DAY SEVEN PARADOR BAIONA traveling to PARADOR PONTEVEDRA (Exploring with D & J)


Tuesday morning and the sun shines on the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean at the harbor of Baiona! 0930 meet up time to join forces with Dave and Joyce for breakfast to plan out the potential activities for this transition day as we move north towards our next stop. As the Beskow’s had trouble circumnavigating around the metropolis of Vigo Spain, they planned to stay on the back highways to avoid the morning’s rush hour highway jam of vehicles on the interstate equivalent. Jane had wanted to bend around the small part of the isla and the harbor of Vigo from the Atlantic Ocean. However the turnoff Left was obscured and zoomed past as they headed north. Well what about the GPS, Carmin claimed ignorance and spoke nothing of assistance. In just 35 short miles we were entering Pontevedra and began our search for the Parador. The Parador as it turns out is located inside “the old town.” An old building with 8 narrow parking spots inside the tiny courtyard. We got one, whoohoo!

Paul and I set off to have lunch, after all it had only been 4 or 5 hours since we last ate. Found a restaurant and sat down outside to enjoy salad and lomo and ribs. It was lovely and warm and I believe the same gull who and harassed us in Baiona had followed us up the coast to here where we had lunch!
