Discussion
Fair play, that's a proper fook it I'm having some me time. Personally I don't need permission from the other, she wouldn't even no id gone
One day I need to do that kind of adventure on my own, its been a long time since I felt free enough without work and life impeding my dreams. That being said I seem to be satisfied that time off work is a holiday regardless of going away. Enjoy the rest of your adventure .

The bike had done 125,000km. A few rattles if gassing it, but the roads aren't the kind you'd want to be going fast on anyway. They're smooth and quiet, but i didn't want to attract any attention.
The dampers were knackered, so it bounced over any speed humps or crossings. Quite funny.
Brakes caught me out. They're crap! My S1000 stops effortlessly, whereas this needed a proper handful!
230km done.
And i spent about 10 euros on fuel, which was a surprise. It only used 2 bars on the fuel gauge! Those CB500s are incredibly efficient.
Bike hire was 68€ plus 5€ for jacket, which was a nice cool mesh type. Didn't feel hot all day.
I took some jeans and my summer gloves and just wore trainers as i was packing light.
So all in it cost about €85 for the day.
Tempted to book again and take the ferry over to Fuerteventura, but trying to keep costs down a bit.
2€ per pint is helping...

Took the passenger ferry to Fuerteventura yesterday to see an old friend John than i used to race Caterhams with. He lives there now and has a fairly popular youtube channel about the island (see JP in Fuerteventura).
Lunch with them with a little bit of a tour, then ferry back again.
Blimey it's so cheap over here!! €2.75 each way for the 30 min bus ride to the port, then €20 each way for the ferry between the islands. So €45.50 in total.

Thanks - I was about to ask Bike hire was 68€ plus 5€ for jacket, which was a nice cool mesh type.

I did the bus tour when I was there with the family a few years ago - I thought it was an amazing landscape - like Mars sums it up well
Looks like you've had a great holiday
