Day 9
Another evening amongst friends
June 27, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
Ponte de Lima is charming! Bigger, but not really big. When we got back to our wonderfully air conditioned room, I took a nap. We found out that McDarra had stayed an extra day in town and we messaged him to join us for dinner. On our way to find dinner l we ran into Ellie, who had walked an extra long day! So the crew was back together! We also ran into our French “friends” a couple of times!! No mention of the missing air conditioning remote. 😉🫣 Evening was beautiful and the temp is once again bareable, but it makes it hard to call it a night early. Both Ellie and Mcdarra walk on tomorrow, while we take a rest day.Read more
How fun! Maybe you'll all meet up again before this adventure is over. Beautiful sunset pics by the way.🤩 [Kathy Aiken]

Traveler I think it was ice cream - banana chocolate with dulce de leche (caramel). Delicious!!

Day 10
Best Salmon Ever
June 28, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
Finished off this rest day with a dinner of the best Salmon I’ve ever eaten! Portugal serves huge portions, which is great for our Camino appetites, but I can never finish my plate and there’s no taking it home! It’s 9pm and we just got back from dinner. I’ve still got to check on my laundry that’s air drying, shower and do a little pre-packing!Read more
Traveler Yum, nice looking salmon!

Traveler One thing I love about “the old country”, is their fountains😊

Traveler I still marvel when I see glimpses of the ways they irrigated or fountains still doing the job of giving people water after many centuries!

Day 10
Que sera sera
June 28, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
No alarm this morning… so nice! Today is really a “whatever will be, will be” day. Felt only a tiny bit guilty watching a few pilgrims leave town and knowing our friends are on their way… but only a TINY bit! We looked at temperatures today and the altitude of “the climb” that is part of the next stage of our walk and… we’re good!👍 How about an after-breakfast nap?! 😁Read more
Traveler How about a dip in that pool! A day of rest, is always best❣️

Traveler We are thinking we might swim in the river, later, when it gets to be hot! 👍

💞💤 a cold water dip in the river might be just what your body needs before the trek tomorrow. Take your time girls. [Kathy Aiken]

Day 28
Ponte de Lima & Viana do Castelo
August 30, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Heute Grenzübertritt nach Portugal. Hinein ins Weingebiet des Vinho Verde.
In Ponte de Lima ist der Hauptanziehungspunkt eine Brücke der Römer. Ansonsten ein pitoresker Ort am Rio Lima und an der Rua de Vinho Verde.
Besuch beim lokalen Wein & Gemüsehändler, der aber auch Bekalao (getrockneten Kabeljau) im Angebot hat. Die Zubereitung ist vielfältig. Man muss sich trauen und es unbedingt probieren im Restaurant oder Tapas Bar. Erst dann versteht man warum es die traditionelle Lieblingsspeise in Spanien und Portugal ist.
Anschließend noch ein Abstecher nach Viano Do Castelo. Da steht die Kathedrale auf dem Berg und hat ihren eigenen Lift.Read more
