'Measuring is knowing'
It's a Dutch saying and holds some truth all though both 'knowing' and 'truth' are contested concepts 🙂
In any case we thought it would be good to share some numbers about our Caminho do Dão. Tomorrow is the last day of walking and it will be a 'shorty', only 12 km. We want to give ourselves a little pat on the back and show off our accomplishments here on the website 🙂 It has been such a good experience all over and besides a few phpt's (pain here pain there) the hiking itself went smooth for two people who don't hike such distances with a backpack and for a few days in a row. Happy to know we are in a good enough shape still!
