Day 6 Golega to Tomar 30km

Mea culpa, mea culpa!!
The sequence of each day's blog posting has got mixed up. I was trying to insert the distance (48km) into the heading for Day 1 and 2 and then repost it, but it threw the sequence of each day and efforts to correct it made it worse. So, I'll leave it alone now.

Up at 6am and on the road by 7am. A lot of road walking but temperatures more bearable until mid afternoon, but we got to Tomar in good shape just after 3pm. It was Fleur's first walk into the 30 kms. We are staying in a lovely hostel, very clean and organised.


Statue in Golega!!


Some of us have experienced a touch of Montezuma's Revenge over the past few days. So we each had a brandy before going to bed last night.They were twice the size of a short in an Irish pub, but all three in total cost €3.60. Anyway, we all slept well last night - I'd put it down to the quiet street we were on!!! Tummies are good today.




Kieran and Mary on the trail.


Met an Italian lady and a Bulgarian man walking the Camino together today.




Quinta Cardiga ruins.



Most people walk the Camino Francais and some follow up with another, like the one we are doing here in Portugal. But other people get a bit sucked into it all and repeat them, five or six times perhaps. A fellow walker/pilgrim talking to us last night says she refers to these repeaters as the 'Camino tragics'!! That about sums it up.
