P2D4 through the hell to Tomar 25/223
4 sierpnia 2018, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 38 °C
I couldn't sleep because of the heat, barking dogs, muscle pain and blisters. Took some painkillers but it didn't seem to help much. Eventually I felt asleep and slept well, waking up at 645 - same like yesterday.
The way leads on paved roads = bad for my blisters but at least not much traffic.
First beer after 17 km in Pedregoso. Tuna-tomato-onion salad 2km later. I thought I can manage the next 7km to the next bar and then wait there until the heat cease. The path was nice through eucalyptus trees, but the heat become unbearable.I couldn't walk anymore, so I lied down on the ground to get some rest, but it wasn't much better - it was hot even in the shadows of the trees and the light breeze was hot as well. I tried to walk again, but after 500m I had to stop again, so I decided to wait until everything, then walk to the next village and take a taxi to Tomar.
But after maybe 1 hour I've realised that if I stay here any longer I will spend all my water, so I forced myself to get up and walk very slowly. After 1 km there was a farm in the forest. Two man were just starting a car, going to the next village. I asked then for water and the for the ride. They took me, and as they saw my exhaustion, they drove me all the way to my hotel in Tomar. Thank you !!
So I've skipped about 12 km of unpleasant walk along a main street. I've got a nice room in Residencial Uniāo (35e). After some recovery I went out to have dinner (soup, salad, beer). I slept like a log. Czytaj więcej

P2D3 to Azinhaga 40/198 km
3 sierpnia 2018, Portugalia ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C
I slept well (despite the barking dogs). After small breakfast I've got my stamp, paid for the night (20+5e) and set off for Santarém - again 15km through tomato fields as well as some vineyards. In Santarém in a tourist office I've booked a room (or bed) in the next possible accommodation Casa da Azzancha in Azinhaga. So another 26km in the heat. I hope there will be some bars on the way, otherwise I don't know how can I survive it.
With the last rests of my strength I reach a cafe in Vale de Figueira (26km) and have some beer, coke and water. Still 14 km to go, maybe less, if I find some shortcuts.
The heat was like in hell. The shortcut weren't there, I've tried one and ended in a corn field, there were no place to make a break, the only freshening was once from the land improvement pipes.
After some beer, water and coke in Pombalinho I managed the last 2.5 km and arrived eventually in Casa da Azzancha (45e - single room). Czytaj więcej

2 sierpnia 2018, Portugalia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
700 Not very pleasant walk along the train line on either paved or dirty roads. Nothing to buy on the way (at least there were some blackberries) until Azambuja (17km), where I bought some drinks and fruit at Aldi and had one beer in the town centre.
Next 11km through endless tomato field - some of them were already ripe ... and good. The way was not so bad, but it was very very hot - 42°. Eventually I came to a small village (Regengo) and get 2 beer in Cafe Campino. My T-shirt was completely wet from sweat.
Another 2 beer 3km later (only 1e each). The last 5km was nice along the river with lot of blackberries around. Nevertheless I was very happy when I eventually arrived at Quinta Burra, where I made reservation in the morning. The hospitalera welcomes me with two beer (later I got also a melon and an orange juice). I was the only guest today.
She came from Madeira, bought a farm ruin here and had rebuild it. After same time pilgrims started to ring at the door looking for help (there are not many accommodation on this Camino), so she came to the idea to open an alberque.

I was exhausted! Czytaj więcej

P2D1 to Vila Franca de Xira 41/122km
1 sierpnia 2018, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
Yesterday I was afraid where I shall stay tonight, on booking.com I have find only an expensive hotel room for 70e and the only one alberque was 2 km after Granja, too early to stay here. So I called one of the hostels in Vila Franca de Xira from my guide book 'Camino Portuguese'. First, it was quite confusing - the woman didn't speak english, even if claiming so. But after 10 min I've got a return call from a man with perfect english and he had confirmed my reservation. Happy me !!
Another break in a nice park near Forte de Casa at 27km - coffee, coke, beer, water. Nice trail in the swamps. Next beer at the railway station in Alverca /32km. Than terrible 2.5km on a main street with heavy traffic. Beer and coffee in Alhandra /37km, 4 left - again nice walk along the river.
At 1830 I arrived at an amazing pilgrim hostel Vilatejo (€15) - laundry included, very helpful hospitalero! Good, that I had a reservation, because it was full already. I've got a shared room with two women - one from Porto Rico (first santiago) and one from Holland (5x). For dinner I went to the next bar and had a Russian salad and beer. Czytaj więcej

