Because of the late breakfast, the puncture and the hills, it was getting late when I reached Guarda, the highest town in Portugal, so I wasn't happy to find that the bypass, which would have taken me straight to the restaurant and thern to the hotel, didn't permit bikes. I tried a few alternative routes unsuccessfully, and eventually had to come along here and go up and down the hill a few times. It was nearly dark when I reached the restaurant and then I didn't get to the hotel until an hour after that. I was impressed with my bike lights though. I hadn't tried them before. I must say that I'm also very pleased with the GPS. It would have been much harder to find my way without it.
