Setabul - Porto Covo

Up and away to the ferry which was made very easy to access by the very friendly and efficient staff. Calm crossing and then up the ramp and the first flat ride for some time. We really did bowl along through sand dunes and line forests. Stopped eventually for a coffee and met with fellow cyclists from New Zealand. They were going only a short distance to Melissa without any kind of map! You will understand the importance of this omission as the blog proceeds.

We had made a decision in view of the lack of hills, to continue to Sines. All going well with wind up our arse and a good wide duel carriageway. And then, just when we thought EV could get no more ludicrous it did! Our road turned in an instant to a motorway! Exit we must and did to nowhere. A sandy track to the beach or a half made road to goodness knows where. (I now have no faith left in our route instructions but absolute faith in Al, who somehow got us to Sines almost impossible unless using a car!

Found a great campsite some 15kms further on and, even better, a fabulous Italian restaurant whose food was outstanding.

Crashed!

107km total today .
