Chris, retired teacher from Yorkshire left yesterday, his holiday over; Raymond, room-mate and retired engineer from Middlesbrough, left this morning, heading by train for Castelo Branco. He will be there today. Walking will take maybe 16 days and, all being well, will be the halfway point of the Caminho de Santiago from Tavira, starting Monday . . . and a few weeks house sitting nearby, before completing the route in March. Maybe.
Johannes and Inge, volunteers from the Association of Friends of the Caminho of Eastern Portugal, came to the hostel this morning with lots of information and pilgrim credentials. Yves, retired railway manager from Lyon, France, joined us . . . aiming to do the route on his folding bike.
Starting to feel like Spring, so good timing to be moving north. The legs are rested and ready to go.
