July 8th we decided to take a day off. We'd walked 12.95 miles that day and decided we needed a day to recuperate. We booked a place for the 9th in the middle of town and we set for a day of relaxing.
My sleep the night before wasn't great, so was up about 6am. Most Pilgrims were packing or gone. John had been meditating, so we packed and were gone by 7am for coffee. Had long morning relaxing at coffee shop.
We wondered around town for a bit, then went to find internet. We wanted to plan next day and needed internet to do that. We found a hostel and hotel, made reservations at each with help from local coffee shop employee. We will be walking to Vila Praia de Ancora, about 12 miles. Decided that walking to Caminha, at 17 miles, was too far. We can adjust each day according to our bodies and do better.
Caminha has an albergue as does A Guarda, 6 miles and then 8 miles, so we have a few options.
We went to library for while, great internet and AC.
Wednesday, July 10th, is expected to be hot, so we are planning an early departure to beat the heat. 12 miles should take about 6 hours, depending on how many breaks we take.
This morning at coffee we met a family of 5 starting the Camino. The kids were about 2, 4, and 6. It was fun to see the excitement.
Another day down.
