What a couple of plonkers . We started the day by taking the wrong fork out of the village and ended up 30km out of our way . It was a tough climb that we did not need to do ! The beautiful thing about having someone with you is that you can share the blame . But on this occasion I am - I swear - completely blameless . I was not the map man ! My case rests!
The trouble with Espana is that once out of town you might not pick up a sign post for a hundred miles or so - so beware. Thank God I was not the map man !
I know I go on about food and stuff - probably more than the actual bike ride - but where you end at the end of the day can be crucial .
Last night was a Hostel de Rurel - nothing in its self one might think - however - this one had a Michelin Star - and we're we in for a treat !
Spaghetti to start - just lightly tossed in oil & garlic - braised best end neck of lamb in pimento & rosemary sauce - then peaches braised ( again ) in something rather delicious with home made ice cream . Chris had a salad followed by some cod . No wonder he took the wrong turn out of town this morning !
We actually saw an Eagle carrying of a rather large snake - but today was largely about catching up lost time . From Rioja to Navarra to Zargossa - wheat & sunflowers to vines back to agricultural . Bull fighting is over for the season- so The Olympics is taking president - and isn't it fantastic ! CU
