Tuesday

Low cloud again this morning and some sporadic rain. Had breakfast with Fernando Costa who was the race director and a good friend from Porto. The three of us then drove out to one of the training areas. Fantastic area, cork and olive trees, very runable. Checkout the maps on my Facebook page. On the return journey a private tour of a small local winery, with the obligatory wine tasting of course. Then a tour of a local castle, part of which is also a five star hotel. Ending with a lovely simple meal in a local hostelry. Great day. Forecast is better for tomorrow, fingers crossed. Bournemouth area had snow this morning looking at all the FB posts.
