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.

In Obidos

A relatively easy, (i.e. no mountain twisties) ride to our hotel at Obidos. There's a stunning view of it on the hillside as you come in on the motorway.

A very friendly welcome to the hotel, including a snifter of the local brew, a cherry liqueur @ 20% alcohol. Very tasty. Receptionist is Brazilian, who has lived in UK for 5 years. Her English is very good as a result. Never heard a foreigner say dodgy before!

View from the room

Stopped briefly to stick some air in the tyres. A bit difficult when they are hot but I'll check them cold tomorrow and make adjustments again on the road.

There's a pool here so might try and get a swim before we go up town.
