A Good Heart…

 

I decided not to visit the iconic mountain top church that overlooks the town even though it’s said to be the sanctuary of the sacred heart ❤️ of Jesus. Why there would only be the remains of his left ventricle is beyond me?

 I did look back and it was impressive on the top of the hill.



But as Fergal Sharkey once told us , “A good heart these days is hard to find…”


Relaxed start as not far to go again today, the first job was to negotiate my way along the tiny path, just wide enough for a Brompton bag, across Eiffel’s road and rail bridge across the River Limia. 

The ‘Che Guevara’ shrine and emporium at a small bar stop was an interesting find.




After passing more wild orchids growing along the roadside, the second bridge of the day was over the Cavado River as I arrived at Fao.



Less than 50km away from the airport now so probably done more miles than Vasco da Gama on this trip. 






Well it’s 1985, Thursday night, 7pm its Top of the Pops and this is this week’s number 1….
