Motorcycle life – motorbike travel and pictures

Motorbikes – the places we go and the people we meet: Part 5 As much as I had loved my time in Evora and that I wrote about in Part 4, it was time for me to move on. I didn’t expect to be back in Portugal on this trip. The next place I had […]

Motorcycle Spain & Portugal – sunshine & warm roads. Part 3. My overnight stay at the Hotel Infantado had been good. As I said in Part 2 I would have no hesitation at all in staying at this accomodation again. It’s ideally located for the the start or the end of a trip if leaving […]
Motorcycle Spain & Portugal – sunshine & warm roads. Part 2. When I posted Part 1 I mentioned I had stayed overnight in Mudford at The Half Moon Inn & Country Lodge Staying at the Half Moon left me with less than 100 miles to do after breakfast to reach the Brittany Ferries terminal in […]
