I’m running short on time and I need to get a move on through Spain and up into France. Problem is, I need service on the bike and desperately need a new rear tire! All those little stone streets in Portugal ate my tire right up and it’s completely bald. But there is no where around here to get a new bike tire, the kind I want anyway...
Just a little blog post I would have liked to have included to finish up Portugal on the last one, but ran out of time. Back on the road again north of Porto, I get a text message from Miguel asking where I am.. I told him I was heading back into Spain shortly. He said wanted to show me more of Portugal first. Mmmm.. should I? I was feeling I moved too...
Aha!! New Camera project accomplished in Seville Spain.. finally! I’ve got somewhat normal photos again! Hallelujah!! Now I can get on the road again.. yay! I’m going to Portugal!~! I’ve been looking forward to this as it’s one of the main countries I wanted to see in Europe. As normal I follow the back routes...
My ride through the back roads to Seville was beautiful, but that dag gone camera! The photos are not going to work.. most of them are pure white and completely unusable. How I got the few I did, for who knows what reason. I’ll put up the ones I managed to tweek enough to post.. Meandering my way through so many great little Spanish villages. Their...
After my night in the truck stop.. I decide to continue my way through Spain on the back roads to Madrid. I found a great property for sale… should I?? 😉 Bull fight advertising in a village.. wasn’t sure but they seem to still be popular! I love the back roads.. it appears that life is good out here.. and definitely more authentic than...
Barcelona.. my favorite city in the world! (so far..) I made a joke on my facebook page at the time that it’s flattering this guy’s interest in my bike when there is a far more interesting site behind me! ;-)) I’ve been here once before, on that same cruise with George’s boat 15 years ago.. I remember so clearly how much I loved it and...
I did it!! Managed to get from Slovenia to Spain in record time! Came in through Italy via Monaco and France into Spain, and navigated my way to Barcelona easily to the ferry port to board with an hour to spare. As usual, the ferry to Palma de Mallorca is an overnight sailing, and an expensive one at that, so it’s deck chair space for me again. ...
Not far from Umag Croatia, I ride through Slovenia. Heading for a planned stop at Lake Bled, as so many people have recommended it to me. It’s not far, I’m not in a hurry, so I pick the little dirt roads.. well me and Mr. Garmin picked them. My camera is still very sick if not dying. It’s getting really bad.. I get the odd picture...
