- mochilaverde replied to the thread Lightweight cooking Pot or Cup?.
  
  I carried a microwaveable tupperware container - good for microwaving ramen, for takeaway leftovers or just for carrying tomatoes without squishing them.

  I'm a little weird about being able to make coffee while on the road. I sometimes think it has more to do about me feeling 'autonomous' (however illusionairy) then the coffee, to be honest. Anyway, so I carry a Jetboil stove, have to go through...

  Two thoughts: You have a long travel day to get from Lisbon, what about staying two nights in Barcelos and starting from there? Barcelos is a larger town and interesting to explore. what about walking on the Coastal route for a day from Vila do...

  There are a couple of other albergues in Vilharinho - maybe take a wander around town and see if there is anyone at the other albergues? (or anyone with packs at a cafe?) Quite a few people do the first stretch out of Porto on the coastal route...

- mochilaverde replied to the thread Blister-friendly sandals, and Sandal-friendly terrain on the Francigena.
  
  Another vote to try on some different sandals (and doing a long test walk if you can borrow some from a friend with similar-sized feet). Look for a sandal with adjustable straps at the ball of the foot, the front of the ankle and at the heel...
