Lisboa - Carvalhal

29 May 2022, kilometres today: 64
Kilometres since the start: 3429

Early departure from the one-eyed hotel where I was staying. I had heard about space restrictions for bikes and I was probably misinterpreting the conditions for bikes that I had trouble finding.
At a quarter to eight at the boarding gate there must be 20 of us max this Sunday morning and only one bike, mine, so no worries!
On the other hand this crossing is sometimes presented as a cheap cruise... We are in a kind of big bus or metro, the windows are dirty... we can’t see anything 🙁
At eight o’clock I open a café in Cacilhas to have my breakfast and off we go.
The road to Setubal is not very interesting and the weather is grey which does not help.
I take my ticket as soon as I arrive and hardly have time to take off my helmet when the ferry arrives. It goes very fast, disembarkation and embarkation follow each other and the ferry leaves immediately.
It’s a pity that the weather is grey because it looks more like a cruise. Here I am in Alentejo.

Distance: my USB tracker shows almost 74km but that includes the 2 ferries. Let’s stick to what the bike computer says: 64 🙂
