The Rain in Spain







Today was a nice sunny day, but it’s clouding over. Rain tomorrow, so guess it’s not staying mainly on the plain in Spain.

There was lots more infrastructure today. In fact. By 1030 we had already stopped for a 2 coffees and fresh orange juice at 3 little cafes. Then, there was the lunch stop in Valenca, and we walked across bridge into Spain. So nice to be back. 

To celebrate we are staying in the Paradore. It’s rather nice,  with thick stone walls and fluffy towels. However, dinner not  available here till 8 pm so we’ll walk into town before I think. 

Lots more uphill, but I retired Mavis. She was a bit of a stick in the mud. 😀

Kept  a couple of Older German guys we’ve seen for a few days, but that’s it for pilgrims.

There were a few miles of odd round rocks on paths, it seemed like someone had just dumped them off the back of their truck. We were not impressed,

Peter seems to have vanished to the hotel bar, or walked back to a strange Irish  bar we passed on the way way here.

We’re a little tired today, only 6 more days to Santiago!

He’s back to report things are closed for siesta time. That seems like a good idea😴

Porto Reporto

 Well we made it. Don’t have a lot of news, so just going to give my impression of things so far. It’s fairly easy to fly to Europe now.  Flights were very full and everyone wearing n95 masks.  If you are going to Germany be careful, the PCR  test must be  48 hours not 72 hours before. We were in transit in Frankfurt  so no problem,  but if you are just flying to Germany be careful.   On arrival in Portugal we had a random vaccine card check and you also need to fill in a passenger locator form on line. They asked for it in both SFO and Porto. Our seat mate was a lovely Iranian  woman who hadn’t been back  home for  5 years . She was very excited and still had another long flight after we all departed in Frankfurt. We were all one row behind business class. So yes we did the walk of shame past those lay down seats in business and watched them get their damn champagne. They ran out of  good  food choices for us,  ...

Porto the return

 We arrived back in Porto on what I like to call the Flix bus COVID express. Very bad masking and hot packed bus. That was last night. We did our COVID tests today. Negative  so far- so we can fly back. If COVID does  appear at least we will be back in the States.  Have a nice apt here for a few nights where all the action is near the station. We are all packed up off to airport early in morning. Sigh. Tons of group tours  here, lots of people traveling. It’s a whole other world out here! So glad we came!
