Up early with a few things to sort out before we leave.
My first call is to Vision Express who complete an eye test and make me two pairs of reading glasses within an hour of the test. Not cheap but by avoiding designer frames I kept the cost down.
I also want to replace the mobile phone I lost in Villagarcia. I want a Sony Ericsson and while some of the networks have it on contract only Carphone warehouse have it available without contract and usable with any Sim card.
A visit to Boots for a few holiday items and I was ready to go.
The bikes were packed and we set off at around 16:30 (mileage 3950) having donned rainsuits. There was a heavy rainstorm moving north towards us. We almost made it to Hull but the storm caught us 20 minutes out.
We arrived at the P&O terminal in Hull at 19:30 and boarded almost immediately. After getting changed we had a nice but relatively expensive meal on board and a few drinks in the bar where I managed to delete all my Lisbon photos from the camera.
