Lots to catch up on. Part 2

 So, the next day the weather started to improve- hurrah!! and so i had a quiet day pottering around and then set off for Finisterre- yet more stunning scenery but this time with the sun peeking through. Arrived to find a nice little town with proper harbour and a little castle( which is now a fishing museum) and this little beach which is the true end of the Camino. The pilgrims come here and tradition is that they either burn or wash their socks on this beach. (They used a different one in The Way - this is the real one). So after that my Camino route was over - wheer to next I hear you ask.

Well, for those of you who have been paying attention you will know that the plan was to head down into Portugal to vist Tomar - a small town abot 150k's north of Lisbon so off I set.
Except that there appeared to be lots of nice places before there so I have been pottering along, stopping where I felt like it and have seen some lovely old towns, driven along the Douro river- stunning!- been up and over mountains heavy with vineyards and watched the men harvest the grapes the old fashioned way, transporting them in barrels on the back of tractors, been to one of the oldest university towns where the students still wear black cloaks and berets.Been on a date for coffee and port, got a great haircut for 10e and am now on the coast enjoying wonderful unseasonal weather-  I tell you its been a geat week.

so tomorrow will set off back on the sightseeing - heading for Tomar but stopping at a couple of small towns that have unesco world heritage sights both monasteries - but said to be stunning, and you know me- I'll be letting you know.

So, bye for now. See you soon
