Staying at: Camping Igueldo, San Sebastian
Date: Monday 7th April 2008
Song of the Day: Misty Frequencies – Che Fu
Distance Travelled: 180.3 Miles
Never believe anything that you see or hear in the movies. For example, the rain in Spain falls mainly wherever the hell it likes, generally on us; and we have not gotten anywhere near the plains yet.
I chose Misty Frequencies as the song of the day for two reasons, 1/ due to the previously described inclement weather, and 2/ because today saw a very sad goodbye to the Chateau where we had such a fantastic weekend. We finished the weekend off last night with a bit of a dance party in the gambling room which went until the wee small hours (which wasn’t good for those of us with early starts), and caused me to have a very hoarse voice in the morning (but when Bohemian Rhapsody is playing, you have to sing). It was sad to say goodbye to some old friends and to quite a few new ones too, but I want to thank everyone for making this a really enjoyable (and very intoxicated) weekend, and hope we can catch up with you all for a beer or three when we are back in July.
We took Erica and Rickard back to the train station in Bordeaux and then went back to the motorway to head south for Spain. Due to the Schengen agreement, there is no longer passport control between France and Spain (and lots of other European countries) so we were both disappointed not to get stamped through to Spain. The journey was uneventful, and we even managed to find the camp site after only getting lost once (new record). But by the time we were set up, we were both exhausted, and yours truly had a kindy nap in the van which, along with the rain that rolled in about 3 o’clock, screwed up any sight-seeing. So roll on tomorrow.
