7:40am start from municipal albergue in Vila do Conde overlooking the cathedral in background

The Way started by the river and past this beautiful park

Vibrant colours and sunrise glistening through the trees made our morning

This ship is a symbol of Vila do Conde's past

The present day boats not so spectacular

Our morning shadows as we approach a fortress protecting the city

Large structure by the water. It was an amazing sight

Tiles represent Portugal and this wall made of tiles displays the city's past

This is for you Iva and Brad. Walked past a golf course beside the coast ⛳️

Along The Way this frame stood for pilgrims to take a picture with. Fâo is our home tonight

And this is why it's called Spot. This cute rescue dog is named Spot Resembles Ginger?

Ann and I needed this swim in it's cool waters after our 24km walk today

Maybe not ALL night. Ann's told me a million times never to exaggerate 😝Why we needed the swim 🏊‍♀️

Afterwards we found this old British phone booth in the town square

There was quite a commotion near the square and this is why. Reminded us of an Alfred Hitchcock film

CP Day 3 To Fâo

28. august, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

Today was our longest walk yet, 24km over 6 hours. And boy were we ready to be done! We walked mostly on boardwalks alongside the ocean and sand dunes. We are amazed at the miles and miles of boardwalk along the coast. We loved them at first but they were never ending and we were quite happy to finally get off of them. We moved inland today as the infrastructure for the Camino is not as good in this area. We really liked getting back into the small, old world villages like those we experienced on the Camino Frances. After 24 km we reached our hostel and were very pleased to see it had a well kept yard and pool which was a nice reward at the end of a hard day. We are staying with some nice hikers from New Zealand, USA and Slovakia (mother and daughter who are mostly camping ⛺️ along the Camino!)Læs mere
