“Give me the clear blue sky above my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours' march to dinner - and then to thinking!”—- Henry Hazlitt.
Got a late start today but did 19,580 steps and 9.5 miles. My apple gadgets always show more than Arlene’s don’t know why. It was extremely hot and didn’t sleep well night before so exhausted. We did end up taking train for 4 miles to get to our hostel. We were a little ambitious thinking we could do 13 miles today and reach Vila Franco de Xira.
Met a group of women from UK and ran into them again at our hostel, so we all had dinner at a great little Italian restaurant. Also on the trail today we met Jon from Holland who like the Dutch man in the movie “the way” showed me a better Camino app to use. Also met Laurence from France who gave us more tips.
The women from UK said the 4 mile train ride was a good call because those miles were along a very busy highway with a narrow pedestrian path.
Plan to get up early tomorrow to beat the heat.Read more
