Old brige Door in the middle of nowhere Another day, another dog. Finally going through a short forest Aljoša preparing breakfast on the second day Sun already went down, when we arrived. It was freezing cold. First stamp, the ones before were actually already printed and mark the start point. Doing a pilgrimage is a bit like being a Pokémon master, you have to catch stamps, at least 1, later even 2 per day, to get a diploma at the end. Usually they are found in stores, bars but from time to time, we found one in the open, by the road. This was our first stamp. First day, the majority of path lead us through the city, or suburbs. We rarely saw some open fields. And for some reason, all the roads were made of granite blocks, which fun at the beginning was quite tiring toward the end of the day. If we got a bit worried / scared at first, we kind of got used to these kind of greetings later on. There was also a fountain with drinkable water where we stopped. Some homemade ham(?) and cheese. First stop on the first day. At the beginning, we, (especially Jakob) had a lot of food from home. Crossroads for coastal and central path Crossroads for coastal and central path Crossroads for coastal and central path Street performers, doing a show during a red light. 0 km, 240 km to go. Getting lost right from the star. Interesting building desings in Porto. Not quite sure, how safe it is at the top. Aljoša told us, we actually worked (our department at JSI) on a program that helped put together mosaics on this building. Last photo, before walking to the start point. Last checkup on my gear in the hostel, on the morning of first stage. After landing in Porto, we took the metro to the city center. I have to knock on the wood, but I must say I'm quite lucky with these empy rows on planes. We took Ryanair, since we didn't had any stowed luggage, it was by far the cheapest option, if I remember correctly it was less than 70€ for return ticket. Me, Aljoša and Jakob, meeting at the airport. Luckily we had couple of sleeping bags at home, so I could pick up the right one, which required some extensive testing, nights before departure. Together with my parents, one last time.
