We have been beset by injuries, rains, and the results of the epic rain &#8211; mud and flood. Several times, what should have been two-day stretches have taken us three days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_9594.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_9594.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>\nSince we have time constraints &#8211; the date of our flight home leaps to mind &#8211; we simply must make up the lost days and adjust for our reduced pace.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, tomorrow we are taking the train to Le\u00f3n and thereby skipping ahead several days. Afterwards, we will take a bus another day forward.<\/p>\n<p>We are not really happy about this, but there simply isn&#8217;t any otherb way. We must walk the last hundred kilometers without transport, so if we are to do this, it must be now.<br \/>\nWe will miss the friends we have made so far, but perhaps we shall meet some of them again in Santiago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_9652.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomryng.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/img_9652.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are spending the night in Sahag\u00fan.
