....a few more
i liked Chaves
people here seem to favour extensions in distressed corrugated iron.
in fact, distressed is something of a theme in Portuguese architecture.
back in the Picos. we had a great run through here on the way down on the saturday evening with no traffic , but going back north it was chokka with sunday afternoon drivers. tricky road to overtake on, but still a fabulous ride.
that's probably a 4
the only wet road we saw all week.
sunset on the bay of Biscay
and back to Portsmouth
we travelled out on the posher Cap Finistere, but had to return on the Economie ship Baie de Seine due to dates/availability. it was actually a pleasant surprise after last years crossing on the Etratat, which was pretty basic to say the least. avoid.
the only thing i'd say against the Baie de Seine is the inordinately long crossing time approaching 30 hours.
The KTM did 2000 miles fully loaded, used no oil or coolant, was pleasantly comfy, missed no beats and required no chain adjustment
