Hey amigo!
I couldn't sleep last night because I felt bad, I almost felt like I put peer pressure on you, and you modified your Camino, which feels almost like a criminal offence. You moved by bus to Salamanca, and maybe you missed some important people that you were supposed to meet in Extremadura, or some life changing experience. That feels bad.
Having said that, I decided that I will walk the part of the Camino which you missed, for you. You finished walking the Andalusian part of the Via de la Plata (in Real de la Jara), but you missed entire Extremadura which stretches almost to Salamanca. So in September I will fly to Seville and walk entire Extremadura as a gift to you and as an act of repentance. I'll go to Seville on 11 or 12 of September and find a way to get to Extremadura border (where you took a bus) and walk on foot from there to Salamanca. If anyone is starting from Seville on 11th or 12th and would like company, please send me a private message and I can also start from there, it's just 4 days more through Andalucia.
Anyways, David, I hope you feel happy in Salamanca and you have found a company which you probably missed on your first days. Buen Camino!
