• Day 2 to Marinhas

    18. August 2024 in Portugal ⋅ 🌙 70 °F

    Day 2 was great! We nursed our very sore muscles (we were definitely too ambitious on our first day), hobbled onto the Camino, and headed north. As we walk, we head directly into the wind with the sun at our backs. It's nice because the wind cools us off. But it also resulted in both of us getting pretty good sunburns on the backs of our legs and necks! So today, we did a better job applying sunscreen. :) We met and walked with an awesome couple from the UK, said Bom Camhino (good camino) and bom dia (good day) as often as we could, and tonight, we are sharing a room with a gentleman from Slovenia who works as a surveyor. One interesting observation about Portugal is that people here are really into exercise and are very tan. They have gym-type equipment at the beach, power walk, run, play beach volleyball, soccer, and cycle. I took a picture of a couple powerwalking past us to share. Hope you enjoy it!Weiterlesen
