Arrived at our hotel in the heart of Portugal, super nice and very authentic. Check out the brick ceiling in the bar! Steps from the Liberty plaza on the coast. Beautiful!

Day 2 - Learning Lisboa
25 September 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Things we learned on day 2 about Portugal…the weather is similar to San Diego…cork originated from trees here…the city is actually pronounced “Ligshboa”…and artists really like the human body. Undeterred by a rainy morning, we jumped on a trolley toward an 1147 AD castle and walked every bridge, staircase step, and dark corridor. It was amazing! Wandered through the narrow, cobblestone roads of Lisbon, shopping, laughing, drinking and enjoying the delightful European city by the sea.

Favorite giggle from friend Roxanne to handsome lunch server: “What is your name and do you swing old?”Baca lagi

Day 3 - Lovely Lively Lisbon
27 September 2024, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Today’s adventures were BIG numbers. Lisbon is similar to San Francisco with many steep hills. So we walked 14,903 steps including up 229 stairs on the southeast side. Then we took a ride on a 42-foot sailboat (seriously, sailing in Portugal?!). Some hopped on a taxi, others on two-wheel scooters back to our favorite hotel bar. Day 3 was simply dreamy.Baca lagi

Day 4: Travel, Cork Forest and Bikes
28 September 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Boarded a bus from Lisbon to Evora. Meandering through dirt roads led us to a tree farm and ranch - beautiful oasis! Our tour guide shared the property owners’ story of many generations working to bring harmony and balance with the cork trees, olive trees, lower brush, cows, sheep, and donkeys. Cork tree trivia: first of all, did you know Portugal is a leading exporter of cork? (Patti taught us all!) And the bark from cork trees can only be harvested after the first 25 years and then every nine years after that. Fascinating! A little wine with duck/rice lunch and we were back on the road to a 14th century monk/convent/church renovated as a hotel. THEN we got to meet our bikes and our wonderful guides! Tomorrow…16.5 miles of biking in the country areas of Portugal.Baca lagi

Day 5: Old Bones
29 September 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Rolling hills of dry grass, cork trees and vineyards. Brilliant blue sky. White buildings and homes with ornate gates. Those were among scenes of our 17-mile bike ride. Amazing! The last few miles were uphill to reach the tiny town of Monsarez, which overlooks a body of water like Lake Powell and the mountains of Spain.

The history in the city of Evora was mind blowing. An Augustus Roman Temple dated 14 AD was still standing and the Chapel of Bones was created (yes from 5,000 human bones) in the 13th century. You have to see it to believe it. Super fun day. Glad we started with two teeny tiny espresso cups!Baca lagi

Day 6: Freaky Fun Facts
30 September 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
During and after riding 27.8 miles today (thank heaven for padded biking shorts!), we learned many fun facts…Portugal practices “super-intensive” farming of olives, almonds and cork. That means miles and miles of dense and tightly planted trees. “Fundulating” means biking up and down hills. The “Iberian Lynx” lives in these Portugal hills. And from the 12th to 14th centuries, this area was populated by the Roman, Islamic, and Christian people. Our evening tour was of archeological ancient home sites, a temple, burials, church and castle in the small river town of Mertola. Incredible and humbling.Baca lagi

Day 7: Sheep, Quiche and Shopping
1 Oktober 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Bom dia! Good day! Sangria for lunch? Fantastico! Bread and olive oil? Absolutely! New favorite: Portuguese tuna quiche. Shorter, casual 15-mile ride to the border of Spain. Got to put one foot in Portugal and one foot in Spain! Then we lunched and drank authentic Sangria under a shady Ficus tree by the Guadiana
(pronounced “gwa-dee-yawna”) River. Delightful! Next was a riverboat ride back to the hotel. Then a dip in the pool, shopping in Mertola, dinner and dice game with our tour guides Jorge (from Portugal) and Bibi (from Poland). So fun!Baca lagi

Day 8: Sssssspeed
2 Oktober 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Things some of us forgot and regret: reusable/refillable water bottle and portable coffee cup, night light, and butt butter to prevent chafing. Advice from our friend Bruce for males to not forget stuff, repeat this: “spectacles, testacles, wallet, phone.”

Today we enjoyed a fast downhill, “s” curve ride through a eucalyptus forest. Smelled amazing! Total miles was 31 and we reached speeds up to 30 miles-an-hour! We also toured a “costume museum.” Wonderful capture of 1920-1950s clothing, vehicles and cork processing. Ended the day at our next hotel—the 5-star, Octant in Vila Monte Farm House. Who are we, where are we, and how did we get so lucky?Baca lagi

Day 9: We thought we could. So we did.
3 Oktober 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Our last day of biking was to the Atlantic ocean. First stop was a lovely olive tree farm and olive oil business, the Monterosa. Quick summary of the process (founded by the Romans):
7 kilos of olives makes 1 litre of oil; it’s a bush not a tree; prune annually so young branches can produce more olives; pick or comb the “fruit,” then produce oil within 3 hours; press, let rest, test to ensure no bitterness; and “extra virgin” means high quality. Crazy cool, and tasty!

Last 15 miles was mostly downhill but narrow streets and busy roundabouts a little sketch. At last the big blue ocean. Fun splash to cool our sweaty bodies. Then back to our beautiful hotel for rest and farewell biking tour dinner party. Our guides, Jorge and Bibi, said it was a success and we were low maintenance. 🥴 To anyone who thought we might not make it, ha ha. We did it! Nearly 130 total miles over 5.5 days—that’s an average 25 miles a day.Baca lagi
