Glad to hear your first day went well and Bom Caminho to you!

Your updates are really relatable as they capture your thoughts, the other human connections and the scenery - and we can enjoy it all vicariously - without the hard work!

As we plan our move into retirement, some form of through hike is definitely on the cards, so this is really inspiring.

Safe and happy hiking Jason :)

Thank you for the great information! My best friend (she will have just retired, too) and I will begin our walk in late April/early May, 2025 and I came across your blog right after I booked our reservation at what looks like the exact same apartment (480). We are also walking the Senda Litoral way and after day two will switch to the Coastal way. I read that there is a tram (#1) from the Cathedral to Passeio Alegre that will cut off 3.7 miles, but unsure if we will take it. Was walking along the Douro River nice? I look forward to reading the rest of your Camino blog!

*Edit: I think you stayed at Smiling Faces, not 480 Apartamento, where we are booked. Unfortunately, Smiling Faces didn't have any rooms for our night in Laburge.
