We arrived in Organya at about 4 - we were very temped to get another couple of hours in but this was our last chance of accommodation for quite awhile . There's nothing in Organya to talk about but it did have a sleepy bar and more importantly a casa rural . God knows how they make a living - but they do . The Segre river runs through the village and - apparently - the area is very important for bird life . We actually did see Vultures - must have been about 50 - circling us . Obviously we were cycling to slow !
One has got to hand it to my mate Chris - he will always have ago at speaking the 'lingo' - only sometimes it does get misinterpreted by the natives. He endears himself to land ladies and waitresses because of this - but sometime it gets him into all sort of trouble - as what happened on this occasion . Chris - very parched after the long days ride asked the 'lady of the house' for a 'narenja funta' - I think all Chris wanted was an an Origina or a Fanta - but clearly the 'lady of the house' did not take it that way - she gave him the evil eye never spoke to him again for the rest of the evening! He never did did get his Fanta !
We had along days cycle ahead of us so we're up and on our way by 7-30 . It's been hot in Spain but at this time of the day in the mountains it's lovely and cool . We followed the road north and turned right and up towards Sorribes and Saldes through the Serra del Cadi . We stayed on this road for most of the day then another right at Guardia de Bergueda to Berga .
Arriving in Berga at 4 ish we were again tempted - but not for long - to get to Ripoll . We are planning for tomorrow to be the last day - but it looks a long haul . We're staying in a quite modern hotel and I'm writing this sitting in front of the air conditioner - full on ! Lovely CU
