Tui to O Porrino 18km

Today was Brian’s first official day on the Camino so set off from his hostel after saying goodbye to Robin and Dave.

The weather was a little cooler today and the walk wound its way through old streets and beautiful forests. We opted to avoid an industrial area which added about 1km to our day. We came across the local police on our way encouraging safe travel and providing stamps for our Camino credential. 

We arrived in O Porrino before check in time so grabbed a bite to eat on the way to our hostel. We met Krum from Bulgaria and his awesome son Alex, who is only 11, who are riding to SDC.  Krum wrote a book about circumnavigating Iceland by bike in 14 days. Unfortunately, it’s not in English but for anyone who can read Bulgarian, I’m sure it’s a great read!

All in all, a successful day on the Camino!
