Monday 26th April 2010 (Terradillos de los Templorios to Bercianos de Real Camino - total walked to date 352.86km)
Tuesday 27th April 2010 (Bercianos de Real Camino - Leon)
I am sorry that I did not update my blog yesterday. When we got in to Bercianos de Real Camino, I was really sick. High fever, bouts of shiverring, stomach upset, just generally feeling rather sick. So, Joy and I decided to take the bus from Bercianos this morning and come straight to Leon so that I can rest for 2 days. We will resume walking on Thursday 29th April 2010. Have been popping lots of panadol, Vit Cs, multi-Vits, whatever else that will give me relief. I have been sleeping lots so I am sure the rest will do me good to face the challenges coming ahead (we need to scale 2 mountains - actually it is coming down that we are a little concerned. Apparently it is very steep). I need to rest again so till Thursday or tomorrow if I feel up to writing. Goodnight.
Oh dear, do take care
ReplyDeleteWill see you soon. Need me to bring more pills, vitamins etc?
The other choice is to get back to work - you do not get sick when you work. The harder you work you get stronger. It is the enjoyment. the friendship, good food and magic moments that causes sickness. But I rather not work too. Take care

The medicine, Vits etc can give you relief.
ReplyDeleteBut you must still do what I have repeatedly told you i.e. don't be shy to take the bus.
Believe me, taking the bus will not lessen the amount of charity that you shall raise.
Get well soon. And if the downslope is too steep, try sliding...
hi mr ong, mrs ong, les and li leng .. it is always so nice to receive comments. no need to take more Vits for me li leng (have good supply her already). i am feeling much better today, ready to resume tomorrow. anyway tomorrow is a light day - only 21km. mr ong - i have always admired you for your determination when you set your mind to do something, so with you as my role model, i know i will succeed, i must. les, even if i want to take the bus, very often there are no buses, no taxis. in short, the only way to get to where we want to is on your own two feet. so, what to do, die die must walk. we are walking through really remote areas, villages that have a population of less than 10, very often you don't see anyone! i have two steep decents in the coming week, i will remember your advice to slide, but i forgot to bring my bum pads!! Angie
ReplyDeleteTake care and don't push yourself too much.
ReplyDeleteYou are already a winner even if you stop now.
Try beer with salt for cooling down. Me and my beer again.
Cheers

Hi Angie,
ReplyDeleteI had given 2 bottles of pure coconut oil to Li Leng. You can also take it orally. apply on your blisters... very good on the skin. Take care.
