Old Man and His Bike Flys South for Winter

It was going to be a diary as I drove my Smart car with my cycle on the back from England south thru France, Spain , and then round back up thru Portugal and Spain again. Escaping the Winter in England, and investigating parts of France, Spain and Portugal, where I have never been before. I experience, Snow, Robbery, Love of a Spanish woman, and amazing roads and Scenery. What a wonderful start to my first year of my retirement. It all started way back on 28th November 2017.

Tuesday 20th February - Sagres to south of Lisbon somewhere

Because I left my window open not only did I get two mosquito bites I heard the baker coming to bring my breakfast . My bike was still on the car ok.

I took the opportunity to upgrade my SAT NAV from purchase , as it was telling me roads were the wrong way when they were not. It was a silly thing to do as it upgraded the maps but only upgraded the northern Europe maps and suddenly all the roads I could see yesterday disappeared.

4 hours later i managed to recover by installing maps on my computer and manually copying to the sat nav.
