Have you walked the Caminho from Lisboa?

[peregrina2000]

Several of us are going to make a short, unprofessional, informational video about the Caminho Portugues between Lisboa and Porto, the least travelled part of that Caminho.

If you have walked this stretch recently, and if you would be willing to record yourself on your phone or ipad answering a few questions (nothing more than about 5 minutes), and then email the results, that would be great. The answers will all be spliced together into a video that we hope will offer a broad perspective -- the good and the bad, highs and lows, etc.

If you are willing to help out, contact me via a Private Conversation or post here and I will contact you.

bom caminho, Laurie

Castanheira do Ribatejo!? Thats where I live

 

[peregrina2000]

Well, Diogo, you may be missing your chance to break into cinema, since you always start far from Lisboa.

Diogo - how curious indeed perhaps I ought to inaugurate "my" caminho by inviting you to be toasting together with some good caffe' if you happen to be available that day, around , suppose? - that'd be an auspicious and fun start, no? ....

What time will you arrive there?

Aren't you also staying in the Hotel where I work?

Penso Um aguardente podria ser melhor , pois não ?

Well, on that day, ring me to +351 936 966 222. At noon I'm usually at home, back from my day walk.

I haven't walked it yet, but I am at this very moment posting this from The Hotel do Chile after a delightful and helpful conversation with Diogo. Tomorrow is a walk around Lisbon and a final pack purge, setting out Friday. I would be happy to assist any way that I can.

Well, on that day, ring me to +351 936 966 222. At noon I'm usually at home, back from my day walk.

duly noted the number into my li'l orange book and walking papers ... (question though: 351 is the country code of portugal? wouldn't need to dial that one once I am in lisboa, no? i will bring my mobile with me, but like to buy a euro-SIM card that i could use over there)

that's awesome that we potentially could meet! a bottle of Veuve Clicquot might be more proper - but a bit much that early in the day. but who knows, maybe a sip of Vinho Verde will do just fine?! or fine caffe' is just marvelous as well.
Obrigado Diogo, e a presto ! (that's portuguese and italian combined)

If you use an international SIM card, yes you have to use the +351. If you have the portuguese one, you just have to use the rest of the number

The 25th and 26 April I will start my training for the Camino Primitivo (July), restarting the Portuguese Caminho of Santarem to Tomar.

After sending the movie to your email address.

A kiss and Bom Caminho.

Hi Trevor, hope you enjoyed your hospitalero time. I am leaving for Lisbon in a few days - a little less nervous now as I am meeting a fellow peregrina who is starting at the same time. Will be in the UK mid June - perhaps we can all get together again.
