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.Läs mer

Saturday, September 23

Started at 7:19 am. Finished at 1:45 pm. 25.9k/16.1m. Walking time 5h11m. Steps 32,220. Calories 1,183.

Highlight for the day - got to see a beautiful sunrise! Had to dig out the puffy jacket this morning. Chilly. Sunny day of walking the Camino path. Mostly all pavement.

Seeing a few more pilgrims on the Camino path. It appears we are walking the same distance which means possibly staying in the same Albergue. Tonight Ralph/Ameka (Netherlands), Peter (UK), Italian guys, Brazil gentleman, & Eza are here with me again.

Sunday, September 24.

Started at 7:09 am. Finished at 1:00 pm. 21.3K/13.2m. Walking time 4h22m. Steps 26,890. Calories 993.

Up & out a bit earlier. Beautiful sunny day. Uneventful day. Went by fast. Walked through a few small towns, so quite a bit of pavement. Had some dirt paths through eucalyptus forest too.

One highlight was stopping at Igreja Matrix. They were getting ready to start mass. A lot of younger couples with kids about 6 y.o. were outside and they all filed in together and sat in the front pews. I guess it was a special mass for the kids. Stayed for about 40 minutes and then left. The church was full!Läs mer

Monday, September 25

Started at 7:16. Ended at 2:00. 24.0k/14.9m. Walking time 4h46m. Steps 30,062. Calories 1,194.

It was an unexpected hilly day. Quite a few steep portions and then downhills. Never really left city/urban area during the walk.

Highlights of the day: seeing Jess/Peter on the trail a couple times. And then met up with Aimee (MN). The four of us and Peter/UK got together for dinner and had a great time. People help make moments into memories that last forever.

Day 18 - Sao João de Madeira to Grijo
Tuesday, September 26

Started at 7:14 am. Finished at 11:25 am. 18.8k/11.7m. Walking time 3h39m. Steps 23,966. Calories 868.

Not much happened today. Other than walking on pavement. Walking along a very busy, noisy two lane highway and trying to cross the highway without a crosswalk or light.

Did a short day because there is no accommodation between Grijo and Porto and definitely was not going to walk 35+k.

Staying in Albergue S Salvador for E10. One of first to arrive, so had choice of room. Surprised there was an option of 2-bed or 6-bed rooms. Aimee and I chose the 2-bed room.

Day 19 - Grijo to Porto
Wednesday, September 27
Start 6:30 am; finished 11:30 am;
17.5k/10.9m; walking time 3h26m; steps 20,848; calories 836. Note: walking to include seeing sites throughout Porto total for the day - 27.7k/17.2m.

Wonderful day to walk into Porto. Aimee and I walked almost to the Porto bridge together. I took a detour to see Half Rabbit recycling sculpture.

Almost all road pavement/cobblestone with a little Roman road thrown in.

Porto is a beautiful city. A lot of Americans are here. My studio overlooks the river, which you will see from the photos.

I played tourist til early evening. So many wonderful things to see. A highlight was going to the famous Livaria Lello (bookstore), so cool. Bought a couple books. See photo!

I will post other things I saw in an upcoming post.

All in all a wonderful day to be in Porto!

Day N/A

I’m sitting in the Barcelona airport waiting for my flight to Athens.

My Camino Portuguese for now is done.

I am fine and so wish I was waking up in Porto and continuing my walk northward to Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

I am needed back in Crete, so that is where I shall go.

At some future point, I will return to Porto with my pilgrim passport and continue on the journey.
