• Camino P Day 1 - Porto to Matosinhos

    September 22, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    I officially started Camino #2 today. But staying at the same hostel. So I had a very light bag today, and only walked about 12 km. Although that was before the walking tour I did this evening 😜🏃‍♀️.

    I walked along the Douro River for a bit more than an hour, then along the Atlantic Ocean. Very nice, lots of people out suntanning, swimming, and even surfing 🏄‍♂️. I stopped at the Tourist Information booth and they gave me a pin and a small bottle of hand sanitizer. I guess they want the pilgrims to stay healthy. I celebrated with a café and a pastel de nata.

    Then I walked to the bridge that I will cross tomorrow, the church nearby, and took the metro back into Porto. Lucky, the station is about 3 minutes from my hostel.
