Same Shirt, Different day-2012 Adventures of the "Devonport Wonder Babes"

Wednesday 26 September Setienes to Llanes Spain

Late slow start this morning as all still asleep at 8 am. Body clock is getting a bit confused as sun doesn’t rise until nearly 8 am and now starting to get dark by about 8pm.

Now nice very hot water flowing but crisis with shower this morning when after the second person in the apartment had showered the hose to shower head split so Lyndsay and I had our showers kneeling on floor of shower. Then I had to use my iTranslate again to tell the owners “El agua de la ducha es muy caliente ahora pero la manguera de la ducha esta roto”.

Muesli and fruit, eggs on toast and fig jam on toast for breakfast this morning.(The fig jam is the wonderful  Corsican Fig and Hazel nut jam Philippe gave us in Nice)

 

Managed to get away by 10.30 am heading for somewhere between here and Bilbao where we have accommodation booked on Friday and Saturday.Travelled partly by motorway and partly by back roads.

First stop was at Cabo Penas, another peninsula about an hour’s drive away with a lighthouse at the end and a maritime museum with a giant squid which we gave a miss!!

 

But by the lighthouse itself there was a wonderful old fashioned foghorn and then at the café right at the end there was a man fishing off the edge of a 100 metre cliff edge !!

 

In the café we also discovered that the strange device we have seen around is something for decanting wine.

Lunch stop was at a small beach further along coast where there were about 4 people in surfing but a bit too rough for us to even contemplate a swim.

 

Continued on to Llanes a small coastal town with lots of one way streets  and after a few false starts we finally found an apartment in Apartamentos San Pedro, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms  and lounge with parking at door for €54 a night for 4 people. Will stay 2 nights here!

 

Unpacked and then went for a walk around the beach ( looks good for swimming) and old town, found an antique shop,back to apartment and then out for dinner at Covadonga Restuarant about 8.30 pm. A bit disappointing
