Another island trip today. Illa de Arousa (Galician way of saying Isla) a gorgeous island with pretty little coves and freezing water like the whole of the Atlantic coast of Spain and Portugal. Played some beach tennis to get warm enough to face a dip in the water. None of the beach showers worked so we finally got to use the solar shower we´ve been lugging around with us for the last three weeks, basically a black bag with a small hose and minute shower head on...

Dodgy b***** tried to force the window down on the front passenger side and busted the window which has meant that we have come into Gijon to do some running repairs on the nad. Thought we would be ok to...

I can't believe it's almost been two weeks since we left. So here we are in the Picos de Europa, back in Asturias again. We've just done a walk in the hills (3 hours), it started to rain and we decided to call it quits and head back to the van. This photo is not one of ours, we're finding it hard to upload photos at intenet cafes so at the moment we're just nicking them off Google.
