Steady as she goes…

“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and can coast down them”…said Ernest Hemingway.


“You have no such accurate remembrance of a country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle”.🚲 


I read recently, that I actually stayed in the very same place in Burguete on my first night of the Camino Frances as old Ernest frequented, back in his day!



I’m thinking of switching the Brommie for the next bit down towards Porto ….




…but not sure what model to go for??


Anyway, no more hills, coast all the way as I prepare to leave the lovely Âncora tomorrow.




“Steady as she goes" is an idiom that means to maintain your current course, speed, or routine without making sudden changes or erratic adjustments. It encourages calm consistency and perseverance, especially in the face of ongoing challenges. 


A bit of Jack Black for today’s track in ‘one of his many bands’ this time, The Raconteurs.
