So we arrived in Lisbon with TAAG, the airlines from Angola. Their business model is simply to provide good value for money with no extra frills. We enjoyed our two flights and will make use of them again. (I would like to compare the legroom of the 777 we flew with, with other airlines. We were really comfortable!)
Once in Lisbon we got our first stamp at the St Antonio church and set off to Alverca do Ribatejo. We planned to take the train for this first stage - time constraints and to get out of the busy city.
We arrived at Vila Franca to be met by the running of the bulls. This sport saddens me. The bulls are not hurt, but they are tormented until they are too tired to run.
When we later walked through the town, the arena reminded me of the Christians in 250 AD on which bulls like these were let loose on. For them there was no place to hide.
So tomorrow, hopefully by 08:00 the walk will start with a 20 km stretch to Azambuja. Today we enjoyed and relaxed. Tomorrow is a new day.
Ultreia!
