• Bodegas, cycling and Lake dipping

    June 7, 2025 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    We had some great bread still warm from the bakery for breakfast.
    Planned our day as it was going to be a hot one.
    Cycled 6 miles to the local village Fermoselle which is known for its Bodegas ( wine cellars ) We sampled vino blanco, tinto and Moselle wines and as we were cycling and I had to carry the wine back bought a couple of bottles for with dinner.
    Caught the supermarket just as it was closing and bought some fantastic steaks for dinner on the BBQ .
    Settled into a lovely local bar for a couple of drinks and tapas. We loved to people watch as it was a real local bar full of local villagers who were celebrating it was the weekend.
    After a 6 mile cycle up hill back to the site we stopped a little bar for rehydration and they had a first communion celebration going on - the boy thought he was the bees knees but looked like Michael Jackson in his white suit and shoes. All the adults and children were dressed to the nines!
    After cool down we cycled down to the lake again for a dip to cool down even further.
    Back at the site relaxed and when it cooled down Jim cooked the steaks on the BBQ and we sampled our wine we bought earlier.
    Off to Portugal tomorrow !!
