Some dark and brooding skies.... but very temperate if humid weather.
Our travelling companions went of in such of a bus to Bilbao on a quest to visit the Gugganhiem - we went last year so were quite happy to hang out and explore the coast.
Nice coves and lots of rocks for Dr Fred to get his fix....
We found quite a nice campsite - roomy pitches and quite a bit of shade. After a wander around the beach we went back to the van and I sat drawing and reading for a couple of hours... very pleasant, relaxing, and eventually our friends arrived back from Bilbao quite late. We sat out late eating cheese - drinking wine and celebrating our adventure.
We had a late start in the morning... I think the early day before had taken its toll - we all slept late plus, it was gloomy weather. We packed the van up and set off for the next campsite via a place we were hoping would deliver amazing views - Alto de los Tornes... This turned out to be a tiny parking spot but more disappiontingly completley shrouded in clouds..
the ascent was fabulous... amazing limestone peaks rising up above us... the road was alot of hair pin bends and slowly we just got enveloped by the cloud. Nothing to see only headlights of oncoming traffic.
Brief cuppa at the top and then a much more even descent into the valley towards Burgos. As soon as we got under the cloud the sky started to clear... in the distance we could see great peaks once again and blue sky getting bigger.
We drove through an amazing limestone gorge just north of Ona. We stopped to rescue a grasshopper who thought our enchanted forest floor dash board was
home🤣 and Dr Fred went for a wander...
The next camping wasnt far... Seems to be in the middle of nowhere and looking good so far.
Awwhh glad you rescued the grasshopper - he got all muffled up with your fake grass. Looks lovely and where are you planning to see the eclipse from?
