[QUOTE="Jensjaunt, post: 1252368, member: 107943"] Day 6 to Viana do Castelo It’s interesting how rain and being all wrapped up in your poncho helps me be more reflective. This camino and doing it solo is giving me time and space for reflection for which I am grateful. Today is the first day off alternative and Senda Litoral routes and on the coastal route where trail markings, shells and advertisements of Albergue’s and cafes where seen today. I felt comforted by seeing the many trail signs, so reflected today about what gives me comfort in my life and why. I also saw a few more pilgrims but not the wave I saw leaving Porto. I saw maybe 20 pilgrims today? Was a bit sloppy on the trail during the forest but still passable, with my tricky knee I take my time and hiking poles a real must! With the rain the river was magnificent and no trouble crossing the rio Nieve. Highlights of the day - having the Igreja Santiago de Castelo do Neiva open so I could visit the first church in Portugal dedicated to StJames - joining my footsteps to others who have gone before! Another highlight was found around 1.5 km later - a roadside donativo with seating areas out of the rain offering fruit, hard boiled eggs still warm, a kettle for tea, coffee brewed, a cooler with juices, and more - all on the honour system. It appeared just when I needed a break. Was mystical seeing the Cathedral shrouded in mist on the hill as I came into town. See you on the trail! Jen [/QUOTE]
