Wed 20th June 2012…. So much for a shorter day…..
Following England’s half hearted win at footie….we left at 8.30am and before long we found some amazing roads – lots of twisty narrow lanes through the mountains – excellent bike roads…. Then Gertie Garmin through a bit of a fit and we were all over the place and doubled back on ourselves more that once - the tracks will be very interesting to see later…. Again great roads and great riding….. Rui still feeling a bits sick and so were we when we discovered that he had started the trip with a nearly bald rear tyre.. bugger we thought…. Found the camp site near the beach – it was like Skegness on a winters day…. No-one about and the town all closed up – and it started to rain too – had a very sleepless night – worrying if the tent pegs would hold in the sand…..
Thu 21st June 2012 – a long day…
This morning started with Rui riding off to Seville - the quick way to find a tyre and David and I rode the route… and with the help of Gertie – not – it was another great day….. this time it was long sweeping bends and clear roads…. The scenery was fabulous with endless rows of olive trees (no humans though). We arrived at Seville at about 6.30pm and Rui arrived about an hour later… still no new tyre – will try again tomorrow… We are now sat in the bar (which closed at 9pm). We the company of a lady called Jackie and she has been on the road in a van for 6 weeks looking for wind surfer beaches…. Rui will take off early and try to get a tyre – while David and I will again ride the route to the South…..
