We had a pretty good night’s sleep once it finally cooled off and the noise of the street settled down a bit. Though there were a couple of party goers than were shouting on what I presume was their way home at 4:30 am. 😂

The walk out of Porto seems endless. But we are having fun and laughing as we go. More about this later.

On these first three days we decided to send our packs ahead because of the distances we are doing. This is a personal decision that everyone has to make on their own. You know your body, listen to it.

We stopped and had a nice picnic after 12 kms. Don’t worry that wasn’t our first stop. And we plan several short stops rather than long stops. Again listen to your body.

Well we made it to our albergue for the night Casa da Laura. It’s a beautiful place with a large garden for relaxing. We have bought our provisions for tomorrow.

Now back to today’s walk. Today was a difficult walking day for us. We chose to walk the central route instead of the coastal. We won’t do that again out of Porto. It is clear why most people take the coastal out of Porto. We walked on pavement and cobblestones all day and were thwarted by traffic. Lesson learned.

One thing I forgot to mention is the moon. At 3 am I woke to it shining through the window and it was a beautiful site. There was a cool breeze coming through the window…I didn’t mind being awakened to that site.

I hope your day is awesome and includes some adventure!! Buen Camino! Bom Caminho!
