Camino - Final Approach

With less than a day to go before finally arriving in Santiago, we are still being surprised by our bodies ability to come up with things to moan about. We had hoped that after nearly 500 miles they would have gotten used to the continual punishment.
Sally has resorted to using sanitary pads as cushions for her heals, and I have a collection of Compede, Elastoplasts & bandages around various toes on my right foot.
Time is having to creep back into our lives once again, as practicality dictates that we need to start planning our return journey.
Although one part of our journey is coming to an end, there is yet another one to begin.
We had both thought that walking so far would mean that we might lose a pound or two, and that I would certainly reduced the size of my 'muffin tops'.
At home we might have some wine at a weekend, and at a social occasion. Here we have had a bottle of red wine with every meal, and a cool beer is nectar of the gods in this heat - I don't normally drink any beer at all.
Hence we don't think we have lost any weight, and I suspect we have both become alcoholics!
Personally I feel a bit like I have been on a busman's holiday, as I think I have used Bowen Therapy nearly everyday - sometimes it has helped a little, sometimes a lot. Needless to say it has been a huge learning experience for me, watching the body 'in situ' break down and repair both in others and myself.
Once again all these experiences will be applied in clinic.
Writing this we have less than 23 km (14 miles) to go, yet it is not getting any easier, and it seems a long way to go. Tomorrow we will arrive in Santiago, this in itself raises a lot of personal reflection for us both.
