Wednesday, May 29, 2024 – Tui to Porriño

I sacked in this morning and did not get out on the Way until 7:30.

A shot of the Tui Cathedral on the way out of town.

It was a little chilly this morning but it didn’t take long for the sun to chase away the chill.

Here comes the Sun and I say, it’s alright. I sing this Beatles song every morning and I sing it extra loud when it is raining.

This is Sean from Ireland. He is a writer and an all around great guy. I have been walking with him on and off for the entire Central Portuguese Camino. I thought I have been losing weight. Where did that beer gut come from. I usually suck it in before anybody takes my picture. I need to dial back on the Radler and the pulpo.

These two guys were playing their bagpipes on the side of the Camino. Perfect music for a stroll along a woodland path.

This is a warning sign for a speed bump. There is a crosswalk at the speed bump. You would think that the speed bumps would do a good job of convincing people to slow down. People drive like they are in a Formula 1 race between the speed bumps and then hit the brakes for the speed bumps.

I was hungry and googled good restaurants and this one came up on Google.

Burgers and beer all served up by a woman named Fran. Perfect.

I quickly found out that Fran is not a woman. This is Fran and his magic cup that made my one euro coins disappear.

Fran’s place is strictly a hangout for locals. When Fran saw me and my backpack he knew he had a new audience for his magic tricks. Every time I ordered a Radler Fran would bring out an appetizer, on the house, and show me a new magic trick. I finally ordered the Fran burger and boy was it good.
