Camino passports stamped at Lisbon Cathedral and we are off. Met up with a couple of Americans, Shelly and Dan, after a few hundred yards and we were together then for the morning. Hunting for the yellow and blue signs was quite taxing but eventually got as far as the marina at Oriente for lunch. The afternoon took us on a river walk that seemed unending in the heat but rewarded by the colourful display of wild flowers along the path. Arrived just about done in at the Albergue at Alpriate around 7:30. After collapsing in a heap and then a shower we were able to find the local cafe for a meal. Very basic accommodation at the Albergue , which for €8 is to be expected. One dorm with 12 beds. 1 shower. Good nights sleep though.
