Me and my wife just twelve days back from camino and are still walking twenty km, still needing to graze in any bar we pass most days and getting headaches from what we think must be cafine withdrawal symptoms. This my wife says can't go on, although i say we haven't put on any weight !
This never happened last time to us,does any one know what on earth is going on ?

God is punishing you for doing it more than once! Let others have those beds.

There are plenty of beds on the Ingles my friend in fact sometimes you could even have three each, as for the mountain gods naa they wouldn't be interested in punishing me would they;)

Hi pilgrim b and peregrina b!
I hope that your Camino was everything that you both hoped and wished for - great to hear that you're both back safe and well.
My prescription for easing yourselves back into your Yorkshire lives ...
2 doses fish, chips and mushy peas
2 doses Yorkshire flapjacks
4 doses G&T ( the second lot in case the first lot don't work!)
And finally, one bottle of a cheeky Rioja to give you both sweet Camino dreams!
Cheers!

Oh there 's another thing 'Vino Tinto' we have given the Gin a miss at the moment for a couple of glasses of the grape. Yes we had a wonderful time and I picked flowers for peregrina b on our wedding anniversary as we walked that day into Santiago, hope you can see the pic
How did your visit to Spain work out I know you would enjoy it, send me a PM if you want .
