Tuesday 14th October 2014 - Villa Real, Portugal

Being well ahead of schedule, Les and Ian can slow down a little on their way to Vale do Lobo. Today they cycled 58km in 3hrs 10mins.
They reached Ayamonte on the Spanish/Portuguese border in time to catch the 14:00 ferry over to Portugal where the local time was 13:00 - so does that mean that they only cycled for 2hrs 30mins? This is the last of a series of ferry journeys on the trip and, says Les, is a much better option than the new busy bridge. They have found a small hotel in Villa Real and hope to find the tourist information office later to enquire about a cycle track along the coast.
