[Trip log] Day 8 Bejar-Plasencia















Today also got up early and after a hearty breakfast made our way to Plasencia for what was going to be an easy downhill stroll. One thing we have been wishing all along this trip has been a little bit of sunshine. Today we got our sunshine to the full. We arrived at Plasencia around 1.30 and lets just say a little bit more and we would have looked like the little porklet i ate yesterday! i think for tommorrow we need to make an early start and have a break during the middle of the day.Uunfortunately i cant complain much about the heat because i have been telling Pedro how hot Greece is during the summer months and now i am not allowed to complain! Anyway, Plasencia again is beautifull. We are staying in the Parador, which is an amazing old convent converted to a luxury hotel ( its our treat from this trip, I dont want any comments please:) ) its really beautiful, have been taking lots of photos of it but will post them another day since running out of time. Thats it so far guys, we are almost half way through our trip and so far it has been amazing cycling, scenery and lets not forget the food!
