[QUOTE="jungleboy, post: 870409, member: 77691"] [B]Day 3: Vila Franca de Xira to Azambuja (~20km)[/B] We were prepared for an uninspiring stage today based on what we had read, and that turned out to be true. There was a lot of road walking and industrial sections, more so than the first two days, and not much of interest at all. But we were feeling less sore and more energetic than yesterday so we walked in good spirits and we feel lucky and blessed to be on this camino given the events of this year. At the junction entering Vala do Carregado, we took a right (the camino turns left) and did a six-minute detour to a shaded area with benches on the river (called Parque de Merendas on Google Maps). On a day like this with no other real highlights (except for the tomato patch soon after!), it was well worth it. [SPOILER="River and Trees at Parque de Merendas"][ATTACH type="full" alt="5D27C3BC-0304-4392-8ABF-FD4CD3CF01FB.jpeg"]82269[/ATTACH][/SPOILER] [SPOILER="Tomato Patch!"][ATTACH type="full" alt="F4813B74-ADD6-4965-821F-86CFCF6EBEE9.jpeg"]82270[/ATTACH][/SPOILER] [B]The albergue in Azambuja is closed[/B]. We are staying at Casa da Rainha which is a lovely place and we got a €7 genius discount on Booking.com, so we’re paying €38. Weather-wise, it’s starting to heat up. We were lucky on our long first day that the maximum temperature was 27 degrees Celsius. But by the time we got to Azambuja today it was 35 degrees (38 now). It is supposed to hit 37 in each of the next three days but we have short stages planned for two of them and will leave early to arrive at around lunchtime and avoid walking during the hottest part of the day at around 4pm.
