The Portuguese is a little shorter than the French way.

So it's about 110 kilometers.

So each day you're talking 20, 22, 23 kilometers, depending on the day and where the hotels are and stuff.

So there's a lot of work in it.

But unlike walking at home where you might go for a walk over here when you're on the Camino, it's much more chilled.

It's much more relaxed.

You stop for coffee whenever you want.

You stop to enjoy and appreciate things whenever you want.

And there's no major time pressure.

So it's a lot slower than walking at home.

But that quantity of time when your feet can prove challenging for people.

And we had two days of rain at the start and three days of glorious sunshine.

And when the sunshine came, feet started to swell over the course of the day.

Hence the blisters.

But it's a great adventure.

It's a great crack.

Although there's nothing it doesn't do.

I think sometimes when we think of exercise, we look for the complicated, the new, the difficult, the expensive.

Walking is the elixir of health.

It's something we've always done.
