Oh, Annie. This is a lot to deal with when you are in pain. Home will look so good once you get there. Thinking of you and hoping you get lots of help today.Very difficult with 2nd dislocation..
Absolutely, and thanks for letting us know, Sabine.@OzAnnie wants me to inform you that unfortunately due to complications in her shoulder she took the decision to stop this Camino.
She will be in touch here when possible.
I guess I can speak for all of us that we wish her a speedy recovery and all the best with her planning.
Annie, that sounds great! What a relief to know the driver will take you right to your airport hotel - no trying to figure out who will help you with your luggage, etc. Safe travels - I'll be thinking of you.Yay. Sorted. !!!
Safe journey home, @OzAnnie . Rachel and I echo your feelings, and we wish you a speedy recovery, with the best care. We'll keep you in our thoughts.Yay. Sorted. !!! It’s 11,45pm here. I can go to bed knowing it’s arranged.
It's still in your future, as it is in ours, for sure! Who knows, we might meet in the MezquitaSad not to get any further and really disappointed not to visit Córdoba but maybe it’s still in my future.
I have not been converted to Wikiloc, either. Instead, I just download the tracks that I want and follow them on maps.me.I also had a go at Wikilocs yesterday and today. I’m a dunce.
G'Day Annie; real bummer about having to terminate the Camino. Hopefully your flights home will be comfortable. Also hope to catch up at Jan 2023 Sydney Pilgrims = a special glass of vino awaits your return. Cheers!Awaiting response from Australia. Very difficult with 2nd dislocation.. it happened during sleep so frightened and much worse. Praying for response from travel agent or travel insurer. Time difference prob.
I wasn't very clear in my post. I meant to say that I go to Wikiloc to find interesting trails, and download those Wikiloc trails to use on maps.me.I was interested to follow some of the tourist trails around eg Baena or Granada that @islandwalker has provided links for.
Yay, Annie!Annie is in Doha!
I think she will be on Qatar flight 908 out of Doha and into Sydney later tonight. Thanks for the update.
Buen CaminoLong story - flight delays - missed connections etc. Arrived Almería train station just before 9pm on wed night (26th) & was met by wonderful Nely of the association Camino Mozárabe de Almeria. I will stay with Nely for 2 nights & start off on Friday 28th.
Already she has done so much for me. Taken me to Vodafone / later to Decathlon for poles .
Now she has dropped me at La Alcazaba. We have plans to meet with another peregrina at 1.30pm. There is a blessing at Catedral tonight at 7.30pm.
Weather. Hot. 27celsius. I have prepared with warm gear but I’m sure it will get cooler at some point further along in November. The next week looks perfect tho.
Pic below is where I meditated at the beginning of Alcazaba and sent this post from.
Hasta luego
Annie
Wonderful, Annie! I'm sorry and relieved at the same time. May that appointment go well! I bet you're very glad to have that long journey back in your rear-view mirror!Made it home safely. I’m staying with my daughter for a few days until I’m clear. Doctor appointment at appnt 9,15am in the morning.(Wed 16/11/22)

Hi Annie - you are probably at the Docs so no need to rush a reply. Really felt for you after the second dislocation. A real bummer that you had to abandon your Camino. Still Spain will always be there. Best wishes!!Made it home safely. I’m staying with my daughter for a few days until I’m clear. Doctor appointment at appnt 9,15am in the morning.(Wed 16/11/22)

Greetings from Alicante, but not a camino this time. I just checked in because I hadn't heard of anymore posts from your trip.Made it home safely. I’m staying with my daughter for a few days until I’m clear. Doctor appointment at appnt 9,15am in the morning.(Wed 16/11/22)

I hope those further along on the Mozárabe manage to escape most of the cold.Greetings from Alicante, but not a camino this time. I just checked in because I hadn't heard of anymore posts from your trip.
I've only just seen that you've arrived back in OZ. The weather is changing now in Spain, so those out on the Caminos might be getting ready for a fee showers, or even snow! At least you managed to enjoy the last of the summer sun before you had to call it a day.
Buen Camino peregrina,
MarkyD
Oh Annie! I was trying to contact you around about the time you left for Spain. We wer win your Oz neighbourhood and wanted to catch up. What a good way you picked though! We have booked tickets to do this Camino just after Easter, you can tell us all about it! So glad you got back to Spain after the pandemic, I know how much you feel at home there. Stay in touch?

I’ll wait to hear from you! Speedy recovery Annie!@P Rat
I’ll pm you when I’m home.
Edit: actually I’ll WhatsApp you.
We used WhatsApp back in 2019 on the Vdlp. Remember Galisteo Parador.
Oh my, Annie! I just started reading your account tonight. I booked tickets to Madrid yesterday, and the Mozarabe has been on my list. It sounds like a challenging walk, but I'm still intrigued. I will have to read on to find out what happens next for you. I see some familiar names here. We're getting older -- and three years of hiatus during the pandemic has not helped. My husband is now 82, and I'm not all that far behind. Our last walk was the Aragones from Arles to Toulouse. Before that, it was Toulouse to Puente la Reina. We found Arles to Toulouse difficult through the isolated mountain regions. These were the latest of several other Caminos. I'm no longer walking the 30 and more km per day I sometimes did on the Frances in 2010! But the crowds along the Frances, no longer appeal (we were hospitaleros in 2016).I forget what places you recommended originally in Córdoba Laurie.
Not sure at the moment ; whether I’ll be there on days I have booked . I have another day - to cancel booking. . Do you think Hostal La Fuente is not a good choice?
Not sure you can WhatsApp me as I don’t have the Eu sim anymore. Anyway, we’re very keen to catch up and pick your brains about the Mozarabe. We intend to start this mid April. We have just left the ferry and are in Geelong.I’ll wait to hear from you! Speedy recovery Annie!
One of the many wonderful things about WhatsApp is that it doesn’t care what sim card you use. I have used WhatsApp without interruption and without confusion for at least 5 years, going back and forth between a different SIM card every year in Spain and back to my US number on return. WhatsApp doesn’t miss a beat. I don’t know how, but I just keep adding numbers and it keeps recognizing me and them!Not sure you can WhatsApp me as I don’t have the Eu sim anymore.
Oh my gosh, Laurie! I love your new Avatar photo. It looks just like you, "close up and personal".it keeps recognizing me and them!
Yes, it only cares what your user name is, so you can sign into your account - just like Gmail and other accounts you might have. Your username might have been the Spanish phone number you first set it up with, in which case I think you can still use that as your username from another phone or computer. At least, it is worth trying, if you really want access to those messages. Maybe someone else can confirm this.One of the many wonderful things about WhatsApp is that it doesn’t care what sim card you use.
@OzAnnie , do you have a very good friend who would be your camino companion?The delay was at my end. I have WhatsApp’d Patty. (P Rat) and it was received.
Typing is very limited these days. Hands ache.
Will eventually update my recovery but 3 mths since fall and no change. (Waiting on specialists etc ) nerve damage etc. Movements and tasks really slow relating to RH and arm - but getting some steps in daily.
More later.
Annie
