Day 102                                             29th<\/sup> October<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

30miles (Cadiz on ferry) Average speed 8mph Top speed 19 mph
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A great day that turned out not such a great evening!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Had brekkie of egg and cheese baguette. Then showered and made it to the ferry for 12 but the ferry didn’t depart until 12.50, so I went to a coffee shop and a bank while I waited in the strong wind. I got on the ferry with two other cyclists. I chatted to Roland and Francesca from Switzerland. They were staying at a campsite with a van and cycling around and had good advice about Cadiz. They were touring for four weeks and we talked about the area and our trips. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When the ferry arrived in Cadiz  I went into town to see the sights and then cycled around the perimeter.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I went to the fort and the castle and saw the beaches, spending all day sightseeing.  Had a late lunch of wraps, beer and crisps while watching the sunset on the beach.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The wraps were meant to be warmed in a microwave but they were fine cold. Had a drink in a beach bar and chatted to Vernon on FaceTime. Ferry back was at 9.30 so I checked out the festival in town and had another beer. I got on ferry and it was a party boat on the way back with a lot of locals singing and dancing and taking photos of me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I got back and had a drink with the singing waiter before going to the Black and White bar and onto Bar Rodeo where unfortunately somebody stole my bar bag with iPad, passport, satnav and glasses. I tried to ask staff if it had been handed in but tricky in Spanish. Not a good end to a great day up to that point!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
