    Camino Portuguese

    9 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    I took a break from the Camino and made a slow trip from south east Portugal to Northwest Portugal by train and bus. I met Sheila my wife for a few days at an apartment that she had rented in Vienna de Castillo and then started walking the Camino Portuguese from there.
    Jenny, a friend from the states joined me for the first day. The walk included a boring part, a very interesting part, and an impressive thunderstorm. We were invited to take shelter by a construction crew working near the Camino, and we’re later joined by an assortment of other pilgrims. We later found a coffee shop and a taxi pulled up just in time to return Jenny to our starting point. I continued a little further to what promises to be a very good Albergue. A gentleman from Lithuania has headed down the road, looking for a bottle of wine and promising a second birthday party.    Leer más

    5/9 One more night in Coimbra

    9 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    The set schedule cracks,
    Sometimes, we should stay longer
    To catch the magic.

    I stayed one more night to get my bearings and make some connections before I began walking. I stayed in the Albergue "Rainha Santa Isabel. " it's good to connect with other pilgrims before the journey begins. Now I have names and faces of those who will be part of our camino family for the next few weeks. I entered an old Renaissance church today, which is not used any longer for holding services. But there was a showing of the works of two Canadian artists who have fascinating displays there! Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller collaborate in setting up multimedia sound installations all over the world. Look them up, it's very interesting work. I only have a video of their hanging carousel of mirrors. But there was a lot displayed that tickled my senses.
    In the other video, I'm walking through water with rain boots on, in an old stone basemen. Once upon a time in the late 1500s, this place was a holding tank for rain water. Imagine having a well down in your basement? Now it's a novelty bar. Only open for happy hour at the end of the day. Some people walk down oodles of steps to have a drink while standing at the bar in rain boots. I wonder how coming back up those stairs after a few drinks look? 😬. The cat above the albergue. It's too far for her to jump, so she watches the world from her sill. I call her Rapunzel. This town has been fun. Fourteen miles to the next town tomorrow.    Leer más

    Next Stop: Lagos

    8 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Our journey continues: This time our destination is Lagos!

    Of course trains are striking again, so instead of the train, we are taking the bus 🚌🚐

    We got to Lagos in the afternoon on Thursday and embarked on a little walk around town to check out our new home for the week.

    On Friday, we got up early to go for a run which was stunning! Calm and amazing landscape 🌞🤗

    So far Lagos is definitely our favourite spot along the Algarve!

    We spent the day exploring the city, visiting a few local coffee shops and checking out the local beach before heading to town at night.

    On Saturday, we went to Luz along the Fisherman's Trail which runs along the coast.

    Great spot!    Leer más

    Nach Olhão

    8 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Wir sind jetzt in Olhão, in der Nähe von Faro. Wir waren schon vor dem Mittag da, die Fahrt von Lagos war nur knapp über eine Stunde. Der Campingplatz hier liegt am Rande der Stadt und ist ziemlich groß, aber trotzdem recht ruhig. Wir stehen so halbschattig unter Pinien, eigentlich ganz nice. Nachdem wir uns hier eingerichtet hatten, sind wir in die Stadt gegangen, knappe halbe Stunde Fußweg. Wir sind durch ein paar Geschäfte getingelt und dann am Hafen entlang spaziert, haben dort geschaut, wo das Boot zu den Inseln losfährt, damit wollen wir am Sonntag fahren. Da wir etwas hungrig waren, sind wir in einem Eiscafé am Wasser eingekehrt. Das bestellte Sandwich und die beiden Eisbecher waren riesig, wir waren so richtig satt danach. Auf dem Rückweg haben wir noch fürs Abendessen eingekauft, es gab Salat, nach dem fetten Snack genau das Richtung. Wir haben bis zum Sonnenuntergang draußen gesessen und gespielt, aber irgendwann in der Dämmerung wurden wir von Mücken angegriffen und aufgefressen, da mussten wir uns nach drinnen verziehen. Das war das erste Mal hier, dass wir so schlimm von den Mücken gepiesackt wurden.Leer más

    5/8 Coimbra (first stamp!)

    8 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Rio Montego
    Winds beside me as I walk
    Coimbra Evening.

    This is my starting point. I'm not quite sure where I go from here, but I'm figuring out as I go. While walking along the river, I found the declathalon store on top of a hill! How would I ever manage without google Maps? I bought a set of trekking poles, and now I'm ready to go. While walking back to my lodging this evening, I met a young man from Turkey who asked me to take his picture against a view of the town with the sun setting. He was bursting out of his seams with the exciting life he is living and went on to tell me of all the places he's been sent around the world installing software. Young, excited, and the world is his oyster! I wished him well for the rest of his life, and I continued to walk up the hill. His youth, joy, and zest for life are so refreshing! Coimbra is a lovely place, but I'll be on my way first thing in the morning.Leer más

    5/7-5/8 Cascais- visiting Emily's Family

    8 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    With the genes
    we share,
    What is more important than
    Warm family hugs?

