Portugal: Finally... departure

Tears in the eyes, butterflies in the stomach, adrenalin in the blood and 1150 km in the motorbike. Time to start the journey. For real, after weeks of dreaming about it.

With a short stop in  Lisbon for technical reasons, the journey continued through Vasco da Gama bridge. Usually the wind blows strong, making it a hard drive, but not today. The heavy cargo and the two passengers kept Tear Drop close to the asphalt without shaking. Exit to Montijo, quick biological break, stop at Sweet Drop (aka Pingo Doce) to get food and short ride to the Orbitur camping site in Évora.


Tomorrow is time to get some training for Western Sahara, crossing the hot plains of Alentejo and Andalucia towards the South of Spain.
