Apart from the first km climbing a dirt track behind a cement works and having to circumnavigate a fast flowing torrent down a slippery culvert that dropped over a waterfall, today was splendid.
The track went right over the top of an impressive road tunnel, and from there into more and more remote country and a lovely Parque Natural. One of the nicest features was a gentle river cascading down a kind of polished yellow sandstone, but there was also pretty forest, and flower-lined tracks.
The route took us through some charming old abandoned villages, and we had great views of a big fox - not at all scared of us. We bumped into a guy out on a day-walk, one of the first times we've seen anyone on our track. He wouldn't allow us to take a photo of him!
Anyway it was a great day and we managed the big climbs, and there was no tormenta (storm) to deal with. Rob invented a new way of keeping cool by putting silver foil over his cap. I decided it was probably a good way to fry his brain.
And we took our first "selfie". Ha.
What a cutie (the fox) but you guys look pretty sweet as well.
ReplyDeleteWas it snowing or does your beard really look that white?
ReplyDeleteThe cascading stream looks amazing, did you manage to dip your feet?
Yes, white as the purest snow. My follicles no longer produce pigment. On another scientific matter the waterfalls are coated with calcium carbonate.

Thanks for your (cheeky) comments Sam. Rob would make a good Father Christmas with his beard. No swims so far but hope to jump in the Mediterranean when we get there.
