part 1 done & dusted....

whole deck to ourselves, parked right outside the doors.
week at the 'chateau' then long drive to Lourdes in one hit.
over the Pyrenees in rain & snow, with the pass we were going to use blocked with the white stuff, cue 50m detour!
long drive down to Cartagena via Zaragoza, 4 days at friends, then 4 days at another friends place in Torrevieja.
up to Santander via Salamanca for long ferry back to Portsmouth

always thought France was big but Spain, just so vast & desolate in places.

4000kms of my 5k limit done already..oops!
& sooooo nice to be able to hear music properly :cool:
