Zarautz - Tue

Tues 16th Sept 2014

Woke up feeling sick as still no news from Jess. After a few emails we finally hear that she is fine and busy with the work on the campsite where she has no wifi! Funny day and by the time we packed up it was too late to drive to the Aires in Bilbao to then get into the city and explore. Neither of us were fussed about seeing another city(I know we will get some stick!) so we headed up the toll road towards San Sebastian.  Had to turn around as we realised the reception at the site we had just left had not returned our ACSI card (discount camping)! Back on the road again and we went through so many tunnels then towns and we must say they don't look as well looked after (shabbier) as the western side of Northern Spain. We are now in the province of Pais Vasco (Basque country) and all the signs and language do not look or sound Spanish at all! Arrived at camping Gran Zarautz high on a hill overlooking the ocean and the town below. Later on in the evening we had a thunder storm and was great fun watching it from under our awning. As long as it's gone by the morning we will be happy. The weather really does play a huge part in this sort of life - and we have been very lucky so far. Storm over - we watched a good movie - One Chance the true story of Paul Potts. Forgot to say saw a great movie the other night - true again- Philomena with Judy Dench.
