Day 3 - Too much of a good thing

Today was our first day of waking up on foreign soil, so Tim went for a stroll, took some photos and got completely lost.

When he returned at lunchtime we hit the roads for several hours of mega roads twisting around the mountains and across a couple of dams.

As we'd skipped breakie we stopped for something to eat in a little cafe in the mountains. As we pulled up, Steve was surrounded by flies, there must have been something familiar to them about his bike. 

We ended up just having a packet of crisps each as that's the only thing that we could make the guy understand, he even had to go back to his house to get us the cokes we'd ordered. 

Back on the road we had more fantastic riding, so much so that we were knackered and just wanted to get there. 

We stopped at Lugo for a late lunch, the weather was just right with not a cloud in the sky and we managed to get our food ordered correctly, the language barriers are coming down. 

We then took the fast roads to La Coruna which would be our destination for the next couple of days. We found the hotel easily thanks to the satnav , another good hotel but we're all sharing a room so there was the obligatory fight for the best bed, coat hangers and towels. 

We unpacked and Steve got his famous flip flops out which fell apart after literally 3 seconds, he's now down to one pair of trainers before he has to wear his biker boots everywhere. 

We decided that it was time for beers so we found a nice plaza in the sun and ordered some cool ones. Twenty mins later we were still waiting so Steve went and complained & the guy brought us over three pints of froth. The second round wasn't much better which led us to believe that this bar is part of the drink awareness program as there is no chance of getting drink here. 

We moved on and after finding a few bars that would serve us, we ordered some food. Having no idea what anything was so with the help of a non English speaking waiter we ordered several huge starters and a massive plate of meat between us. Maybe we had a bit too much as there is now a cow shortage in north Spain. 

We staggered back to the hotel and collapsed for the night , we could have a good lie in tomorrow as we weren't on the bikes.
