Day 9

Rate this post

Today I woke up at 8.00 🙂 I did some washing and headed down for breakfast which I took on the terrace of the hotel. It was just perfect. The best I had in days. I then went for a short ride around Marbella and gave a good wash to the bike as it really needed it. 

There was a slight issue before I could leave. It took some time to get the bike out from where I parked it as a Mini Cooper was king enough to park on the disabled parking blocking the exit. I thought people only do this in Hungary but it turned out it happens everywhere… No comment but congratulations. 
For lunch I ate a bruschetta as I was no really hungry in this heat. It was 32 degrees in the shade! I bought some postcards and did some minor shopping before having an afternoon nap again. In the afternoon I sorted out my stuff and repacked everything after cleaning my topcase and panniers. I also has to repair my right mirror as someone was funny enough to play with it… and i took my time to make some pics at the beach while taking a short walk.
I headed to the port area to have dinner and I sat in front of a kebab stall (kebab and drink 4.50 EUR). I wanted to check out the Hungarian restaurant I found in the city but it was closed. 
I Skyped with some friends before going to bed pretty relaxed and rested.

    Day 12

    I set off from Cadiz at 10.00 and took coffee on the way out of the city in the shade of trees in a cafe. I took the motorway to Sevilla and had lunch there. I should have stayed there to explore but decided to push it further. It was already 30 degrees in Seville…

    Today morning was surprisingly chilly. I mean by the standards I got used to in the last couple of days and obviously not the home standards where temperatures are still below zero during the night at this period of the year. It was 11.5 degrees and the air was rather humid.I couldn’t leave before 8.00…

    Today I left Valencia around 9.00 and headed inland towards Albacete. The road was wonderful. Small roads alongside riverbeds but I had to pay attention as in some places rocks were blocking part of the road. At one time I crossed a plane stretching for miles where the land was so flat one could not…

    Day 16

    The alarm sounded at 7.00. I had a good night – not counting that I had to get up two times as a side effect of the beer quantity I consumed – though it was pretty cold. As I left the campsite I rode through perfect roads running between tall tree lines. Then I headed north-east…

  • Day 8

    Today I woke at 4.00 am! I just couldn’t sleep despite the fact that there was complete silence around the whole campsite. I just watched a movie in my tent. When the battery started to sun down I moved to the bathroom area and plugged it in then watched another one. In the meantime I…
