Camino Day 18

Matosinhos to Vila do Conde
~23 km/14.3 miles

Note - I am writing this many days late, so my memories have faded.

Today I walked past the jetty where I fell and broke my wrist in 2022. It was much longer than I remembered! I searched for the beach bar that called the ambulance for me to thank them, but there were quite a few and none of them looked the way that I remembered.

The day started with some breakfast at a bakery with an abundant assortment of yumminess.

Most of the day was spent walking on boardwalks along the ocean in perfect weather.

I slept at the Pousada de Juventud, which is a very well run hostel. I was somewhat annoyed when the other women in my room insisted that the skylight window which I had opened earlier in the day to let in fresh air be completely closed, lest one of them feel a draft and get sick. 🙄

After dipping our toes in the ocean Kelly and I headed to Lidl to procure a couple of frozen meals and desserts for dinner, which we enjoyed in the hotel's lovely dining room.Weiterlesen
