Back to Bordeaux after leaving our lovely Saint-Émilion haven. Haircuts and a cheap hotel before we headed to Paris and visited a wonderful Monet exhibition.
Saint-Émilion is a beautiful Unesco world heritage village and we are enjoying a lovely relaxing 4 days here. It’s all very pretty and the temperatures have been great.
After Porto we flew to Bordeaux for a couple of days. It was warm but wet. We really enjoyed the wine experience at the wine museum – learned lots about the region.
Our final day take 2, we took a bus to where we stopped walking yesterday and then walked in Santiago de Compostela to finish our Camino Portuguese. What a day! mixed emotions and Aperol to celebrate.
With 25.6km to walk we made the call to stop shy of Santiago and split our final day into two. Here is part one, a hot, steep uphill climb day, mostly by the road.
Hurricane Gabrielle made it’s presence felt today with the rain. We enjoyed a nice walk in the countryside and are finding we’re coping much better this week.
