It's funny how just one mosquito can ruin a nights sleep…. Having loaded the bike I thought I would visit a nearby Honda dealer as I was having problems with adjusting the chain… it was done-up by a 73 year old with a long handled torque wrench!!!
I arrived in good time but like everything else in this part of the world; it's was closed closed.
So taking advantage of flat concrete surface - I removed all the luggage and panniers and set to work… all sorted in 10 minutes.
In the main, the roads were boring with a few good looking areas. Then having crossed over a hugh lake / inland sea, I then rode through miles and miles of olive groves - fabulous.
Soon enough I was passing into Spain - unnoticed…. Now it's time to head to the chosen campsite - I passed the location 3 times - it's just not there. Asked Gertie Garmin for another … that one looked like an untidy farm yard… move on Nigel. Give me another I said to Gertie…. Gates closed. Let try another: no trace. Bugger it - it's getting late and it looks like rain - found a good looking Hotel : how much !!!! Lets try another : shabby but cheaper…. and the Wi-Fi isn't working!!! Anyhow Spain 4 : Nigel 0.
So here I am sitting at a street cafe using their Wi-Fi and drinking strong coffee !!! Just in time as I hear a clap of thunder overhead…. Now heavy rain and a thunder storm….
Tomorrow is planned to head south passed Saville and try my luck with campsites!!!
