We’re back on the road again! After a rest day,  we walked 11 miles to Redondela bringing our total to 122 miles.

The walk started with two features, rain and a climb!

Diane is demonstrating the appropriate rain gear.

Regarding the climb, yesterday (our rest day) we explored the two different possible routes of of town. The first follows the waterfront for a couple miles, then shoots up at about a 20% gradient for a half mile, to the principal trail. Even without packs on, it hurt! That’s a lot of steep!

The second option does that climbing over a 3 mile stretch; very easy! We chose that one for today.

Once up in the hills, the trail was beautiful and the views, excellent!

Oh, and we started seeing the kilometer markers again. We’d be less than 100 kilometers from the finish, if we didn’t have a detour planned, starting Tuesday!

All for now!
