7th february
Today is the day I try out the bike we have brought with us. JC looked at it before we left and said it was fine, so I am trusting him. I set off having read that there is a bike ride along the slatpans to Fuseta. Not exactly true, the path follows the reserve for amshort while and then goes off into roads, up hills, down tracks, through villages and I am lost. This combined with the fact that the bike is fine unless yoh use the gears or the brakes, all of which are dodgy. I cycle for a couple of miles and apart from being lost and having to back track, i think about the last time I was on a bike. At least 5 years ago. My god. I am not fit. O I abandon Plan A and make for home while Imstill can. Once back, we all pile into the can and head off to Fuseta.
Spent a week here last time in the local campsite. It is a typical Portugese harbour town with a fabulous fish market daily and everything there is so cheap. It has improved itself with a couple of smart restaurants on the sea front and a snazzy bar on the beach area, which is beautiful anyway.
One of the restaurants by the market has a large barbeque outside and the smells from the fish cooking is delicious. (Or maybe that is because my smell has improved!).
