Finish of Stage 1 for 9 miles walked and 400′ climbed. Total this trip; 17 miles walked and 700′ climbed.
We’ve not seen a stage like this one in all our journeys; over 5 miles of oceanfront boardwalk!
The temperature was in the low 70’s with just enough overcast to keep the sun from toasting and a pleasant breeze … it could not have been nicer for this walk!
We left our wonderful place in Porto at a leisurely 10 am,
Caught the bus about 500 yds up the road, and spent the next 8 miles looking out the bus window at all our fellow peregrinos actually hiking! When we got to the Matosinhos Fish Market the end of our hike yesterday),
we started walking! 9 miles later, we’re in our night’s accommodation where we now face showers, laundry and the search for a nice dinner. A tough life us wanderers face!
Until tomorrow..
The weather does sound perfect! 🙂
Thanks! Perfect for a stroll along the beach!
What a great day for a hike! Everything seems to be going your way! Hope you both are feeling better. So how many days are you planning to walk and what’s the total distance that you’ll be going? Inquiring minds want to know! Lol love you both.
It was a fun day on the Camino. This one certainly has a different vibe. No backwoods trails (yet), no climbs (yet), no sweltering or shivering weather (yet)!
I have no idea (yet) of how many days or miles (yet). Didn’t mapped this one out and I’m just showing up! Kind of nice!
We met a group of ladies from the Seattle area who were doing this Camino (their first) at a “stroll” pace. They seemed quite content! I thought of you!
