We had another night of relatively good sleep punctuated by the lilo rapidly deflating. We got up early and had most things packed up and ready to go by 8.30. About 9.00 we left the campsite and headed for Pamplona. From Pamplona we drove to Logrono. We had a stop off for breakfast between Pamplona and Logrono at a place called Camino (de Santiago). The scenery between Logrono and Soria is particularly beautiful there are some fabulous villages set amongst rocky hillsides. The roads are a delight to drive on, at times you never see another car for miles.
At about 5 pm we put the kettle on while driving and made ourselves a cup of tea, Thanks Glen, kettle really appreciated. It’s a bit scarey driving along with boiling water inches away but we manage. We eventually arrived in Cuenca at about 7.30pm. We went to a tourist information place to ask about campsites, there was only one about 6 miles away. Bill seemed more inclined to find a hotel although I was up for another camping night. He said he had hit a wall and was really tired, then he added “I’m also worried about getting legionnaires disease from blowing up that bloody lilo again”. That did it for me, we found a hotel and are now comfortably ensconced in the lounge. Val
Apologies to all our followers for chickening out again. I keep telling Val it's because I want to show a girl a good time! We've proved that we're still capable of appreciating life under canvass, why labour the point? - You really do feel you are back to basics when you can hear the nocturnal sounds of all those on neighbouring pitches - well, in my case just the low frequency ones like snoring, breaking wind etc. and, thankfully, not the babies crying or anything else high-pitched! Hopefully the shower tonight won't be as powerful as the one at the last campsite. I felt I was being shot full of arrows. Appropriate for a campsite in San Sebastian - but I prefer a gentle flow not pressure blasting! Even after frequent contact with the earth to re-inflate the bloody lilo, I never got that dirty! Bill
Hola you 2
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having quite an adventure! - we also had BAD LILO NIGHTS in Ireland so we understand just how you are feeling.
The dongle finally arrived today. When we came home from sunny Fleetwood I found a card with your post saying the parcel had been taken back because it required a signature. I rang them up and said 'just put it through the letterbox' but they said 'no, it must be signed for' so I told them to deliver it to me. OK they said, anytime between 7am and 7pm but it never came. Anyway, I went to see if there was another card from them this evening and lo - they had pushed it through your letter box - only just though as the parcel is quite big. I will post it to you tomorrow.
Drive slower so that you dont have to wait so long for it in Vejer!
Looking forward to the next bit of blogg
Love Jean and Ron xx
