Recovery day,some light pedaling and Spanish earthquakes.

Got to our Calpe hotel - the 'Roco Esmeralda' at 11pm local time and promptly engaged in a long overdue meeting with a pillow! Got a reasonable nights sleep and after breakfast - went to the local supermarket for a few essentials - snacks, water, fruit and some toiletries etc. I got a bottle of what I think (all spanish text on it) is shower gel. Many things here seem quite cheap in the supermarket and some of the other stores. About 12 of us went for a very enjoyable ride to get the legs moving again and to work off the jet lag. Just a quiet 100 km's ride north and inland of Calpe in a loop with an obligatory stop for coffee (I am told the Spanish make lousy coffee and my first impressions are that), some more water and to take some pics (coming later). Getting used again to riding on the far right hand side of the road and taking it carefully around the roundabouts kept the concentration level high and us 'on our toes'. Tomorrow we will do about 130 km's as the riding group swells a bit with some 50 riders to start SuperEuroride on Sunday. Weather nice so far and forecast to stay that way for a while- fingers crossed. By the way - we never felt the southeastern Spanish earthquakes last night. It looks like we were in the air from Madrid to Alicante when the second one hit and do not recall feeling the first one while in transit at Madrid airport. I just hope there are no more!
