A lazy day in Suanbo Hot Springs on lifeday 25,448
Thursday 30th March 2017 With 5 days in the saddle, 270 miles covered and well over 1 mile of vertical climbed I decided a rest day was called for. Perhaps not the best thing to do on a glorious cycling weather day with more rain & cold forecast for the next few days 🙁 I started…

Biking Yeoju-Si to Suambo on Lifeday 25,447
Wednesday 29 March 2017 Another great day of biking this time with added sun! I pedalled into town to get breakfast at Paris Baguette which was pretty busy.

Cycling Cheondong (Seoul) to Yeoju-Si on Lifeday 25,446
This was my first complete day on the 4 Rivers bike route and was it amazing! in fact stunning the perfect bike path. Although the weather was less than perfect with an ethereal mist over the views. I decided to try my luck at the local bread shop again, a lot warier than yesterday when one of…

Cycling Jeonkok to Cheondong (Seoul) on Lifeday 25,445
Monday 27th March 2017 What a foul weather day! I awoke to thick grey cloud and finished it in pouring icy rain 🙁 The going was also very varied from old broken roads which would compete with the worst in England to high-speed smooth very busy expressways with the cycle paths following a similar pattern.…

A walk in the rain from Aljezur to Odeceixe on lifeday 25,434
By the time we had finished breakfast at 8.45 it was pouring down with rain 🙁 Neither of us had bought our full UK weather kit with us 🙁 so we hung around to see if it would stop. At 10.15 we gave in and left, me with a small brolly Sally with my new…

Walking from Arrafana to Aljezur via the Rota Vicentina on lifeday 25433
We left the hostel with our fellow walkers and the donkey drivers 🙂 at 9.25 after the poorest breakfast of this holiday so far 🙁 We decided to take the longer route via the cliff tops. An excellent choice with the wildflowers in bloom along a sandy track so making it a very pleasant stroll…
