Started off early this morning heading for Figueira da Fox light house. I come across a deserted beach along the way, so I stopped for lunch which consisted of a tin of hotdogs and bread which I cooked on my stove. Then I continued to the light house which up a mountain… Or hill. On reaching the top I gave a rocky punch in the air. Man that mountain was really hard work. Here are some images to share.

Arrived in the sea side town of Mira after coving 75 miles. Here are a few images to share.. Oh and special request completed.

I felt the need to visit a church when I crossed the boarder in to Portugal. This beautiful church really lifted my spirits.

I arrived in Porto late Tuesday night after riding 85 miles and having a few thrills and spills along the way, more about another time. Woke up to the same wet damp weather but decided to have a little look the city of Porto. This amazing city has great buildings and even more impressive bridges lined by cobbled streets which is not good for touring bikes. Here are a few images of Porto.

I’m sorry to say that Jay and I have parted in Portugal.

Just some pictures

Random acts of kindness is harder than I first thought but I am pleased to say that a further two have been added. The very simple act of giving money to people who are clearly in need has been the easiest way I have found to date. I’ve not found a cat stuck up a tree or a good looking lady stranded on the side of the road with a flat tyre yet but rest assured I’m still looking. So the random act counter now stands at 3.

To date I have received more help from from complete strangers than I’ve given out. Most of them have been language issues and directions. So a big thanks to the people who have in their own small way helped us. I am sure the universe will send them my thanks in some way..
