      Póvoa da Varzim - Marinhas (ca. 27 km)

      9 September 2022, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      - Be still. -

      Es ist ok, nicht auf alle Fragen direkt eine Antwort geben zu können oder eine Antwort laut auszusprechen. Es ist okay, wenn du Entscheidungen, Meinungen oder Argumente für dich behältst - gerade dann, wenn es um sehr persönliche Dinge geht und du dich mit der Beantwortung verletzlich machst.

      Lektion 3: Es geht nicht darum, Fragen, Themen oder Entscheidungen mit sich selbst auszumachen. In Jesus kannst du einen Wegbegleiter finden, dem du alles vor die Füße werfen kannst, egal ob Gedanken oder Gefühle. Er sieht dich und statt dir Gedanken darüber zu machen, was andere darüber denken und mit den Infos tun werden, hilft er dir mit deinen persönlichen Themen zurecht zu kommen.

      - Listen to the sound of your inner voice even if others mean to know more about yourself than you do. -

      Zur Route:
      Póvoa da Varzim - Rio Alto - Fão - Esposende ~ Marinhas

      Entlang der rauen Küste Portugals starten wir bei grauem Himmel und Nebel über Sand, Holzwege und Dünen. Später verlief die Strecke durch Feld, waldähnliche Gebiete, durch Städte und Dörfer durch Straßen voller Palmen und alter sowie neuer Häuser bis zum Zielort Marinhas. Unterwegs war ich mit Lucie, die ich gestern kennenlernte. Eines der schönsten Erlebnisse heute war das spontane Testen der Akustik einer Kirche, in der wir sangen und die uns ein paar Minuten Erholung von unseren schmerzenden Füßen bot. Am Abend traf ich auf mir bisher unbekannte Menschen und auf bereits bekannte. Gemeinsam aßen wir zu Abend und genossen die portugiesische Abendsonne - die Pilgerfamilie wächst. Nicht zu kurz kommen durfte natürlich der Austausch über den noch vor uns liegenden Weg, weshalb wir uns die unterschiedlichsten Wegvarianten auf der Landkarte anschauten und unsere ungefähren Routen austüftelten. Auch die Kommunikation mit anderen Pilgern, mit denen man sich auf Grund unterschiedlicher Sprachen kaum versteht, ist oft sehr lustig - da kommt es auch mal vor, dass ich plötzlich das Parfum eines wildfremden Mannes auf den Arm gesprüht bekomme oder die größte Verwirrung darüber herrscht, aus welchem Land der andere kommt. So froh wie heute, nach ca. 27 km und nur einer größeren Pause in meinem Bett zu liegen, war ich selten. Ich merke auch, dass ich demnächst einige Tage brauche, an denen ich ganz alleine unterwegs sein werde.

      Esposende to Castelo do Neiva

      25 September 2022, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      I walked by lots of churches today 💒, but the most interesting was the Parish Church of St Tiago, which was established in the year 862. It has been updated of course, but is possibly the oldest church dedicated to Santiago in this part of Portugal.

      There was also a river crossing with a bridge that would not have passed any safety standards at home. But it was wider than expected and actually quite sturdy. I didn’t fall off 😎.

      There was a wide variation in terrain today. Cobblestones (too many), pavement, rocky paths, and a few forest trails (my favourite). And yes, even some eucalyptus trees.

      Got it right this time!

