After saying goodbye to Ainslie, we set off once more, this time heading for Villa Ronara [our family house] at Campoverde. It took us most of the day to get there, and once arrived, we went straight down to the Pizzeria for a bite to eat. It was still just about warm enough to sit outside [with a fleece on!] After that, we called in at Don Pepe’s for a coffee and brandy. All the family were there and greeted us very warmly as usual. Africa has had her hair cut stylishly short and looked very different – much more sophisticated.
Waded through more washing the next day although the weather wasn't particularly good for drying. Margaret and Greg called up at 6.00ish and we all sat in the van having drinks, nibbles and a good old chin wag. Then out to "That Place on Campoverde" for a meal, afterwards next door into Sylvio's and, finally, down to Don Pepe's for a coffee. Saw Jimmy Ward on the way through the village; he was really pleased to see us and might catch up with him later today for a proper chat. Also hoping to catch up with Susannah and Jose.
Tomorrow morning, we are hoping to get an early set-off and reach Zaragoza; then we will cross the Pyrenees and find another site; and on Monday we hope to reach Richard and Jackie just outside Angouleme in SW France.
