May 1 – Rates to Barcelos

It looks easy on the map until you walk it.

It is rocky and hilly with lots of ups and downs. We have lots of aches and pains for the 3rd of walking. But this is the Camino and pilgrimage suppose to be hard.

Most fields have vineyards at edge of every field. Some of the routes take us out of the roads.

It took another hour to find the hotel as google map doesn’t seem to work well.

So add another 2 km to the 15 for distance. Pretty sore. We will see how we manage tomorrow.

Many pilgrims send their bags forward but is another idea. We feel we have to carry our burdens but man it is difficult when you are 70.

Buen Camino
