Good day yesterday. Covered a good few k's, in lovely conditions. Clear sunny sky. Slight bit breezy for the start. After leaving the cathedral about 0900, we came to some roadwork, asked policeman for directions. Bum steer. We lost the arrows. Asked at a police station who could not believe this pair were walking to Fatima. They did not know other than direct us to Naçoes bridge. Picked the path up again there. Very industrial first part of walk. But nice around the 1998 expo site. Later turned inland along a river/canal. Not well marked so we were always wondering if we had lost the way again. A farmer said we were OK. Ended up at a small town Granja. Had a few beers, consulted Madam Google and organized a hotel and taxi to Santa Iria. Had dinner at a well populated small local restaurant. We catch a taxi back to Granja this morning. Feet and body good, but sleeping pattern is very poor. Heading to Vila Franca de Xira today.
