Zambujaira do Mar to Odemira 113.24 km

Sorry followers, the internet here is very poor. I don't know if I can publish this note today.
Anyway, it was not eventful, but in general, a good day although a long one: 9.30 hours on the road biking some 115km. Not much rain so that was good.
We had some difficulties finding a hotel and ended up somewhat distant from our main route. We had a good dinner with very friendly hosts. Life here is relatively inexpensive and people are very friendly toward tourists.

A memorable moment to mention is the fact that due to a cart reading incident, we biked some 6 km on the apron of a highway. A situation that, if I had been driving a car would have qualified as “these bikers must be out of their minds to drive there….”. The apron was wide and we never came into danger, fortunately. Something to avoid nevertheless.
We are in Sambruseiras Altas now, almost 70 km from Lisbon where we hope to arrive tomorrow.
