    Day 2 of Fisherman's Way Trail Trek

    May 12 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    We started our Mother's Day with a great breakfast at our hotel and added some of the meats and cheeses to our buns we purchased yesterday and wrapped them for lunch today. We headed for the ferry boat that they recommend to take that cuts off approx. 4 km of what is described as boring road walking!! There are so many ferral cats, but the ladies take such good care of them, feeding them sardines and they even had a little bunk house for them. Today we are hiking from Villa de Nova Milfontes to Almograve. We had a hot day mostly walking the beach, the deep sand on the cliffs, and through narrow stretches of low trees and varied foliage. We enjoyed our lunch on the beach before climbing back up to the cliff top main trail. The buns were so delicious...complements to the local couple🥰 We were making good headway today and got to our hostel early afternoon. It was really nice, newer and so clean. We freshened up and went out to find dinner. Again we saw a lot of cats and on one of the streets someone built a very cute cat house with food underneath in dishes ( see in a future post). We decided to try the restaurant of a man who gave us his food flyer as we were walking into town. It was a great decision. It was Nepalese food and we shared a variety of amazing dishes. The young man serving us was so pleasant and friendly. His dad was the man who gave us the flyer. We made recommendations in Alltrails because it was so good, inexpensive and the family was so friendly. We had a mango ice cream and shared that and then on the walk back to the hostel we got another ice cream with chocolate😋. Once back Anthony and I chatted with Jacob, Natasha and Vlad in Nanaimo. After our call we went to the main area and we sat and played cards and drank a tea before bed. It was a good day.Read more
