Long day

Today has been a long and tiring day. From Chaves we had a four hour ride to Vila Real, all on twisty roads and some on 'unpaved', which means cobbles, most of it in the rain. The roads are challenging in the dry but a bit of rain spices them up a notch. I'd be lying if I said it has rained all day but it has more than not.

One of our stops, just up the road was at the Mateus wine house. I never intended to go in the house, as I knew we'd be late, so just intended to take a photo of the front of the house. Asked the guy in the ticket office if we could just take a photo. Yes, if we paid, he replied! Tosser. We walked away.

From there we made our 2nd fuel stop of the day. My first in two days came whilst we were separated. Ginny had covered 238 miles!

There are some Brit Harleys staying at the hotel. They too have be rained on.

Making do with a Burger King dinner, as the hotel isn't serving.  It's the nearest place, especially as it is still raining.

Another stupid picture
