Viana Do Castelo

What. A. Day. 31,8 km!
Alex, a German guy I met yesterday, and I decided to go off road and properly hug the coast because my legs and feet were hating the cobbles. We were the only ones. We got lost several times, racked up some extra kms we did not need, walked the most challenging terrains but talked all day about biochemistry, diving, evolution, the importance of psychopaths and empaths in society, Thai cave rescues and so much more.

We met the rest of the gang at about 4km from our destination which was a monastery up 750 steps. You read that right: ZEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY STEPS, to find the albergue needed pre-reservation (which we did not have).

All for the washer and dryer and the experience of sleeping in a monastery.

Oh the Camino... ❤️Read more
