It was another walk today, both coastal and inland around the village of Rogil and again stunning scenery.

We are working our way up the west coast of Portugal through a natural park region and following a 230km trail called the Rota Vicentina .

Our last stop in the Algarve is Odeceixe where there is both a walk and a beach that's in the top 10 of the Algarve, so that’s tomorrow’s walk before we move on to the Alentejo region.

It has to be said that we felt extremely minging on arrival at the campsite after 3 days of wild camping and hiking, the first stop was most definitely the showers. There weren’t any washing machines at the campsite but the staff did the washing for you, oh dear I’m sure they weren’t overly keen on our sweat soaked washing, but it’s back clean and dry with no comment or extra charge!!

The walk today was 17km and both our feet and our bodies are complaining at us, but it was worth the pain. Although not a circular walk once we’d finished the fishermans walk we then joined the historical trail which took us along the flood channel back to town. The scenery was stunning again and each walk so far has been slightly different. Today we saw Storks, frogs jumping into the flood channel to get away from us and Penny saw the back end of a snake.

The start of our day was delayed by 20 mins as when Mark went to the camp shop for his fresh bread they literally had to cook it for him, well we are the only people staying on the campsite.

I don’t think we’ve mentioned our negative attraction. It doesn’t matter what aire we park at, whoever we park next to soon clears off, generally it has been French vans but that isn’t always the case.
