I mounted on the roof of an aerodynamic trunk Gev to 490 liters. To mount it I had to build myself a trunk, finds nothing suitable. The trunk is primarily used to bring the spiaggine comfortable, great for relaxing, barbecue a very practical purchase in Portugal, leather jackets, you pay very little in Spain and Jamon Iberico "Ham", just fantastic. This, unlike the prosciutto di Parma, che “si scioglie in bocca”, si mastica e come si mastica! E quanto sapore ne vien fuori. Nel bauletto abbiamo anche stivato abbigliamento autunnale e abbondante biancheria, non pensiamo di poter fare troppo spesso il bucato.

We finally retired, after many troubles of all kinds and we decided, having a nest egg, make a travel, which, at least I've long dreamed of: to get to Santiago de Compostela , not for devotion, but to share a goal with millions of "travelers" along the road and visit the cathedrals, monuments to human effort. Perhaps my real goal is, however, and even more Lisbon Capo da Roca "Ponta do corn Ocidental continent europeu. Longitude 9 ° 30 'W. Since I the extreme fixed points, because the next trip, I think to do so by the same means to C apo North . (If you want to read the blog to prepare for the new trip, click here North Cape )
We promised to go into camp as little as possible, right when you need to do laundry and shower, it generally serve the excellent facilities found in service stations, in railway stations, museums etc.. etc.. with a little 'organization, purses to hold small towels and a few other small things, and a little' spirit of adaptation, we are unable to maintain sufficient clean.
