[QUOTE="DenWhite, post: 1252369, member: 67567"] Day 7 Ponte de Lima to Rubias 20ks. Firstly an explanation. My stage distances are calculated from point of accommodation to point of accommodation. In most instances the stages are longer on average than guide books. Next, this stage has been a mixture of the sublime to the atrocious, with the atrocious being the last 3 hours from the ascent to Alto da Portela Grande de Labruja, 360mt's in 4.2ks then the decent into Rubias in pouring rain with cold wind. The ground is that wet from rain over the past week or more that sections of the path are either flooded or awash. So to put all of this in context from a photo story, it will be in 3 sections as: Departing Ponte de Lima. The expectation of what this city has to offer for a photo nut was lived up to.[ATTACH type="full"]169371[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]169372[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]169373[/ATTACH] Just a small sample as restricted to 10 photos for the post. Landscapes: Magnificent.[ATTACH type="full"]169374[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]169375[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]169377[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]169378[/ATTACH] And last but not least, as the Irish would say 'when things turn to shite'.[ATTACH type="full"]169379[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]169380[/ATTACH] Courtesy of Ngaire my wife. [ATTACH type="full"]169381[/ATTACH] The good news is the terrain is more friendly tomorrow. The bad news is the rain will be heavier than today. The consolation is we have a rest night at Valenca, our next stop and last in 🇵🇹 Portugal. Footnote: We shared today's experience with part of the pilgram community we have been a part of over the past 7 days. All managed to over come the adversity in good spirits but of course it's only natural that someone's tolerance level was tested. I own up to that. PS, it's my Camino! [/QUOTE]
