Stella from County Cork described this morning’s sky as "soft" - a more gentile way of saying socked-in.
The "soft sky" gave way to gentle mist and light rain. The walk was long, but far moreLeggi altro

ViaggiatoreYou both are amazing, so glad to have followed your adventure. I hope that your parents are following from above - they'd be envious and proud. We were in the city of Guimaraes and stayed in a Posada right next to a canyon bordering Spain, spectacular. Worth a visit if you can fit it in? We were driving, and experienced some of Europe's worst drivers, seriously. Safe journey home.
