Here I am. I landed at Lisbon and took the subway over to Oriente. It was only a few months ago I was on the subway here so I ride it like a pro now. I’m currently sat on the train to Coimbra. ETA Czytaj więcej

Wow, wow, wow ! For Sunday afternoon there’s a lot of noise. Everywhere I went I could hear music. People were dancing in the streets. It’s like I’d walked onto a set of a musical. I covered Czytaj więcej

A wander through Mealhada
22 września 2025, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
So this place is a bit of a fail for me. It’s ok but not much to see or do. I added a couple more miles to my step count so ended my day on 18 miles. The walk out of Mealhada tomorrow looks good Czytaj więcej
Mealhada to Águeda
23 września 2025, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F
Long old walk today clocking 19.5 miles. The weather was great sunny all day and no wind. I stopped at a cafeteria with 3 hours left and he gave me a water and banana for free, what a lovely man. I Czytaj więcej
REEBANOCO aka SharionNever lonely! I have me, myself and I 🤪 When I reach the hoards of pilgrims further down the line I’ll look back and cherish the solitude.

Yes need to get a drink and cereal bar for the journey up. Perhaps a coffee somewhere. Meal deal for lunch pop to co op on Saturday before work get some bits then coffee in a garage. Will need to eat or feel weak.
PodróżnikObviously not for you🤣😂. Lovely room you will get lost in that bed!! See blue tiles are still on buildings. Like the metal art works.
REEBANOCO aka SharionIm heading to Porto which happens to be covered in blue tiles so should get some good pics there. This bed is heavenly im sprawled out airing my feet 🤣
OdA to Sao Joao de Madeira
26 września 2025, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

Long old walk off course today (purposefully) I wanted to visit Espinho on the coast before heading into Porto to meet the oldies tomorrow. I’ve bagged this lovely guest house by the sea. Czytaj więcej

The video is a chicken stealing fruit off the tree. As is walked up the damn thing was hopping up and down and as soon as I got my phone out it got camera shy. I waited and waited and finally I won 🤣

I actually really like this but I bet it doesn’t do enough miles on a charge
PodróżnikThey used to advertise it on tv here. Electric cars are pricey and you need a charger

Started the day with a lush breakfast. I’m told the storms were bad and my guesthouse lost all power - you’ll be pleased to know I didn’t hear a thing 😴 so off I set and although a cloudy Czytaj więcej

So today we skipped forward as the Oldies can’t walk from Porto. We took the train to Vigo where we splashed out on an Uber to bring us to Baiona. I wanted to come back here as I didn’t explore it Czytaj więcej
