Thursday 2nd of August 2012,
Stayed in a pretty flash place last night, actually decided I take a rest day there a nd went to tell them, bugger ...... place booked out by some company for middle management bonding session or something.
The place had a swimming pool and all, ahhhhh.
So up early and on my way to Ladoeiro, this country out here is so dry and sun bleeched, hardly a tree in sight.
Then I came apon a road leading of into the distance lined with gun trees, just like home, with lot of shade .... wish I was going that way. Found out later its the road that leads to the Parque Natural do Teja International. Well went on my way not another tree in sight apart from the occasional grove of Almonds or Walnuts? Not sure, just guessing ..... then arrive at next stop Ladoeiro (just under 20km trip) at you gessed it just before midday .... its a hot one today .... definitely looking for that beer today and a shower would be great too. Accom tonight is a touch shabby up against last nights ... ah well its got a bed, aircon and an en-suite.
