Following the railway today, long flat runs some very rural others along busy roads with traffic speeding past both ways. Stopped for lunch at Vila Nova de Rainha and bumped into Shelly and Dan at the same cafe. Continued with them then for the last 7km to Azambuja.
Made very welcome at the Albergue. The Town is being boarded all along the Main Street in preparation for the running of the bull this coming weekend. We shall be long gone by then but I bet the place will be heaving with people so I’m glad we are here a few days before. Carlos who is one of the volunteers at the Albergue and was one of its founders here some 15 years ago, directed us to his church so after a shower, a cup of tea and washing our clothes we went for a visit. Very nice with Medieval tiles and gold leaf everywhere.
After a time of peace and quiet we found a restaurant that did a special Camino menu for our evening meal.
Stork nesting in Azambuja.
The Way 
It is great to follow you both on your route, I love the peace of the small churches and I am sure you both feel this every day , bless you both and keep it up .