      12 Mei, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Well, we said 23km, and it was!👏👏👏
      We left the albergue at about 0730 (you're usually chucked out at 0800 anyway) after a very humid night's sleep in a dorm for 6. We were all ladies so you'd have thought there wouldn't be too much snoring... hands up the guilty parties 🖐🖐. Notice I said parties! It was Julie and me🙄😂😂. But it still wasn't a bad night's sleep, and my blister had dried out a bit so a covering of melanin and we were raring to go! Connie at the albergue had reassured me that there was a café after about 15 minutes, so we didn't consider eating a first breakfast before we left. However... you guessed it, the café was closed 🙄😂. I knew there was nothing until Fão (unless some enterprising person had worked out there was a real need for a snack bar) so a Snickers for a first breakfast it was 😋.
      Our walk took us along boardwalks, past golf clubs and allotments, then changing from boardwalk to cobbles (ouch!) until we reached Apúlia. However, there was nothing there because we were away from the seaside. Not by far, but we'd have added over a km to our walk by trying to find something open on a Sunday morning. So when we reached Fão we fell into the first open café we found and devoured some very nice cake 😋. It was a good rest, and I removed my foot covering - too soon 😂 - two minutes later, back on it went! But we set a good pace and continued walking over the bridge at Fão and on to Esposende, where we stopped for lunch. We were very healthy and ate a salmon salad, with no dessert! The sun was shining, but there was a lovely, gentle breeze to keep us cool. There were a few pilgrims (one carrying a guitar - we were hoping they'd be staying with us to provide a bit of entertainment 😀) and the way was well signposted.
      The rest of our walk took us through some lovely hilly areas with great houses, but no gelaterias or cafés to be found 😫😂. We eventually found our lovely accommodation and, after a shower and a clothes wash, bimbled out for our beer 👏👏👏. We then ordered a pizza each for supper with, of course, a beer!
      Tomorrow (and the days afterwards) are due to be very wet indeed, so we'll be packing up extra carefully in the morning. Everything will be triple protected. We hope...
      Ooohhh, and just listen to those 🐸s 😂😂😂

      This wind has been far out at sea...

      12 Mei 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      'scuse me, Ted Hughes!
      I slept like a log last night 😴😴😴. It was great to just stay in and chill and climb into bed (quite literally, I was on the top bunk😅) at about 9.00pm! With no kindle (coke incident🙄) it meant I could just close my eyes and relax, and I did!
      We left the 'guest house' at 7.30am after a small first breakfast of left over bread, cheese and watermelon; to walk so early was fabulous. We walked along the coast for a few kms before turning inland, which was brilliant as the wind miraculously disappeared 😆. Walking on the coastal boardwalks has been lovely if windy, but inland it's all cobbles that aren't so comfy or easy on your feet. After 7km we reached Apuila to find our second breakfast but we were on the wrong side of town (all the cafés were at the coast, we weren't), so another 3.5km to Fao it was! A gorgeous gluten and lactose free quiche set us up and OurJan definitely had a spring in her step after that🤭.
      Another stop at Marinhas called for a very welcome beer and some salty crisps and then it was just a few kms to Antas, where we're staying.
      Somewhere along the way (in Esposende, actually) I realised I'd developed a small blister on a little toe so stopped to dress it. No worries!
      It was good to see, along the way, that the Portuguese have questionable garden furniture taste as well 😜.
      When we reached Antas OurJan asked me to look at her blisters 😨. One of her little toes is very poorly 😕 so perhaps the new walking shoes aren't so perfect 😉. Next pair, OurJan!
      This 'guest house' is fantastic. It has all mod cons, a fridge full of beer and a pizza delivery driver who speaks English - result!
      It's bed again at 9.00pm, hurrah, and a 25km walk to Carreço tomorrow (although OurJan might well be taking a taxi!)

      Red vs Blue - what to do?

