Laten we zeggen dat het een pittoresk hotel is :)

Day 1 of our Camino Portugues: from Porto (Igreja de Nogueira, in Maia) to Arcos. A total of 26,6 km, 35.718 steps, according to the iPhone health app. Very warm, and not so scenic for the most part, alas, but we have been promised that is going to change :)
3 september 2017 · Barcelos
26.660 stappen (of 18,5 kilometer) verder zijn we aangekomen in Barcelos op deze tweede dag van de Camino Portugues. Qua route veel mooier dan gisteren, ook minder langs doorgaande wegen, en wel zonnig maar niet superheet. Prima dag!

Yet another wonderful place to stay on our hiking tour to Santiago de Compostella. It is located in a small village, so there is not really that much choice to go for dinner: we are dependent on the food served here. Last time that did not work out very well, but we will see :)

Day 3: 26.196 steps and/or 17,6 km. From Barcelos to Balugaes. To be honest, a bit too short for us on such a day. Although we left a bit late from Barcelos we arrived quite early in Balugaes. Nevertheless a nice hike, the weather was cloudy but the temperature ideal for hiking. There is nothing to do in Balugaes and so it should be. Had a drink in a local bar, bought some daytime consumptions in a grocery (lucky we found one) and spent the rest of the afternoon lounging in the facilities of the hotel. Life is simple and good :)

Day 4 of the #caminoportugues. We left Balugães late today, in order not to arrive in Ponte de Lima too early. 27.928 steps, 19,7 km. A wonderful day, with beautiful weather most of the time: sunny, but not too warm. And definitely the most beautiful part of the route so far. A funfair is setting up today here, so we are lucky our hotel is on the other side of the river :)
6 september 2017 · Rubiaes, Viana Do Castelo, Portugal
Day 5 of the #caminoportugues. Very beautiful route and quite intense because it involved a lot of climbing. But I held up ok. 24.015 steps and 17 km.
7 september 2017 · Tui Centro
We arrived in Spain but our accomodation in Tui sucks, to be honest. Today's hike compensates a lot though. 32,847 steps, 23,2 km. in total.
8 september 2017 · Hotel Parque Porriño
Day 7 of our #caminoportugues. Happy to say that the route was extremely nice, also the weather was very good for hiking. The hotel we are staying at is anonymous, quiet, modern 20 years ago, and houses no other peregrinos. Love it! 27.1176 steps, 18,3 km.
9 september 2017 · Casa Rural As Chivas Pontevedra
Day 8 of the #caminoportugues. 28.992 steps and/or 19,9 kilometers. It surprises me I have no pain in my muscles at all, in contrast to last year. Today was the first day with some rain from time although never for a long period. We are staying in a "casa rural" with a restaurant with a good reputation. We will soon find out!
10 september 2017 · Parroquia Virgen del Camino
Slightly more than 20.000 steps (13,5 km.) is really too short for us on day 9. Next time we should plan the individual parts better (i.e. roughly 25 km. per day, depending on ascending/descending etc.). Approaching Santiago now: 3 more days to go.

I have had worse days 🙂 Today's hiking was nice although I am getting a bit tired of it, I guess that is mainly due to the fact that Santiago is not so far away anymore. Had we been on a one-month hiking tour I probably would not have felt this way (yet). The hotel we are staying at is more like some resort with a very nice pool, so all feels perfectly nice. Oh yes, 28.530 steps today (19,8 km.).
12 september 2017 · Hotel Scala
Checked in after a nice hike in a big, anonymous hotel. Love it. Weather today was moist but that was good for a change, and temperature wise ideal for hiking. After 11 days there is only one couple left that we meet somewhere along the route every day, the rest must have gone missing or has given up 😀. 29.944 steps, 20,1 km. Stiff and somewhat painful muscles for the first time. Luckily Santiago is very near now.

Van speeltuintjes zoals deze zijn we er denk ik meer dan 100 tegengekomen de afgelopen 12 (loop)dagen. Altijd bestaande uit de standaard schommel, glijbaan, en wipkip (of varianten zoals het wipvarken). Altijd op de meest afgelegen plaatsen, en op geen enkele heb ik een kind-in-actie gezien.
