A Fistful of €uros

2019 sees the Wild Hogs, Woody and Grizzly, embark on another marathon tour. After the cold snowy mountains of Norway in the north, they now take on the hot dusty plains in the south, touring the Iberian peninsula. They’ll come together to begin their journey in Portsmouth, sailing to Bilbao, before spending around 30 days trekking through Spain, Portugal and into the Pyrenees of Andorra and France, before returning to Bilbao and Portsmouth. It's an epic journey totalling some 4250 road miles.

Full up

Went for a little walk up the road in the sunshine. Got back to find Sanch on his first beer, as expected. Joined him in a few. Only €1 a bottle.

Had dinner. My starter, spicy sausage turned out to be a whole bloody chorizo style, 100% meat I reckon. For mains we shared a chicken and meat platter. For fecks sake, it was huge. About 6 large pieces, with chips and spinach! No surprise we couldn't finish it all.

Meal cost came to about two thirds of the room cost!

Away from the meal, whilst beer is cheap, petrol isn't. About 22 cents per litre more than Spain.

Tomorrow we head east before looping south and then west to Vila Real. Should be some interesting riding, especially as Tomtom says some is unpaved and Sanch reckons it is going to "feckin piss down".

Till tomorrow.