      13 Mei 2023, Portugal

      Not Liverpool versus Everton, although I have to say if it was red vs blue, Everton would win every time! 😉 If only...
      Just 3 of us walking today. Very sensibly, OurJan decided to have a rest day for her toes, so she stayed in Antas for the morning and took a taxi to our accommodation in Carreço at lunchtime.
      We decided to walk the 25km to Carreço and set off at 0730 with a bit of oomph (only a bit...)😆. It was a fab walk through old small towns and villages following the blue route until we came to a decision point. Red (which would take us closer to the coast, which we were missing) or continue inland on blue? A joint decision to follow the red route meant it wasn't my fault 🤭😜😅. The red line on Google maps led us along some wonderful, ancient tracks and into small villages with no shops or cafés, so when we fell across a small café we fell into it for our first breakfast! Just one croissant and one 'thing' was left for us to eat, so we cut each into 3 and shared them. It was pretty much pure sugar, but we needed it! I have a brilliant 'builder's bum' photo if you'd like to see it! We continued, meeting an Irish couple walking the other way and stopping for a chat, and thank goodness I checked our route because we were well off track 🙄😅. Where's Julie when you (desperately) need her? So backtrack number 1 of the day...
      We finally reached the beaches and stopped for a very early lunch (or second breakfast) of cheese and ham omelettes (ordered), which arrived as cheese and ham toasties 🤭. But they were delicious and much appreciated!
      We walked on and actually found a boardwalk 👏👏👏 so we could walk next to the ocean. Fabulous! But said boardwalk ended abruptly and the route (had we followed it) went for kilometres over the dunes!!! No way!!! So, backtrack number 2... Unfortunately, this meant we had to walk the rest of the way to Viana do Castela on the road, which was very tiring and sometimes quite hairy! But we arrived in Viana after about 22kms and sat down for a much needed beer.
      It didn't take us long to agree to a taxi which took us to OurJan in Carreço. We're staying at a lovely casa, although the rules are a little strange 🤪. We had to be out of the kitchen by 7.00pm (no problem) but at 6.58pm the lady of the house yelled "no more cooking!" 😆. This suited us as we'd eaten and I'd just burned a bag of popcorn in the microwave 🤣🤣🤣. We retreated to our rooms, house stinking of burned popcorn, and are now preparing ourselves for Eurovision (popcorn-less, despite having 2 more bags in my backpack, but I'm not risking the wrath of her ladyship 😲🤭🤣).
      Moral of today's story? Everton. Every time! 🤣

      Neues Fähnchen 🇵🇹 und neue Batterie🔋

      28 Oktober 2023, Portugal ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

      Nach unserem Besuch in Santiago de Compostela, sollte es am nächsten Morgen weiter Richtung Süden geben.
      Doch beim Startversuch kam nur ein merkwürdiges Klack Klick, paar mal probiert und dann nix mehr....Tod!
      "Das hörte sich aber schon komisch an": Günther befürchtet es könnte der Anlasser sein!🫣🤔
      Nach ein paar Tests und Versuchen stellten wir fest.....-nicht der Anlasser ist Schrott, sondern die Starterbatterie ist hinüber. Warum auch immer?..........und Gott sei Dank🤪
      Durch Umpolen und laden über Solar, sprang die Kiste nach einer guten Stunde, oh jubel......wieder an! 🤸

      Nun erstmal los und irgendwo eine neue Batterie besorgen, aber wo🔋?
      Unverrichteter Dinge mit Fragezeichen im Gesicht, legen wir noch eine Übernachtung in Pontevedra ein.
      Wo wir am nächsten Morgen dann doch fündig wurden.........und da stand mir die Erleichterung ins Gesicht geschrieben 😁🥳

      Noch schnell eingebaut und weiter geht's!
      Unser nächstes Fähnchen ⛳️ ja, es wartet da hinten schon. 😉
      Juhu 🙌 geschafft! Da ist es 🇵🇹....Portugal ist erreicht!

      Und was soll ich sagen, hier schaut auch die Sonne 🌞 malwieder kurz vorbei😅
      Nur der Wind ist uns gefolgt, aber Sturm ist ja erst wenn die Schafe 🐑 keine Locken mehr tragen 😂

      4. Etappe - nach Viana do Castelo

      21 November 2019, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      Happy Birthday Piuma! ❤️🐾🦴

      Heute sind wir doch tatsächlich mit Sonnenschein gestartet (und es hat auch mit Sonne geendet).
      Der Weg führte uns durch das Städtchen Esposende und dann eine Weile der Küste lang, bis wir dann landeinwärts gingen.
      Caro startete vor mir und nach ca. 1 1/2 Stunden haben wir uns bei einer Pause getroffen, danach gingen wir den Weg zusammen.
      Gestern haben wir noch gedacht, dass die heutige Etappe ca. 22km ist, dass dann 28 daraus wurden, hätten wir nicht erwartet.
      Völlig k.o. kamen wir dann in Viana do Castelo an.

