I am fortunate enough to have visited Lisbon several times over the years. And I really love the city.

Having been there more than 50 times over the past 15 years, I have gotten to know the city quite well.

I thought I would tell you guys what is my favourite thing to do if I have a day off in Lisbon when I am there for work.

“Are you from Mexico” is usually the way people greet me. I am wearing my Mexico cycling jersey that I bought when I was touring Mexico by bicycle. Most people in the interior of Brazil hardly ever see a foreigner. So the people of Piaui are often not aware that I do not look very Mexican. But they are also happy and friendly when I tell them I am from Denmark.

Here is another update from the biking viking who is riding around Northeast Brazil at the moment, and cycling the Sertao.

It has been 4 days since I set off from Teresina. I am now in a small village in the state of Piaui. Sipping a cold beer while the trucks are driving by and the kids are playing football next to the restaurant.
