Dee set the tone for the day by spotting the Camino marker that directed us on our path.
We strolled the seaside on wooden boardwalks for miles and miles and miles. The scenery was spectacular and we soon met fellow pilgrims from Holland and Germany. We were giddy with excitement, ready for a 15 mile challenge...
We noticed lovely lounge chairs placed in scenic locations and couldn't resist giving them a try.
We estimated that we were halfway through our hike, so we stopped to celebrate our progress and have lunch. Little did we know that what we were told would be a 15 mile day was actually much longer.
We are now sitting on our hotel balcony resting our very weary feet and planning to eat a big dinner. Hey! We worked off the calories! Tomorrow will be another high mileage day, so we had better carbo-load and get some sleep.
Keeping Count:
Camino bracelets handed out to fellow pilgrims- 3

This is one link of two record breaking watches released this year (the other being link the new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT, which is the world's thinnest selfwinding chronograph) and as with all new records, it raises the question of when and if it's going to be broken. That link Citizen now has bragging rights for indisputably the most accurate wristwatch ever made, doesn't necessarily mean no one else will attack that record.
Wow wow wow!!! You all are AWESOME! That is a long first day but obviously you are prepared and ready to take on any challenge - even if it's a bit of a surprise! Very inspiring! xoxo!
Wow! Almost 18 miles on your first day! Crazy great accomplishment. It shows your top notch conditioning! I hope you had a delicious dinner and restful sleep.😄
Woohoo! Let the Camino begin! Great eyes Dee! Lovely lounge area, so considerate. Lanny Brown, a BUSD classmate/friend of mine, and his wife Kelly live in Pedreiras, Leiria, 🇵🇹
