Blame The Navigator

At the last minute this morning I suggested to Gordon we go through the mountains past a couple of ski fields to Salamanca in central Spain instead of hugging the coast to A Coruna. What a great idea that was , just as much rain, but with alpine temperatures plus a howling gail.

 Our bikes are covered in salt , from the salted roads  & it was hard to stay upright with the wind. No problem to kiwi bikers of course. The roads through the mountains are awesome. 4 lanes all the way with huge viaducts & numerous tunnels, all obviously built in the last 10 years. No wonder this  country has a debt problem. Guys today we passed at least 50 Valley pivots yeah!! & they were not rusty.. Tomorrow we will head out to Lisbon, Portugal, & please some good warm weather.
