news and pics from my travels: Week 1

Highlights so far, leaving lisbon on the ferry with 2 months riding ahead of me, a feeling of adventure as each day is quite unpredictable especially when I dont know where I will sleep each night, Camping by the river and sleeping to the sound of cowbell in the small rural town of Odeceixe, drinking a Sagres in Sagres, Enjoying the comforts of the couch and some good company on a rest day, The delicious taste of Piri piri sardines, a half loaf of bread, a bottle of mayo and a beer after a long day on the road, Mamas pancakes in Lagos, Riding in the deserted national parks of Portugal, Crossing the border by boat, Starting the day early at 6 am riding into the rising sun and racing towards Sevilla!!!! Lows include, The 60 euro fine the spanish police gave me for being on a motorway, bottle of fuel bursting and ruining all my stuff and leaving me with no dinner, Getting lost quite a lot, Campsites.
