If you are hurt/sick you can take a day off from the Camino and then start back up when you are better. The stamps are just to confirm that you actually did the distance, not the time. I actually have four 'extra' days that I may use if I need a break in the hiking.<br /><br />It really is very flexible. There are rules but they are fairly easy to meet and are not very stress inducing.Bruce H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00180515178920053080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593970477444543007.post-16441046653017494692011-04-04T14:09:35.226-05:002011-04-04T14:09:35.226-05:00So, if you have a bad day (say, a twisted ankle) a...So, if you have a bad day (say, a twisted ankle) and can only get one stamp instead of the requisite two, are you out all together? Say you get food poisoning and are laid up for a day in bed? Do you have to go back to the beginning and start again?<br /><br />I totally understand the goal (I mean, who walks that far and doesn't get the certificate?), just curious how flexible/inflexible the whole thing is. As you know, my hiking philosophy is less about the hike as it is about being out there, so all the additional requirements for stamps and such would probably just stress me out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
