more damage!

Anyways my shins are still hurting today so I bit the bullet and went to see the Dr. Unfortunately he couldn't speak English but with my very rough Spanish we managed to communicate!
He has given me new pills, told me to walk no more then 24km a day and take one more days rest - today! Exactly what I needed to hear and very reassuring!
Basically just inflammation of the tendon!

So last day today with feet up and good food and then it's back to the Camino where my journey shall continue!

I was actually 5-6 days ahead when I had to stop so there is a good chance I may see my 2 friends - Lizzy and James who I started with and havn,t seen since Rocenvalles!
