Notes on the way to Granada..

The trip is becoming more and more interesting as we approach Granda. A few headlines…

Spain is BIG , very big even bigger by Bongo, as negotiating hills is not one of the strengths of the Bongo, so the going can be slow at times as we potter up motorway hills with lorries the size of Texas streaming past at speed caught in their slip streams.

The place is windy, very WINDY next time must bring my kite. Walking along the beach with its sun, sea & waves with wind driving the sea, salt, mist into every exposed bit of the body i.e. face and hand. Result sticky hands, sticky face , glasses fogged over over , cameras lens fogged over. But all v very refreshing indeed.

Spent a semi sleepless night as the wind tried to blow the Bongo over, was tempted to put the tent down as the folk opposite us took down their awning . But when I checked the chair and table outside hadn’t been blown away so the wind wasn’t that bad.



Great views and cloudy formations along the beach and noise of the sea, wave and wind a great aural back drop here at Mar Azul.


BBC access at last - the internet access so far has been to say the least rubbish, making it impossible to listen  to Radio 5 or 4 so I’ve missed my daily fix. It’s a delight to be back in touch and as I type I’m listening to the Five in the Eye Christmas Reviews - very witty even if I do say so myself!