      Vila do Conde - Apulia

      3 Juni 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Nach Vila do Conde ging es zuerst eine beträchtliche Strecke dem Strand entlang, wo die Strandbetreiber daran waren, sich auf die kommende Saison vorzubereiten. Dazu stellten sie Holzgerüste bereit, die sie dann nur noch mit den Überzügen versehen müssen, wenn es soweit ist.
      Gegen Mittag drückte die Sonne ziemlich stark und das Wandern war beschwerlich. Später meldete sich das veränderliche atlantische Wetter, und es begann uns auf den Kopf zu regnen. Die dazugehörigen Wolken spendeten uns zusätzlich eine angenehme Kühle. Der ausgeschilderte Pilgerweg führte zeitweise auf Holzplanken durch lange und hohe Hecken, welche die Aussicht einschränkten.
      Es waren sehr wenige Pilger unterwegs zu sehen.
      Später sahen wir auch etliche Golfspieler, die auf einem langgezogenen Kurs ihr Glück eines "Hole in One" versuchten. Gegen Abend verließen wir dann den Pilgerweg und suchten unsere Unterkunft "Home of the Pilgrims in Apulia". Nach dem Einchecken und einer erfrischenden Dusche sowie Wäsche waschen gingen wir schließlich noch abendessen. Das erste empfohlene Restaurant war total überfüllt bzw. reserviert, so dass wir weiterziehen mussten. In einem nahe gelegenen Restaurant bestellten wir uns eine Dorade. Wir stellten dann fest, dass jeder eine eigene ganze Dorade serviert bekam, zusammen ungefähr 1,1 Kilo inklusive Kopf, Gräten etc. Aber er schmeckte uns wunderbar. Kathy, unsere Begleiterin, bestellte eine ganze Krabbe 😬! In unserer Unterkunft gab es noch ein ganz süßes Hundilein, einen äusserst friendly dog, den unser Host von der Straße aufgenommen hatte.

      Apulia: Lost and Found

      5 Mei 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      So, Brigit from Germany and I are Camino besties now.

      I don’t want to get too mushy, but 10 miles of sore feet and chit-chat followed by wine, beer, and exhaustion are a potent mix. Or maybe it was that Camino magic that veteran pilgrims go on about.

      Whatever it was, Brigit and I found ourselves sharing shit you don’t share with strangers. We spilled secret guilts and wishes and sorrows. They poured out like the wine that started with “Oh, no. I can’t drink a whole bottle myself” and ended with a very amused waiter.

      We two side-by-side ‘peregrinas’ had spent the last four or five hours lulled by the rhythmic tic-tic unison of our walking poles on the boards. Walls come down when the biggest worry you share is where you’re going to pee next. I think, also, there is a safety in being pilgrims. Most of us here are seeking something…next… without quite knowing what it will be. That’s enough for a relationship on the road.

      But Brigit and I have dozens of things in common: two sons; one gregarious and the other shy; husbands who would rather stab themselves with a pencil than walk 10 miles a day; merino wool t-shirts. We also are driven at this moment in life to consider what we want our ‘next’ to be. It’s a heavy topic. We tried early during dinner to lighten the mood. The mood was not having it.

      So, we got right down in it - sharing our fears and guilt and lost dreams - two days after having met. It was a long dinner. We ate many meats and cheeses. (Pork and dairy are big here.) We got a little weepy. We saw ourselves through each other’s eyes. This is a breathtaking thing when you are tired and drunk and are ripe for reflection and revelation.

      They say, “The Camino provides,” but I did not see this coming. I feel lucky that it did. Traveling light apparently includes dropping my emotional baggage. Brigit and I were able to lighten each other’s loads, and as a result our own. We’re both closer to our next thing, whatever that may be.

      As she would say, “It is good. It will be so. We will make it so.”
