We ate: stuffed baby rooster with pak choi, grilled tomatoes and potatoes at Skjoldenesholm Hotel
We pedaled: 16 km.
Our average speed: 16 km/hr
We slept: Hotel Skjoldenesholm (yes again, it was worth it)
What a day. We slept like babies. Viva "el doping". We took over-the counter pain killers (muscle relaxants) strong enough to knock you out. Voltaren 75mg.
Some tiger balm (spray) all over our limbs and woke up as new cyclists! Not surprisingly, this helped us .
We decided to stay at this beautiful place and enjoy it a bit. We also went into town to by a new extra tube in case we need it again. Boris gave me some hope when he mentioned that one of the reasons why I as going so slow was the fact that we were carrying to much weight. So immediately, without thinking it over, we made the most wise decision: WE GOT RID OF 4 PANNIERS (THE 2 FRONT ONES FROM EACH BIKE)- We went to the Post office and sent back to Seville 8 kg worth of weight.
That will really help us to continue in a smoother way. We made not be as clean from now on but we will definitely pedal faster!
I saw that Boris really enjoyed this day, getting back memories from his childhood in Czech Republic so I hope that as we go, he adds his thoughts to this blog.
