    Day 13. Walk to Casa Fernanda

    September 23, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    Started walking at 8 today, and it was a beautiful morning. Thought we'd get into the routine of walking for an hour or two, then stop at a cafe for breakfast. We didn't realise that cafes were few and far between, so all we had before getting to our albergue at 2 was a coffee and small cake. Apart from that it was a nice walk, with a few hills.
    The albergue, Casa Fernanda, is known as one of the best on the Portuguese Camino, and has been really nice. We all sat around on lounge chairs in the shade chatting for a while, then Fernanda brought out wine, then cooked some snacks. Dinner was ready at around 7 and was really good, heaps of food, more wine and port afterwards. We had a bit of a sing along with an old American bloke playing guitar. We sat near a Scottish fella and his son, who had turned up late with his other son. The albergue was full but they were allowed to pitch their tent in the yard, which they were very grateful for. They were nice fellas.
    So Casa Fernanda lived up to it's reputation and it was a really nice day and night 👍
