Saturday


So far so good from Vigo. We drove a little out of town last night and found ourselves a little campsite in the suburbs with a great beach about 150m down a huge hill. We spent most of the night just hangin out on that beach, watching in the sunset and playing in the sand and the waves. Some of the locals are swimming in the water, but it is still a bit too cold for my liking. The beach is surrounded by Bamboo, which is kind of cool. It is totally like a little locals spot….I think we were the only real tourists out on the beach. We have witnessed some epic driving since we have been here as well. Jill was nearly killed by a bus screaming past us on a windy little street. He had to be doing about 50k around a blind corner and just about took us both out! I think we risk our lives every time we go anywhere near the streets here! We debated a little road spin last night but neither of us fancied the massive hill climbs or crazy drivers. En route a little bit more south today, just out of town to find somewhere more suited to a road spin and a quiet afternoon on the beach!
