Day 9 on the Camino

Vila Nova do Cerveira to Tui Spain (9.3 mi)

My goodness, it seems so fast and yet it seems so long. Total miles today 12.6. Our day started at 9:00am. We are all very tired. Tomorrow is a free day to relax and recover.

It was a quiet, peaceful nature-filled walk. Beautiful. We had a song bird symphony as posted in the photo. It was so delightful. We followed the river—off the Camino for a bit. Very few Pilgrims, very few bikes, no traffic. Peace…with all of the noises that God intended. I thought I heard a couple of fish jump out of the water—or maybe it was my imagination.

Today we say goodbye to Portugal. It was a lovely experience. It exceeded all of my expectations. The people are so kind, the food was fabulous, the country is beautiful. I would love to come back on a different kind of journey. We walked across the bridge into Spain. So, pretty…over the river. And here we are—like that—in Spain.

We walked through a couple of very small towns. We ate lunch, then walked across the bridge into Spain.

Photos were limited…we are weary travelers today, very much ready for a break. Our body is begging for it.
