There's just one - no two things - I need in the morning to - well you know - get the constitution going for the day . A cup o' tea and the Racing Post ! Forget the RP over here so it's all down to the tea . I always carry , wherever I go , my portable kettle, especially on ' la continent ' where you never get any in room facilities . Anyway , the bloody thing blew up ! Sparks flying , water everywhere . I did manage though , to save the hotel but not their lighting system !
Let's get last night meal out of the way . I started with a sort've soup with spaghetti in it - very tasty -( giving beans a wide berth ) followed by ox-tail stew ( delicious ) and apple pie ( but not what we know it as , Jim ). Bottle wine - 10€.
Room - with a view of the A10 - 20€ . A few beers on top -
35€.
Today's ride was the most varied . Started of in wet mist - turned sweltering in afternoon - boring along A10 ( thank god it was Sunday ) but turn off after an hour to the most lovely countryside with quaint villages . Then round a lake - or a reservoir - where I had my picknic and a nap - climbed to a height of 1400 meters and cycled down next to a fast flowing river ! I think the area is a National Park - Sierra de la Demanda or something - but it was good. CU x
