Breakfast was provided at Minho at Home. It included a good selection: yogurt with figs and granola, a choice of fresh fruit, croissants, rolls, cheese, ham and scrambled eggs were offered. We chatted with our host and another guest, from Taiwan.
It was another misty start. We wended our way back towards the coast. We had a coffee stop then received an update from Susan. She was taking an Uber to meet us along the way, and walk together for a while; the Uber would then take Steve and their luggage to Viana do Castelo. After some online discussion and use of Glympse we achieved the rendez-vous at a cafe, a short distance before the bridge into Viana do Castelo. It was good to see Susan, and wave to Steve!
The day continued misty and drizzly. The walk over the bridge seemed to go on for ever, with a narrow pedestrian walkway and constant traffic. We headed for a cafe, again due to a positive review. The meal was fine, but it was oversold and not good value. Still, we were rested and nourished. The drizzle had turned into persistent light rain. My poncho was in the suitcase so when we popped into a small outdoor clothing shop 'just to look' I bought a lightweight waterproof jacket. It was bright orange so it was also useful protection near traffic, or for spotting me from a distance! A think that Viana do Castelo would be a good place to re-visit on a brighter day.
We walked on to our accommodation: a duplex on the edge of town, with a kitchenette. It was reasonable, the only disadvantage was the steep stairs down from the bed to the bathroom.
