Making progress!

Here we go guys!

Okay, starting from Lisbon making my way down south I first had to take two ferries to get on the main road where the adventure began. People seem to be very friendly and helpful at the same time which gave me a positive feeling about the whole trip 😊. The language barrier here isn't quite as hard to manage as at times I was traveling Vietnam. Well, as a matter of fact, I'm still in Europe right!

My first day of cycling turned out to be a decent one! Got some ups and downs on the road - no dramas at all! I also found a great place to settle for the night, near the ocean between the dunes - a marvelous spot to have dinner and to watch the sunset. Oh hang on, how about that: I bought a bottle of gas for my cooking equipment (I brought the cooker to the shop and to make sure I'm buying the right one I also asked the service). Well, I guess you know what's coming right!? Of course - I was just about to prepare dinner somewhere in the middle of the dunes when I noticed that I bought the wrong gas can for my camping cooker! Yeeees! Crispy noodles with tuna isn't actually too bad!
After a long night with a bit of rain I got up fairly early to make distance before midday as I realised the sun gets quite strong and I got a bit sun burned the other day already...back on the road again I bumped into two Portuguese guys basically traveling the same route as I do. We straight got into conversation and they are really nice company for the journey. Right now I'm sitting on a camping ground in Milfontes and I'm still with the guys. We are having a good time and just about to hit the road again...

We will see what's coming next - for sure you will hear about it!

Dom 😊
