This morning started brighter but the wind from the sea was cool. We stopped at a delightful coffee shack where we had some warming coffee. I also had a snack (breaded fish!) and added some clothes. We were joined by several South Koreans who criss crossed along the path with us throughout the morning.
The day warmed up and the walk was lovely, on a mixture of boardwalks and woodland tracks than ran parallel to the coast. We also saw a few forts.
We had news that Susan would be walking with us so we headed to the road to meet up. My bright orange jacket helped her to spot us! We went on to Vila Praia de Ancora, a lovely seaside resort. Some of the restaurants were closed, as it was Sunday, but we found a popular restaurant in the square and enjoyed a lunch of salad and Pizza, along with a cold beer. From there, Susan continued to her next stop, in Caminha. We walked a short distance to our accomodation, Casa Ribeiro. We had a nice room in a quiet residential area. Most of the other residents were German.
We had some energy left for a stroll, so we headed to the beach. I fulfilled my wish for a paddle but the Atlantic waves took me by surprise and I got more than my feet wet!
We promenaded with the locals, enjoyed a glass of wine and chatted with a couple who live in Spain, though he was originally from Holland. We returned to the square where we'd had lunch to enjoy coffee and crepes to round off our day.
