5/27 (Mon) PORTO to Furadouro Hotel Beach & Spa

7:25-beat Cindy to bkft-really??? Had eggs, fruit, mushrooms, sasauge, pancakes, crepes, sweets, juice-made 2 trips-never eat bkft at home. Bike meeting @ 9 w/Joao Monteiro-very nice-don’t tell him I’m afraid. Start out on busy cobble streets-now along river on bike path-feel better-maybe I can do this @ 72☺☺☺ GPS is pointing the way (arrow pointing backward) along the ocean, beaches-beautiful-now on wooden path-STOP-SAND😯😯. Have to lift bikes over rope. Meet Vicky & Claire from UK-help them lift their bikes over rope-they’re doing trip by themselves. Now in pine forrest-no traffic-have path to ourselves. WIND IS AT OUR BACKS-pushing us along-nice temperature for biking. Stop & eat apple for lunch. 2:15 Arrive in FURADOURO-very small little town-ocean across street. Put bikes in garage- manager has drinks waiting for us-luggage in room-pool, sauna included. Sitting in lobby, Cindy comes in-then big group from Australia. Go to sauna, pool, bed for more relaxation. Armand reads, goes for a walk. Jean gets in after 6-had to make police report in Porto-purse w/passport & credit cards stolen in hotel. Try to go to ocean-too cold & windy. Going to eat in hotel-Armand couldn’t find anything to eat in little restaurants. Day 2 tomorrow.

  1. Hi Karen & Armand. Thanks for your help lifting our bikes! Hope you’re enjoying the portugese coast as much as us. Good luck with the rest of your trip. May the wind always be at your back!
