Saturday 14th May. Another stunning spring day here in Calpe, Spain. High 20's in the temps and bright sunshine. So pleased I purchased the SPF50 sunblock. We went for a quieter ride today - just 60 kms that included a coffee stop - as you do. We rode 30kms north of Calpe to a beautiful coastal tourist area full of great cafes and restaurants. My roomie - Glen Freebody from Canberra, took this pic of me on the balcony of our hotel room with the rock of Calpe in the background. I think it was so we had before and after pics! This sign at the cafe took my fancy also. How about this for a spanish breakfast - A glass of Sangria (= Chianti red wine, orange juice, fruit etc) together with a delish feed of bread and black pudding! All for just Euro: 1.25 (=A$1.70) Yummy! Tonight we have a breifing from the ride organisation and meet all the other 52 riders starting this little jaunt! Some interesting observations here - would you believe Spain today has one million new empty houses not selling. GFC result. We are told 20% unemployment and some 80% of the buildings affected in the earthquakes last Wed are beyond repair...
