Man, it\u2019s gotten HOT again! We left our campground and headed for a town where there is supposedly a rail trail as we wanted to go for a bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a pleasant drive today, through fields of fruit trees, mainly olives and avocados. The olive trees looked like they were all having a bad hair day. It was only about 1.5 hours drive but by the time we got to the town, it was HOT! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the outskirts of town was the best Lidl I had ever been to. It looked like it was brand new and beautifully air conditioned and even had nice toilets. We grabbed a few bits and pieces then headed to the town of Mirandela and parked up in a camping car place for the night. It\u2019s quite a nice spot, beside a park and the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we had trouble finding where the bike ride started and it looked like we\u2019d have to ride mainly on roads. So we lay down for a nap instead. At 5pm, I couldn\u2019t stand the heat in the van any longer so we took a walk alongside the river into the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a student festival to celebrate the end of the school year, and the town had a great vibe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We sat down at a bar and ordered some zero beer. I couldn\u2019t believe the price. 3 euros for two beers! So cheap! At that price we decided we could afford two each! It was really tasty too, a Portuguese one. I can see now why so many people sit around outside drinking at bars. We couldn\u2019t afford to do that at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