700 the first 8 km wasn't very nice walking on busy narrow streets,. Than came Parque das Nações (Expo 98) with nice trail along the river Tejo. Unfortunately all cafes were still closed, so another 12km along Rio Trancāo to Cafe Granja, where I had salad and beer. Czytaj więcej

31 lipca 2018, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
The morning in Messines was windy and cloudy, but in Lisbon was clear and hot again. I've slept nearly 10 hours. The train was 20 minutes late and quite full. At 1200 (after 2.5 hour) I arrived in Lisbon at Sete Rios. After coffee, coke and orange juice I went to the centre to collect my first stemps in Basilica do Martirez, in the Cathedral and in the Igreja de Santiago - there was a sign : "610 km to Santiago" - so let's go!
Than I checked in in my hotel - small room without windows, but otherwise nice (23.5e). Czytaj więcej

After another beer (mahou is better) I arrived at 1630 at Pensão Guia in Messines. I've got my own nice room (25e), what a difference!
Thanks some shortcuts I took, it was only 35km, but without the breeze it was quite hot in the afternoon. But the way was nice - like the real Camino.
I've got my first blisters 😞
After a short sleep I wanted to explore the town, but I managed only to go to the next shop to buy some wine, olives, beer and coke for "dinner". Czytaj więcej

I slept little bit, but was woken up every hour by the noise from the bars, from the street and mostly from the other people in the hostel - they talked and laughed until 5am on the terrace. (Looking forward to have my own room.)
I started at 630 with the sunrise, have coffee and fresh orange juice in Padere after 13km and two beer (the bottles are quite small here) in Alte at 23km. In a small outlet (Torre) a man gave me one tangerine and one orange from his garden - nice ! I was curious why so many people here speak good english - he explained that even here are many tourist (maybe looking for some serenity away from the overcrowded coast ?) Czytaj więcej

Evening in Albufeira
29 lipca 2018, Portugalia ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
The town is nice, but was overcrowded with tourists. The travel guide says 'it is the tourist capital of the Algarve - this explains it - looking forward to leave :).
The hostel is directly in the centre with lot of bars and restaurants around, so I am curious how the night will be (maybe I should be more careful by booking?).
I had a water melon and bought some wine and olives for the evening. The dormitory filled up slowly and there was a couple from Rožnov as well.
Tomorrow I have 40km to go. Czytaj więcej

Faro to Albufeira - 27/31km
29 lipca 2018, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
5km on a nice promenade in Quarteira - I had some apricots and a mulberry ice cream. Than along and on the beach again - but this time full with tourists - nothing compared with the nice quiet morning walk. One short swim (the water was quite cold - maybe like January in Malta ) and a small snack at one of the beaches.
At the end the walk become little bit challenging - the sandy beach changed to a rocky one and it wasn't always easy to find a way, especially with the coming high water. At 1600 l arrived at my booked hostel 'wish & stay' in Albufeira - 18e - dormitory for 15p with triple beds! Fortunately I arrived first and could choose one of the lower beds.
Only 27 km for the first day, so quite a relaxing day.

I decided that I have enough of the crowded beaches and will go to the north - I would have to take a train back to Tunes anyway, if I follow the coast further. So I booked a room in a pension in São Bartolomeu de Messines - 25e. From there I'll take a train to Lisbon on Tuesday - buying the online ticket (18.5e) wasn't so easy because the pages of Portuguese railways are only in Portuguese (my thanks to google translator).

Yesterday I arrived in Faro at 2130. After 4km walk in the darkness I arrived at 'Faro beach life hostel', where I had booked a bed in a 8p-dormitory - 28 e.
Cosy hostel full of young people - mostly girls.
I slept well, but waked up early - 600. The first 10 km went on the in the morning still empty beach. In the next town Quarteira (slowly filling with tourists) I had a coffee. Czytaj więcej
