Going for a long stroll

My wife Denyse and I have spent the past 31 days walking (Denyse) and cycling (me) from Lisbon, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. 2 of the 31 days were rest days. The route is called the Portuguese Camino.
Denyse carried her backpack and I had 2 panniers and a bar bag. Everything we needed, clothes, spare parts, etc., we carried. We each had three changes of clothes and washed our clothes each evening in a sink or shower.
Denyse has a fit bit and recorded 1,025,908 steps. That number was just while walking the Camino. My GPS says I cycled/walked/carried my bike 682 Kms and we had 10,500 meters of elevation change.
We are thankful for a safe trip and to have the health to be able to do this.

WoW!!!
Glad everything went well!!

Epic Trip!!!!

That's really neat Rod!! Did you pack a Model 5?

I can cover that much distance on my bike..."easily"! (So long as there are plenty of gas stations for my Harley!
Congratulations U2!

So happy for the two of you, brother! Is this only #2 for y’all, Rod or have you pedaled more as Dynse ran along side? I’m happy you’ve each been blessed with the good health to enjoy this wonderful excursion.

Thank you all for the comments.
Mike I did not pack any RMK. Reasons: weight and I did not want it to go missing on our airplane travels. I had a Swiss Army knife and a leather man. We carried what we thought was the absolute minimum.
Duke. This was Denyse’s 4th Camino and my second. We were not together every minute of the each day. I might go off and explore or take a more bike friendly route for a few Kms. When you have to start carrying your bike and panniers because of steps, ankle deep sand, hills too steep, elevators that don’t work or you can’t fit your bike into, etc., you try to save as much energy as possible. But we spent every night and ever meal together.
Denyse has a meniscus problem (likely a tear) so I was never too far from her, just in case.

Congratulations.

"The Camino" is on my list of things to hike.

Well done (multiple times!).

If you need any info on walking a Camino, give me a shout. I can help, but, Denyse will gladly talk your ear off about the whole package. If you let her, she may talk both your ears off!

Rod
very nice, I hope you can post a few photos of the scenery from your trip.
I also like your orange shirt

Take care
Peter

Rod and Denyse!
Very impressive, especially after your bout with Covid after Blade.
I followed some of your adventure on the Facebook posts.
Impressive!
Thanks for the update on the steps and distance covered.
Yesterday, Z and I drove through Colorado catching the Aspens turning and revisiting various properties we have owned over the last 40 years.
Wow, Colorado population has exploded and new construction seems to be up in every mountain valley and ridge line.
As the Navy Chaplain used to tell us
Good on You!
