Caminho Portugues September 2015
Hello: I began my Camino from St. Jean Pied de Port on May 7th. Unfortunately, on May 9th I fell and fractured my kneecap at Orisson. I spent two weeks in a hospital in St. Palais (Polyclinique Sokorri) where I had my first knee operation. I want to stress especially for North American pilgrims that it is advisable to carry extra travel insurance in the event that an evacuation is necessary. Fortunately, I had signed with just such a group plan. The evacuation was a Camino unto itself. Nevertheless, I got back to the New York area safely.
For you who are considering staying the the Refuge at Orisson or Kayola, I have nothing but the highest praise for the concern and empathy expressed by Jean Jacques and Carole Etchandy who took time from their busy day to find out where I was and then visit me in the hospital.
I will return next May to complete my Camino Frances. Buen Camino to all, John
