Day 14 Coimbra - Sernadelo

Day 14 - Coimbra to Sernadelo
September 22, Friday

Started 7:30 am. Finished 1:25 pm. 24.6k/15.3m. Walking time 4h59m. Steps 31,378. Calories 1,124.

Left behind the large university city & headed further north. Weather was perfect with a mix of sun & partly cloudy. A lot of pavement walking, but only a short portion on a busy highway (with a wide shoulder to walk on). All in all a good walking day.

I felt a little a drift today. The 7 people I have been consistently seeing, eating with, staying in same place over the last 5 days are all one day ahead of me. That is what happens when you take a rest day. So I’m now presented the opportunity to meet new pilgrims. I did run into Peter from Britain, who I met in Tomar.

Okay, the highlight of the day - I ate like a pig! The area I’m staying is known for its suckling piglet. Well had to try it. I ate like a person possessed! Started with a beer, fresh cheese and regional bread. Second course pig, homemade chip fries, salad and red wine. Finally Dessert cake. Photos show it all.

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