Camino Day 2

Albergaria-a-Nova to Oliveira de Azemeis 14km
We are planning to do a few stages of 15km or so for the first few days to get used to the walking routine. We weren't able to train as much as last time and there is a Camino saying "start like an old person, finish like a young person" so hopefully that plan works. There aren't as many places to stay between Lisbon and Porto, so options are a bit limited. We started walking around 7. Met and chatted to a Portuguese fella for a while until we reached the first cafe for some morning tea, then walked by ourselves the rest of the way. Not too many other walkers around, but a few big groups of cyclists. The highlight of the day was walking through the old part of a historic village.
We'd booked into a fancy hotel for the night for a pilgrim price of €70, and arrived a bit after 1pm, so an early finish. Had a look around town and just back after dinner.
Forecast isn't great for the next few days, so looks like we're in for some rain 😳. Booked a B&B for tomorrow night.Read more
