Day 13 - Tuesday May 20

Jo moved onto Burgos today and in a last ditch attempt to stay on the walk visited a physiotherapist and who is also a chiropractor. he gave her a very thorough going over, gave her some painkillers and anti-inflammatories and told her that if she rested up for a while he though she ought to be able to continue after a few days. He also told her that her rucksack was too low and this was exacerbating the problem as it was pressing on the affected area.

this has cheered Jo up and she has booked herself into a small hotel for a few days. This has been made more bearable by the fact that Eve, an Australian Pilgrim, who is suffering from tendonitis in her leg has been told to rest for a few days as well. they have decided to share a room and are resigned to a few days of rest and inactivity.
