Day 10 Salamanca - Bajar 86.9km cycled

 The first break down!!..2 spokes snapped in rear wheel, so had to rush around getting that sorted, anyway got a chap to mend it for 12 euros, so pleased abou that, especially as another guy wanted 55 euros for a new wheel
 Final walk around Salamanca...literally every building was one you wanted to stop and photograph...
 ...like I was saying!
...Its an ecentric museum about everyhting, the best bit though was this window..

 This was Spain equivalent to Oxford in the 1200´s, and just one dreaming spire..

 The long road ahead to Caceras..Looks like Arizona...Was great, had a tail wind for once and cruised
 ..The start of my sky obsession...With a road that straight I had to photograph something!..
 ..and again
 ...Oh, lets get the bike in there to prove it really me...
 ..another long road, and another bit of blue sky
 ...Ah..and 400 miles done!!!..Hurah
 Lunch!..I stumbled upon this abandoned vineyard that yielded some food!...
 ...Going for the artistic staetment
 ..and finally the Via De La Plata...
 Getting up into the mountians again...
 Self portrait..
 And its about this time that my rear wheel goes again!!..ANOTHER spoke snaps!..great..up in a mountain and about 10km for Bajar...so I push her up the hill, then slowly limp her into Bajar...
 ...still had time for some pics though..Getting to the highest point of my trip
..and there we go...good to know its all downhill next...
