After yesterday's longer than expected ramble inland, a quiet day, beaches, reading, writing, cooking and resting ready for tomorrow's 22km . . . the sea still wild, the wind deterring a swim . . . Birte back to Lisbon on the morning bus, for an exam this afternoon . . . which is cutting it fine, but she was relaxed about it . . .
Musing about running a pilgrim hostel, a recurring thought since the Camino and Portugal seems a good place to try, with the old Portuguese Way starting at Fatima maybe next for a walk . . . the new route in the East starting in Tavira also wants exploring . . . and the Algarve Way, an inland route . . . Helpx opportunities too . . .
Hey Steve! I came back to Aljezur after a not-very-good experience in Tavira!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are fine. If you will run a pilgrim Hostel, remember about us volunteers :P
Cheers!

. . . what happened in Tavira, Dana? I stayed 3 days at the Pousada de Juventude there and liked the town best of all the coastal Algarve (except maybe Sagres) . . . yes, these new walking routes in Portugal want pilgrim hostels and hosts too . . . please say hello from me to the Aljezur crew, it was a special time . . .
