[Trip log] Day 9: Plasencia - Trujillo

















Hi guys!,

So today we did Plasencia - Trujillo. We started our day having a humongous breakfast at the Parador. Raniska was more moderate but I had enough breakfast for 2 or 3 people

We did about 80Km, which would have been fine if it wasn't for the incredible heat! The route was a little bumpy, with the some steep hills but beautiful scenery. We crossed a National Park, Monfragüe, which is known for its vulture and eagle colonies. We had an early lunch at the park and continued our way to Trujillo. At this point the heat was starting to become really uncomfortable. After 1pm we had to stop every 10 km more or less (that's about half an hour) to cool ourselves down and avoid to melt the tyres (okay, that might be an exageration but you get the idea)

Finally we arrived to Trujillo at about 4pm. Picture this: sweaty, tired and hot and what is the way to get to the centre of the town?? That's right, a little (not so little) nice (not so nice) uphill!


So that's all for today. Tomorrow we have a long day (about 100km) and we are quite tired, so forgive us for not writing anything else!

Oh, the two of you! How romantic!
A challenge like that, requires rigor and passion, elements required to go through the little uphill that will lead you to a paradise on earth! oh! how romantic!
