Despite various crises including hiker's gastro, bad weather, broken sleep and a disintegrating back pack, the pilgrim has stoically marched on and now is only 200 kms from her final destination in France. Currently she is crossing the Pyrenees and has about 650 kms behind her. She has my total admiration for her accomplishment. This photo shows her as a happy, smiling and tanned pilgrim who has not let her woes get the better of her.
Walking 650 km? Wow, that is an accomplishment! Is she in a kind of contest? She looks so happy! My best wishes for her! :)

Erk - gastro!
Not good for a hiker at all - much better to stay close to the little room!

Gastro by the side of the road was not fun at all, but you have no choice but to keep walking. either that, or sleep with the cows also by the side of the road.
Mama, you are a tad wrong in terms of your geography.I actually started walking from Pamplona, in spain, so missed the pyreneese, and am ending up in santiago, also in spain. Less than 100km to go now!!!!

Hikers gastro would have to the worst - how on earth would you keep walking?
