Portugal
16 gennaio 2020, Portogallo ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
Have been on hop on hop off tour today. What an amazing place.! The people are very friendly and helpful. Chose to walk back to my hotel following the church visit. What a big mistake. The heaven's opened and I got v wet. Have booked to go to a Fado show and port tasting tonight. My plan is to do a river cruise (with port tastings) tomorrow with lots more exploring. Suppose I better get used to the rain if I am going to be walking the 123kms. Did I tell you that Jeni has had yo pull out so she can care for her Mum. So I am solo.poLeggi altro

Last day Porto
17 gennaio 2020, Portogallo ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Have had a wonderful day exploring the city. Have been to see a church. A book store (inspired J K Rowling to write Harry Potter). Been on a river cruise and tasted lotsa Port. A funny moment when I walked into a bag shop and explained how my zip was broken and needed to buy a new bag. Only to be told that the gentleman I was talking to was a customer and did not work in the shop!😃 Booked my bus ticket for tomorrow. Am heading to Soain and start my walk day after tomorrow. Wish me luck.Leggi altro

Day one. Tui to Porrino
19 gennaio 2020, Portogallo ⋅ 🌙 9 °C
Have managed to find my way out of Tui and now sitting in cafe sipping cinnamon tea. Never mind that I ordered black tea 😉. Have had to pinch myself that I am really doing this. But also shed a wee tear as my travel buddy couldn't make it. The cow charged at me mooing v loudly. Thought it was all over rover. Luckily it was tied up.Leggi altro

Porrino
19 gennaio 2020, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Arrived safe and sound. Apparently I walked 7kms extra by walking this road.
Not such a hard walk today. A bit of up tomorrow.
Earned my lunch all the same! Porrino quiet today as it is Sunday. Sat in the cafe and was joined by lots of people following the church service. Was interesting listening to the banter even though I couldn't understand a word. Lots of beer and wine drinking...not by me though😇Leggi altro

Day two to Porrino
20 gennaio 2020, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
A frosty start to the day today. Headed off on the wrong path. Luckily a couple of other walkers let me know. Who knows where I would have ended up 😀. Walked a good 17kms with a lovely young American girl. It was great to have her company and helped during the hills (the down was particularly challenging on my knees). She had spent a semester of University at Otago. The second part of my walk without her wasn't much fun. I thought I had missed a turn off (lost confidence after the effort in the morning haha ) as there was a 3km stretch on the road. A little bit scary with trucks and buses hurtling past at 80km. Had to follow directions to my hotel and somehow managed to find it. Got to my room and fell asleep for over an hour!Leggi altro

Pontevedra
21 gennaio 2020, Spagna ⋅ 🌙 9 °C
Day three and feeling ok. Stupid knee gives me gyp on the downhill. Beautiful countryside today. Walked solo for most part. Caught up with American girl for the last half hour. Have had a chance to explore Pontevedra. A bigger city with an old part to it. Lots of alley ways to explore. Have just eaten tapas for tea and have been given a shot of local liquor that the owner says I need to tryLeggi altro

Avon Zwarts You should have had 2 shots! 🤪 You not take any pain killers for the knee?

Viaggiatore What a great app! Day 10 already?! Sorry to be behind the ball! Hopefully the knee gets used to those hills and stops complaining! I get those panic-y feelings too when I am uncertain if I am on the right path (I assumed it was because I had been spoilt by all the excess signage on all our roads and walks in the UK, compared to the distinct lack of reassuring signs in NZ!)

Day 5
23 gennaio 2020, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C
Leaving Casa de Reis and heading to Padron. Apparently this is renowned for its oysters. Shame I don't like them. Yesterday was a bit of hard work for me. But have lots of anti inflammatories on board and had a couple of baths so hopefully all good today. I didn't take many photos. This town is a spa town and the region is famous for vineyards and wineries. But as it is winter everything is shut...shame. Came down to breakfast and man oh man! What a choice. Ate in the dining room on my own for tea last night (but had Glenn's company on Skype) and breakfast not another soul in sight. Followed a young German couple for most of the way yesterday. Two little dogs hanging out the window barking like mad. Couldn't see them for ages. Reminded me of wee Parker. I couldn't understand a word they were barking as I do not understand Spanish!Leggi altro
