hi peregrinos,
I'm walking the camino France's at the moment and have come down with a very bad tummy bug. I'm pretty sure I got it from drinking in the fountains between Puenta la reina and Azofra somewhere. Of course it could have been from food somewhere too but I tend to think it's from the water. I've lived in many developing countries and travelled very extensively and so have a pretty sensitive gut after years of nasty bugs but this one has been terrible. I only ever drank from the proper drinking fountains, never from non potable. There may be a bug in the water somewhere at present. So be forewarned. I will have to skip the meseta after three days of being barely conscious it will be a few more days before I can walk again. We all get the camino we are supposed to get so I'm fine with this being mine but will certainly drink bottled water from now on.
Buen Camino!
