Soooo....as I said...I had a blister healing, plus walked 27klms in one day....so was I ever excited to hear about this Amazing Hostel not many kilometres north of where we were for 2 days In Vienna de Castello.

Eva, Metya and I decided to book in there for a night and see what all the stir was about...we also picked up Darby from Tennessee that morning and the 3 ladies had coffee (and one of those delicious little custard tarts ) and began walking together. Metya left early, as he was not into walking in the sun much...and got there way ahead of us and got me a bottom bunk...Yay❣️

When we arrived..WOW...we were impressed..it was an 1800’s stone church that had been redone leaving most of what was there and adding new touches...like a kitchen to LIVE FOR and sturdy comfy beds with comforters and fluffy pillows!

Have a look on the Air bnb Site for some amazing pictures there. The beach was beautiful too..as was the trip we made to the Lighthouse. Stunning views from the top and a lovely Lighthouse keeper who gave us a tour even though it was NOT TOUR DAY

There were a couple of horses...sheep...dogs and just a really cozy VIBE so we decided right away..on another night. Cooking in the kitchen there was such a lovely experience and it was just so CHILL...honour system for beer and wine..free delish coffee!

The icing on the cake was when Eva and I decided...ONE MORE NIGHT...and a day at the beautiful beach would be just what my sore back and foot needed...HOT SAND THERAPY!

We came to hear an amazing chef from Amsterdam announce tha5 he was cooking on our last night...and was on his way to shop. Who was interested in EATING??? PICK MEEEE❣️10 of us pitched in on a Fabulous dinner which included Bruschetta, Roasted Aubergine and Courgettes..sautéed mushrooms, onions and garlic, BBQ PORK, Couscous (done with raisins and capers) chocolate cake and lots of vino...total cost per person...8€
Sooo delish...of course we all chipped in to chop and prep and also clean up... but it was an EPIC night...Sooo Blessed❣️
