When old GPS & phone are both unreliable, what's left? 
Lucky only short ride today, but 10km of that was on pavé!
Tuesday 3 November 2015
Walk on the beach near Facho (Portugal). Bit grey & windy, but there's still fun to be had looking for treasure!
Sunday 1 November 2015
Gotta love a climb where last few kays are 10% pavé! Cattle here impressive too, esp. ones with the odd udders!

Lunch in a restaurant in Spain. I literally LOL'd when the waitress asked if we were splitting the bill. Like I have a choice any more?!
Friday 30 October 2015
When in Spain: tapas lunch in Santiago de Compostela. Followed by ice cream for some reason... even though it's cold!
Friday 30 October 2015
Sightseeing in Santiago de Compostela. Not much here aside from the cathedral with a rather ornate interior though.

Cathedral Beach, North Spain. Fabulous 'almost winter' morning exploring. Low tide here is a must. Well planned!
Monday 26 October 2015
Prosciutto in a Spanish supermarket. More of a staple than luxury. Which is how it should be to be honest! Yum! 
Sunday 25 October 2015
Random trundle around valleys in Northern Spain. Lovely & green. Nice hills too, descent back to coast great fun! 
Friday 23 October 2015
Social networks should show random posts from strangers in completely different cultures to promote understanding & tolerance globally. Yes?
Friday 23 October 2015
Another deserted Spanish beach. This is Playa de la Griega, our lunch (well, very late lunch) stop for the day.
Friday 23 October 2015
The rather rocky & wind-swept beach at Vega. Only 1 sole surfer braving the elements here. Oh, & me (not Pratiwi!)
Friday 23 October 2015
Passing the church at Niembro cove & thought it pretty enough for a picture. The joys of random travel 
Friday 23 October 2015
Not much clearance on this gateway. Tricky because of the hill we're turning onto. But it got in, sooooo... all good!
Friday 23 October 2015
Great colours on the Picos de Europa mountains this morning! We're moving on today, but it's a nice send off

Hangouts @Android app photo sharing not as good as web version. But this redirects to @GooglePlay page for said app on a tablet! #HugeFail#2

No lens or perspective trickery here. That's just one bloody big steak! So tasty! Nom, nom, nom... nom... nom!

What has been our home this week. Not a bad spot I guess Thanks to the olds for having us!
Thursday 22 October 2015
More roadside randomness. Approaching Potes on the way home. Beautiful countryside around here! #StateTheObvious
Thursday 22 October 2015
Post hike refreshments. Although to be honest, only one of these is actually refreshing. Am I right?
Thursday 22 October 2015
Well... they almost got the timing right Not bad for a bunch of old folk taking it nice & easy though!

Most of this has been downhill... until now. One small bump to get over to reach the village at the end of the trail.
Thursday 22 October 2015
Yet more, 'Oh look, we're walking along a cliff' pictures. It's like this a lot of the way and just spectacular!
Thursday 22 October 2015
Some of the tunnels (although these are very short) cut into the cliff face in Cares Gorge. Yet more amazement!
Thursday 22 October 2015
Having fun in Cares Gorge. Perfect day for a hike!
Thursday 22 October 2015
Continuing on... Getting a little sun in this deep gorge in the afternoon was very welcome! Amazing place!
Thursday 22 October 2015
Obligatory 'Pratiwi is the red dot' pics walking along a path cut into the cliff face! Awesome & not scary at all!
Thursday 22 October 2015
Starting out on walk through Cares Gorge. Bit cold, dark & damp in the opening section despite being close to noon.
Thursday 22 October 2015
Sights from the road on the way to Cares Gorge. Moooooo!
Thursday 22 October 2015
The view from Mirador de Pandetrave and again just a little down the road. Shaping up to be a great day!

Wednesday 21 October 2015
I rode a 23km cat 1 climb today & had a higher average heart rate on the descent than the way up! #DriveThatDescent #NotVerySteep #Speed!
Wednesday 21 October 2015
This was the 'warm up' climb on today's ride: cat 2 up to Cahecho. Went on to Fuente De but got cloudy so no pics

Lunch at Asador Llorente, Potes. Yum! And most of these dishes are entrées! We all left feeling a little stuffed!

Sunset above Zarautz. Say no more!

Beautiful rolling hills inland from San Sebastian. Aside from the main road to get here wonderful riding

The valley near Gazost (French Pyrenees). Last time I was here, was on the bike & saw a couple of deer. Lovely place.
