Lie in didn’t get up until 7.15am. At last night’s check in they mentioned a wedding today. Guests in the hotel & outside but assume not to see the boys off. Overcast day with a brief downhill start then a long climb to Port de Torre Miro at 1204 metres. New road so surface very good. Then dropped down to Morella (sort of town to visit again stunning castle, aqueduct & city wall).
At coffee met 3 other touring cyclists all Dutch. Older couple cycled from Lyon heading to Saville then to Santander & the home to Holland. A 3 month camping trip. The other being a chap who had cycled up from Marbella heading home via brothers place in France. Has to be home by August.
From there easier climb to Port de Querd at 1080 metres. Almost in the clouds so got damp but once over the top hardly had to pedal to the finish.

Days miles 40 total miles 793.2.
Ascent 2521 feet total ascent 40647 feet.
Old Dutch tourers 3.
