Today was Madiera to Porto, a long 22 miles of cobbled street and pavement. We expected this so we left early and just punched it out in 6.5 hours.
Apart from aching at the bottoms, my feet are now great, and I hope they stay that way.

one thing one has to learn, is not to sit on the ground with Leonard on your back, it makes for a whole new set of problems when trying to get back up.

We had all four seasons today, and when the rain hit, I broke my broken umbrella. That was sad as I had grown attached to it.

 Coming into Porto we crossed the river bridge and headed for the cathedral which was today's end. Here we can get new credentials and get them stamped before moving on to the coastel route in two days. Going to rest up and see the city tomorrow, maybe have some nice fresh sea food

we are staying in the old town area which is in the bottom photo, in a hostel, eight per room but its clean, and I can get out of my boots
