    11. oktober 2025, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

    Up early today, as had a 2 hr bus ride to Salamanca in Spain, and back again. Stopped half way for coffee /toilet stop, not your usual cafe.. Cows hooves anyone? A large university city, it makes it money from tourism, students and ham/agricultural products. It has a grand house covered in sandstone shells, and an amazing cathedral, taking over 200 yrs to build. Has the main cathedral part, and 18 chapels around the inside, on the outer walls. The detail in the outside carving was so intricate. Going back to the boat, drove past where the September fires were, that devistated thousands of hectares of land. Temperatures got up to the mid 40's.Læs mere
