  An update. I arrived in Lisbon broken. Lot of mental stress buildup from other things and that crashed me. I visited a friend in Toulouse for the weekend and then flew direct to Porto. Spent 3 days there, just as well as it prepared my calves for...

  The flight from NZ has taken its toll. 29 hours. I have booked in an extra day in Lisbon to recover. I have to decide whether it is going to be an all out walk or to balance it with some relaxation. Something I really need. Do I really need to...

  This was a rather last minute arrangement. About 3 weeks ago I saw a window in my life to get some time to myself and booked a flight to Lisbon from Christchurch New Zealand. I'm spending 36 days away from home. I feel I have lost my way over...
