Salema to Lagos

We got an early start because the day's walk was long and unknown. Previous reports of an easy walk were a bit misleading because we still plenty of valleys to climb and descent. After about two hours we came to a stream that required us to cross on a pile of stones. I took my pack across first, then helped Gramie and then went back for her pack. This was also the first day of carrying our full packs because I wasn't able to arrange for their transfers.

At noon we stopped at a restaurant for a full breakfast because our hotel provided only a bit of food. After eating we climbed a big hill and kept going on to Luz Beach. After that the terrain became easier but we we very tired on arrival at our hotel in Lagos. Then we were accommodated at another hotel because of another clerical error. That's three times on this trip.

Sagres to Salema

This was the first day after the end of the arranged tour. That meant being responsible for booking a room and luggage transfers. The paths were well marked and the scenery was excellent. I know the scenery is pretty much like the last several days but we're not tired of it. The previous reports were accurate as the numerous valleys made for many ups and downs along the trail. By the time we arrived in Salema, we were tired.

Then booking a flight home was frustrating because the airline computer had difficulty accepting my credit card. After the third card the flight was booked. Very frustrating.

Vila do Bispo to Sagres

This was a short and pleasant walk, mostly along trails through the woods. We knew that we would get to the cape so we asked the tour company for advice. They suggested accepting the transfer service to avoid walking along a busy road. We rode into Sagres with a couple of guys from Germany who were staying at the same hotel.

After booking in we took a walk around a point of land to check out the terrain. 

The cape was a very busy place.
