Thursday 23rd of August 2012,
Today is cooler and a bit fresh first thing in the morning, have booked a hostel in a small town up the coast call Casais do Julio, apparently near a popular surf beach. Some 28km today of up and down country side slow me a bit, but make the town by lunch time. Accommodation is more like a youth hostel, but have my own room, though communal showers, etc. I'm told its impossible to get accom here in the holiday season, so I am very lucky.
