Day 12 Conimbriga-Coimbra

Day 12 - Conimbriga to Coimbra, September 20, Wednesday

Started at 7:41 am. Finished at 12:30 pm. 17.6k/10.9m. 3h36m walking time. 22,144 steps. 837 calories.

After yesterday’s marathon+ today was a piece of cake. Not sore or hurting after the long day. Today was mostly paved roads. Walked alone first 6k. Stopped for coffee and who did I see - Aimee from MN! She stayed & we walked into Coimbra together the last 11k.

Stopped at Mosteiro de Santa Clara-A-Nova. Got a stamp in my pilgrim passport. Visited the church which was massive. Crossed over the wide Mondego river and into old town.

Stopped to eat and then to our separate accommodations. May be the last time I see Aimee and other pilgrims from the last 3 days. They are continuing on the Camino path tomorrow and I am taking a rest day. Not so much to rest but to be a tourist.

Staying in an ABnB apartment in old town and love it.

Enjoy the journey. Photos have captions. Bom Caminho.Read more
