July 4, First Hiking Day

First hike day started about 7am.  Up, dressed, repacked and headed to breakfast.  Nice coffee with milk and a croissant. We hit the road from cafe at 8am. 

Cathedral was starting point of Camino.  Beautiful old structures in Porto.  Hiked along river to Foz do Douro where it opened up to the ocean.  From there we hiked on walkways parallel to the beach.  Took a short break to rest feet and adjust pack.

Got a snack and cool drink a little while later, very refreshing.  Continued on to Matosinhos, where we decided we get a room. 

It's about 1:30 pm and we did roughly 8.0 miles from cathedral. Not many miles for a day, but knowing I over did it last time and messed up my feet, we're starting slow.

I am noticing left shoulder issue.  Pinched nerve or something.  Feet a little sore.

Hostel is nice, private bath and AC.  Took showers went to store.  Slow relaxing day.
