A Fistful of €uros

2019 sees the Wild Hogs, Woody and Grizzly, embark on another marathon tour. After the cold snowy mountains of Norway in the north, they now take on the hot dusty plains in the south, touring the Iberian peninsula. They’ll come together to begin their journey in Portsmouth, sailing to Bilbao, before spending around 30 days trekking through Spain, Portugal and into the Pyrenees of Andorra and France, before returning to Bilbao and Portsmouth. It's an epic journey totalling some 4250 road miles.

Dinner

Went down for dinner at 8pm. Told it was half past. Waited until 8:40. Menu all in Spanish. Found a special Sunday menu. Translated and chose what we'd have. Guy says no, not today, despite it saying Domingo 30th. Away he goes and brings noches menu, so we gather other was lunch.

Sanch had cod again, me chicken escalope. Sliced into mine to discover if wasn't cooked properly, so back it went.

Pudding was from a different menu again. Cheesecake for Sanch, cheesecake with honey for me. Waitress came back. Can't have cheesecake but bizarrely, can have it with honey!

Barely any English spoken here, so does make it difficult. Oh for a babel fish!

(“The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it.)

We head further north tomorrow. We'll still be basking in scorching sunshine by the looks of it. Long may it continue.
