Well that few days have flown by, the ferry crossing wasn't too bad and went without incident. Strange coincidence was that I met a fellow Scot on a vfr750 in the queue who has lived in England most of his life but transpired had done his apprenticeship with my old friend Ian Murrie in Rosyth, Ian sadly passed away just over a year ago and Jim had been trying to find him somehow but sadly to no avail. There were only half a dozen motorcycles on board, the boat was quiet which meant we were through immigration as fast as we could get ourselves organised.
We then had a wasted half hour being lost in Bilbao for which I blamed the satnav. It was quite cool, around 12 degrees and it took 200 miles before it started to heat up and by the time we had finished our day at Caceres we were quite toasty in 24 degrees and tired after our 400 mile day.
Today almost 300 miles and we are now in Algeciras waiting for a ferry for Morocco tomorrow!
Let's see how that goes!
usual sandwiches at our fuel stops
the old town in Caceres
and the old tower ruined by TV aerials!
Bikes at rest
You no sooner reach the warmer climes of Mediterranean shores than it snows back here above 250m (750') and we have soft hail showers! However, there were swallows on the tree this morning and that really brightened the day. Good health and safe miles, Myreside
