The curves continued all day and we had scenic stops in mountain top villages and the town of Monquiche.

Here Trevor headed back east and we continued west on can you believe it an even more cured mountain road . We finally reached Vila Nova de Milfontes just as the sun was setting.

We woke to another stellar day with only just over 200 km to go. We made a stop at the view point in the town and then made for the Galp for gas and breakfast! Not much for scenery on the ride today.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
