We did it! Another very hot day (temperature hit 40°C) with lots of climbs and downhills, although it must be said that there was more going downhill than the contrary. Vincent suffered throughout and did most of the stage pedaling with only his right leg, but he made it!
An idiot almost managed to get Fred by opening his car door without looking, but Fred’s natural class prevailed and he swerved just in time. More nice countryside today, and then quite a bit of traffic as we entered Porto. We didn’t find a Porto sign for the group picture, but we decided that the terrace of the café opposite the hotel would do fine!
The blog ends here for tonight, because the WiFi connection is bad, we’ve already had five or six beers, and the others are waiting for me for a few more (not to mention dinner). More tomorrow – but everyone’s fine and happy to be here. Just under 1800kms in twelve days!
