No need for suncream today – the rain hammered down for most of the day – even had a little thunder & lightning. Similar predictions had resulted in a few drops so had chosen to ignore the warnings on the weather app.
I discovered today’s ride was along the Pilgrim Trail & passed many cycle tourers & hikers heading north. Unfortunately we could only manage a waive of encouragement as we were all heads down pushing on to our destination as quickly as we could. Today’s photos en route therefore were limited to the brief periods between showers, though I think offer a accurate gist of the landscape travelled through.
I got to Mérida just in time for a conference call with the GE Team. I’d found a restaurant umbrella, ordered a hot drink & settled into the call – dripping wet. Afterwards, found a cheap, very pleasant hotel (€30), showered & explored the city.
Mérida – Parador Hotel with a rather large nest on their chimney!
