The epilogue

I'm a day or two behind on this but we were crashed out on the beach Saturday and had to take Chris and Sue to Gerona airport yesterday . Nic and I have got another couple of weeks down here but for Chris It's back home and back to work ! Poor bugger !
Mind you he's got a lot to answer for . Rightly or wrongly I left all the details of map planning and routes to him - and he did them really well - that's if one wanted to go that way !
It was certainly a more gruelling trek than last year when I skirted the Pyrenees through Soria and Zarigoza towards Barcelona . But it was all very exciting . Just don't ask me to go that way again !
And then there was the time element . 9 days - not quite enough . Then we seemed to cycle a lot more miles than we originally envisaged - but hey-ho - we made it .
Funniest time ? Well - for me ( not Chris ) was watching him 'wobble' off the road after his blow out on the first day. I suppose it could have ended up him killing himself - but as he didn't - it was funny . I just wish Chris saw the funny side of this !
Frais was Chris's favourite funny moment .Two macho men -like what we are - stuck for the night in gay town ! Priceless !
Best accommodation ? For me Senorio de Las Vinas - in the heart of Rioja - near Logrono - was hard to beat . A fantastic manor house with a swimming pool . Oh - and wine went free .Well - they've got enough of it ! Chris plumped for the Michelin star rural hostel at Murillo el Fruito .
So to the best meal . That for me does go to Murillo el Fruito. And the breakfast also was to die for ! Chris had a sweet spot for the restaurant in Tremp - or was it Sussana the waitress he had that sweet spot for ?
So - after 550 miles - a few tyres and inner tubes - about 30 bottle of Spanish plonk - loades of croissants - 10 hearty , high calorie meals - we both look - well - fit , tanned and honed !
Thank you all for following our little adventure and see you all soon . Roger and Chris X
Best meal ? Had so many great value
