Leaving Portugal

Leaving Portugal
Wow we are now back in Lisbon after a fantastic ride, and to top off all our excitement our bags were here to welcome us all intact and secure, Claus and his contacts with the other Moto group and DHL did a very good job. We even changed the Ayres Adventures procedure check list, and no bags were lost on the second tour.
On the last night before we headed into Lisbon we stayed in a wonderful Palace in a little remote village, very private and very beautiful, you will just have to wait for the photos when we get home.
The last day´s riding was through the mountains and very twisty, being on the back felt like I was a agitator in a washing machine being tossed about, and just waiting for the rinse , Rufus (Dr)had improved his riding and the Lawyer turned out to be a judge, he was getting better, Claus took the last days ride as his back had improved, and Nuno had urgent paper work for Denny and Alice to attend to, as Denny still had the papers for the bike in Morocco and he would not be able to leave the country(the bike is back in Portugal) - a little bit of a muddle.
We went to the same Cafe De Fado and it was very good we said our good buys to the family of Drs and Judges, Mike the Canadian is out playing Polo somewhere and we will join him to night for our farewell cuddles - he is a top bloke.

This has been a great tour but the Morocco one had more interest and more culture - still it was a great adventure all the same.

We are leaving tomorrow and should be home Tuesday (all going well).
