Weather-wise the worst day so far - continuous rain at 13 degrees. Despite the umbrella, everything was clammy from midday. Nevertheless, I was able to get its very own magic from the weather, so that this last stage was also the most emotional. It was as if with every step on the Camino I felt the sorrow

By far the wettest day so far - it's good that I haven't sent away my hiking boots yet & bought an umbrella in Tui as a precaution. ☔️ The path through the forest reminded me of the Malaysian rainforest in the mountains - green and wet, moss everywhere. Met Jess (UK) during the lunch break and hiked

A beautiful and flat route through forests and along vineyards. I miss the delicious Portuguese natiños for breakfast, the croissants in Spain taste awful so far. Had my first blood sugar crash so far, but the wine gums helped. Had a real flow while walking at noon with music on your ears 🎧 In the afternoon

What a beautiful route today - despite the many meters of altitude! The muscles slowly get used to it, sometimes the backpack on the back even seems light.

Met old acquaintances along the way and took many lessons learned and perspectives with us. 🙇🏽‍♀️😌 In the evening with beer and wine in great company

This time quite a long stretch uphill, exhausting. 🥴 I liked the architecture and paths in Portugal much better so far. Stayed in Redondela because of the rain that set in and my foot was still slightly swollen, but we could have done a lot more km. Redondela is a pretty little town, there was a Corpus

At the beginning a beautiful route through an enchanted fairytale forest, mostly along the river. In the direction of O Porriño more and more industry and noisy streets, rather less beautiful. The only 4 hours of sleep last night are so hard on the bones that the route is very difficult and feels much longer.

Border crossing with Melina...what an experience 🥳💪🏼🇵🇹🇪🇸

Thank you and continue Bom Caminho!
