Last night after we were showered and settled in, we visited the cathedral though we did not pay to take the tour and we got our camino stamp. From this point on, we need to get two stamps a day to prove we’re hiking the Camino in order to get credit when we arrive in….
“I hiked Portugal” 13 Miles to Tui, Spain
Ok so recap of last night. Brian and Vegemite were flashed by a Dutchman, the men’s room was filthy, dinner was terrible, pilgrims drained the WiFi beyond use, a gang of folks verbally assaulted Brian for wanting to use the driers until his clothes were actually dry, and our only remaining clothes clung damply to….
11mls From Ponte de Lima to Rubiaes (Inland Route)
Friends, I noticed sometimes when I dictate, the app transcribes parts of my comments twice. I try to catch them all before I post the blog but I’m trying to limit my time on my blog so apologies if that happens occasionally. After several hours of doing nothing last night, we all gathered the strength….
12 Miles to Viana do Castelo
Friends, I noticed sometimes when I dictate, the app transcribes parts of my comments twice. I try to catch them all before I post the blog but I’m trying to limit my time in my blog so apologies if that happens occasionally. Last night after several hours of lying still, we ventured out to find….
15 Miles to Just Past Marinhas (3rd world)
Friends, it appears my site only sends post notifications occasionally so check back here daily even if you don’t get an email. The four of us awoke all around the same time and left the albergue before 7am. I was the last one up but the first one ready. My Camino morning routine came….
25kms to Povoa de Varzim
By 7 AM, we were well on our way. It was still dark out and fairly cool. I began walking in my jacket and my shorts, at first thinking I would soon be too warm, but once we reached for shore, and the cold wind hit us, I was happy for my decision. We walked….
A Fantastic Finale to Day 1
I tend to only post once a day but tonight’s dinner experience was fantastic and worth a post of its own! It wasn’t just the food that made it memorable, which was amazing but the whole experience was just crazy. We arrived at 7 and in Portuguese they told us to come back at 8…..
Our Camino Begins in Porto!
Friends, I’m going to try something different for this hike. In the past, I’ve spent a good deal of time typing my blog posts at the end of each day. This time, instead, I’m going to try dictating throughout the day so it won’t take away from my experience out here. As a result my….
Porto – The Most Beautiful City
Brian Vegemite and I met around 930 in the morning so I could attempt to call a taxi and we could head to the train station in Caldas de Rainha. Peniche had no direct routes by train or bus to Porto. I was hoping the other girls would be up by then so I could….
Final Day of Camp
It was freezing this morning!! When we awoke, Carla showed us the pictures she took of us during the photoshoot before heading to the beach for our final surf lesson. I was dropping f bombs all along our ten minute walk to the beach. There was complete cloud coverage and it was very cold and….
