11th December

We have moved into Galicia and are heading for Portugal. We don't intend to stay in Spain for much longer as it is a little wet and deserted. We struggled to find an open campsite last night as we arrived late from Santiago de Compostela. Graham being the hardy adventurer he is did not give up when we found our destination closed but scrambled across the fields in the dark towards a light. Before he knew it he had fallen down an open drain hole - the Spanish donot have the same concern for health and saftey as the Brits. Annie was beginning to wonder what had happened to him when he returned wet to the waist. We finally found a campsite after a friendly local cafe owner searched through her phonebook to help us. Once again it was the Biscuit who saved the day by connecting with the woman's 2 month old! She looked on with the maturity of a 3 month old as her fellow baby began to cry for food. "Why is the baby crying" she seemed to say, "I never do that".

  1. Just catching up with your post-UK experiences. Love the reporting and pictures - and amused that you've both managed to fall into wet things - hope this doesn't become a theme! Hope this posts - not sure I've got the hang of this yet. Love Suex
