From Casar de Caceres to before Calzedilla de las Barros (96 miles)
An attempted early start was a failure after the exertion of yesterday. The day went without any notable event as we passed through the capital of the region Caceres. We had lunch a bit further down the road in Merida in a park that turned out to be more lively than Kelvingrove on the royal wedding day. No full scale riot but plenty of locals downing the Spanish version of Olde English cider, we should have fitted right in!
Cycled until late today and plumper for a camping spot opposite a hotel just before Calzedilla de Los Barros in a strip of trees. Tents were set up and dinner was on the boil as Chris noticed a small family of rats scattering about the "campsite." However, we were all too tired to bother and didn't really mind sharing our spot.
We walked over to the hotel across the road for a quick pint before hitting the hay. Even though we noticed that the building next door was a strip joint questionably named "Dream
girls" the guys managed to resist temptation and we wandered back to the 1 star campsite for an early night. It wasn't until midnight that the music started at Dream Girls and it was still going when we woke up at 7am the next day!
