    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    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...

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    Day 5 to Antas After a day and night in wonderful Braga I took a cab back to Fao to rejoin the route. Seasides, sun, sand dunes and market gardens were along the path today. Walked the literal route - there are signs at the beach parking lots that mark your position, it’s interesting walking...

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    The weather forecast was accurate- so all geared up for rain! A bit less meandering today as the distance was longer around 22 and it was raining for most of the day! Lovely how the camino provides - I had a wonderful walking partner today which made the time fly by, and the coffee stop seemed...

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    Day 3 was another wonderful day spent along the coast. I planned a short day so I could meander and explore Vila do Conde which did not disappoint! The day included walking on boardwalks and some sand covered boardwalks ( slower going but not difficult) and cobblestone beach front paths. Not...

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    Yes! It’s different, or maybe I’m different? The cool sea breeze means starting at 9 is fine - no need to avoid the heat right now! I did bring a head light though🤪

    LIVE from the Camino Jensjaunt on the Portuguese Coastal

    What a wonderful day walking by the sea! My backpack felt good, my dry bag with poncho strategically clipped to the outside was handy! My first stop was in a bakery cafe near the mouth of the river. I watched the colourful poncho geared pilgrims pass by - I counted around 25 in 30 minutes...

    What to do during long layover in Dublin?

    Enjoy Dublin- here are two ideas - depending upon your tastes! In addition there is luggage storage at the airport in case you did not want to lug your backpack around! After my CF I flew back via Dublin and I really enjoyed the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology located on Kildare...
