Fifth and last day of our bike trip from Santa Comba Dão to Viseu (Portugal) – 22^th June 2013.

“Quinta da Abelenda”

We left “Quinta da Abelenda” after breakfast, caught the train and, as it was still early, we stopped at Mortágua.
We parked our bikes and walked towards the “Parque Verde da Ponte” (Bridge’s Green Park), where we had lunch.
After lunch, we wondered around looking for a few geocaches. We went to a supermarket where, among other things, we bought a cake known as “Pão de Deus” (God’s Bread).

We went back to the train station and, due to a delay, we had to wait a long time for the train. We had to change to another train at Pampilhosa train station, but as the other train was not ordered to wait 3 minutes for our train, we lost the connection to our destiny.

There was another train arriving in about 30 minutes but it was the intercity train, which does not allows the transport of bikes. So, if we wanted to catch that train we had to leave our bikes behind. As Pampilhosa was not far from home, we decided to go back there on the next day to pick up the bikes.

We removed everything from the bikes, parked them outside the train station and locked them.

When we returned to Pampilhosa to pick up our bikes, there wasn’t any sign of them. They had been stolen.

It was how we finish a great trip and how we lost our old but great bikes.
