The long and winding road
Have been travelling in Spain for a week and it is very hot and orange and blue. There are more people on this section which is fun. Although its great to have the tent so we can nook away on our own sometimes, plus they sometimes have pools.mmmmmmmmmmm. We have also been staying in quite a few refuges as there are fewer campsites in españa. This means heaps of bunk beds in the one room and it fels like school camp but with more people snoring. At the moment we are in La Rioja which is a wine growing area so we have been walking through lots of vinyards and also golden fields of various crops. It pretty but with hardly any shade. Lucky we know its important to slip slop slap. It is still quite hilly and prob wont flaten out until we cross the meseta which we think will be like the desert. Have been trying lots of yummy beers, sorry cerversas : )
The descent
The crossing over to Spain was made with a crazy swiss man who jumped like a kangaroo. Hehe. The downhill was very hard and hurt my knees and Bens bottom. He fell over twice in the mud!!! it was the best... but he was alright. The forrests were spooky and every now and then you would break out a have a wonderful view of the mountains. We were so energised by the bottom that we walked another 8km, then collapsed at a nice campsite by a river.
