Monday 6th of August 2012,
Up early and out and about before dawn, lots of street lights to light my way, near 30kms to cover today ... heading to Porto do Tejo.  I am walking to old main road, which unfortunately for part of the journey runs almost parallel to the very busy and noisy freeway. Well it wasn't as bad as I had expected ... I guess after several days in a large city, my ears had acclimatised to the noise.
Well about half way along branched away from the freeway and it was again basically quiet, apart from the occasional vehicle and the rustle of the grass and the wind in the trees .... notices there is very little if any bird life here. It is unusually cool this morning ... starting out its only about 10C, brrrrr but reache a comfortable mid to high 20's by mid afternoon
Got to Porto do Tejo for lunch and then settled in for my siesta (needed it today), diner then bed for the night.