    Because I am walking Portugal this year, how could I not visit my niece who is living here on the coast?
    When we speak about how the Camino provides, it's more about a state of mind. Allowing the universe to play a part in your life, rather than being fixed on how you think life is supposed to happen. But when we loosen our sails and allow the shifting winds to move through and around us, there is an organic order that is allowed to happen.
    I usually have a bit of anxiety about getting from place to place in foreign cities. But I had the train connection figured out before even boarding the plane. But then there's a train strike. Change of plans, and I had to do more figuring.
    Here's the part about the universe.
    A dear friend, at home, has a friend who also lives in the same town as my niece. She asked if I would deliver a quilt (she made) to her friend in Cascais. That transaction worked well. For the friend had to be in Lisboa to drop her child at an appointment, which then they were able to pick me up for the gift passing and deliver me to my lodging in Cascais. Perfectly choreographed!
    My lodging at Moro's Friend's House was clean and comfortable. I think I had the whole house to myself! I highly recommend staying their if visiting Cascais.
    I dined with Emily and met her beautiful family! I know we don't always have the time we wish to indulge in hours and days with people we love, or want get to love, but I've learned to savor the small, delicious quality of a moment, and be content with that. Watching my children and my siblings' children become successful in doing what they love, or become responsible, loving parents, is the most satisfying reward in life.
    Last picture: Emily packed me a snack bag for the bus ride💖. She's taken to motherhood like a duck to water! 🦆🐥🐣💕    Leer más

    Belle navigation jusqu'à Porto

    7 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Porto est à environ 35 milles, nous partons sous le soleil vers 9h30.
    Magnifique navigation, direction plein sud au portant par 15 puis 20 noeuds de vent. Puis le vent forcit à 25 puis 28 noeuds. Nous naviguons joyeusement à 6 et même 7 noeuds alors que quelques algues voyagent avec nous.
    Puis le vent tourne est, sud-est en faiblissant, le temps de la préparation et de la prise du repas.
    La température est plus douce qu'en Galice. Alors que ce matin il ne faisait encore que 13.9 degrés au réveil, le thermomètre monte vite dans la journée et pour la première fois nous naviguons en short et t-shirt.
    Puis le vent forcit à nouveau à l'approche de Porto. 6 cargos attendent devant le port de commerce. Nous arrivons à 7 noeuds dans l'embouchure du Douro puis remontons la rivière au moteur, avec un courant contre de 3 ou 4 noeuds.
    Nous mouillons par 3,5m de fond à marée basse sur la rive opposée à Porto, près du village de pêcheurs d'Afurada où nous allons manger des sardines grillées, gambas et calamars 😀😋    Leer más

    Santiago do Cacem to Moinhos do Paneiro

    7 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    The day started the way all days should start. After just a small unplanned loop, we found a great coffee place, and I had my first pastille de nata , a Portuguese pastry, of the trip.
    The day was somewhat overcast, and in the 60's, a perfect walking day.
    The trail was beautiful. It was surrounded by many kinds and colors of wildflowers and trees. The ascents and decents were very manageable.
    We came across a small cafe just as we were getting hungry and had great sandwiches. The woman who made our sandwiches did not speak any English, but with the help of Google Translate, we were able to make ourselves understood. It was a very friendly little place.
    Up to that point, it was an absolutely perfect day.
    We supposedly only had about 45 minutes of walking left to our night's lodging. We followed the signs, but that ended up taking us in a big loop. We tried Apple navigation and went in another loop. Google maps was sending us the same way. After 2 1/2 frustrating hours, we admitted our defeat and walked back to the friendly cafe, which, after all this time, we were again very close to.
    Kathy had typed out our predicament in Google Translate and asked if someone could give us a ride. The owner, a very nice man, agreed to. We offered to pay him, but he refused to accept anything.
    We were there within 10 minutes. We still can't figure out what we did wrong, but the woman who owns the place we are staying at said the trail had been changed.
    All the trouble, though, has pretty much been wiped away by the beautiful place we are staying. It has a pool, many beautiful flowers, windmills from 1820, and a wonderful room.
    The woman who owns it made us supper, a delicious soup and spaghetti.
    She has a very sad story, though. She is from Germany and bought this property along with her husband and two sons. Her two sons returned to Germany, and now her husband is in Germany going through chemotherapy. She is trying to keep things up all alone. Hopefully, she will get some help soon.
    We were able to see the sunset over the ocean, which is still at least a day or two away.
    My body made it through a 16 mile day, for which I am very thankful. All in all, it has been a very beautiful day.    Leer más

    7 de mayo, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Gradually I am really getting used to these albergues! I fell asleep early yesterday and woke up very fit at 5am today. Knowing that I have quite a distance ahead of me, I got up and started walking.

    Today was again a very monotoneous hike, 75% along a busy street and the remainder also all on concrete.

    And again, I was running into the masses of Fatima-pilgrims which I overtook one by one (took me at least two hours and with my break I did, I had them again in front of me 😅).

    I arrived early in my albergue, again a fantastic one! It has a beautiful terrace, some chill out areas and a nice kitchen. I had a really nice afternoon and evening here!    Leer más
