Day 5 - To Tomar

A little over 19 miles today and that was a push. It was a low energy day. Sure glad we scheduled tomorrow as a rest day. Tomar looks like a fun place to check out - we are in the old city.

Spent some time with our Danish friends, mostly at a cafe stop that was long overdue. While at the cafe we also met a young couple from Siberia. I bet they were loving the 80s weather with sunny skies.

It was a challenging day. We both started out dragging and then had to go 14 miles before we came to an open cafe and could get some coffee, juice, cold water and/or beer. Earlier we stopped on a park bench and then later in the shade of a tree to eat what we were carrying. Today we left the river Teo and started up. A lot of ups and downs, but mostly ups, through a few nice neighborhoods and then through the forest. It was a hot, quiet, peaceful day.Les mer
