A decent crossing very flat calm last night. We had a table in the fancy restaurant by the window. Saw tuna jumping out of the water.
Halibut for dinner.
Disembarkation took 45 mins from docking to completing self scan at port. Pretty good really, boat wasn't full though.

We took a calimoto route down to Braganca just on non motorway setting. It's been a great ride with straight Roman style roads, sweeper and twisties galore as we neared Braganca.
This road is worth a visit

The N103-7 into Branganca via Franca is a must do. It was an effort in 31.5 degrees on the bagger.
There are two Brazilian guys here one of them has completed 100k miles around the world on this Harley
His mate bought an NT in Portugal as it's easier than freighting and he'll sell it when he's done. They just arrived from Finland as they had been turned away from the Russian border.
Harley dude has been at it for 9 years. Africa next but probably on a Tenere 700 this bus will get freighted back to Brazil. He said it has never broken down
View from balcony and the hotel pool which was lovely to be in after a hot day.
Today's ride is to Porto, hotter than original forecasts so I'm keen to get going after brekkie.

Phew what a scorcher. Saw 39.5 today.
I'll do an update later, aside from cooking myself it's been really good and the roads might have been better than yesterday

I am fortunate to have ridden these roads. A great write up, thanks. Northern Portugal is much underrated, and beautiful...most Brits head South to the Algarve, but the area you are in is more interesting.
Got a recommendation from the receptionist for authentic Portuguese. I had octopus to start and monkfish with rice, all tasted very fresh and another reasonably priced meal.
Harry Monk was on the door.

A first on one of our trips - a day off the bike! 12 sites to walk to. Maybe a glass or two of port.
Back into the air con comfort of the room, a muggy 29 out there under cloud. Done a lot of walking, two cable cars and a boat trip.
Picked a logical route through the popular sites. It's very hilly for a city, spent most of the day sweating. It's really lovely though. The Bolhao market has to be a highlight. Booze, fish, fruit, veg, people browsing the stalls with a cold glass of wine in the afternoon well worth a visit.
