We knew the moment we stepped out of our door on this morning it was going to be ‘a day’. It was pouring rain and our shoes were pretty well soaked within the first 30 seconds of walking. Ugggh!

We had a quick breakfast at a café and then made a stop at the pharmacy for some bedbug bite relief. The itching and beginnings of infection were cause for some concern so we picked up some antihistamines and cortisone cream as recommended by the pharmacist.

A portion of our walk went along on trails through forested areas. It was very beautiful and a welcome change from the usual cobblestone path. The only problem was that with all the rain the trail was very muddy and at time rather slippery. I was especially grateful for my hiking poles this day!

We stopped into several beautiful churches to light candles and offer prayers for all the intentions back home and to admire the amazing architecture and ornamentations.

We were so tired by the time we made it to our accommodation for the night that none of us wanted to walk even far enough to find supper…we ended up order pizza to our room!
