Whoopsy Toads

3rd February

Very cold night. At 8.00 this morning, saddlebag 0C and inside 7C. Chilly. But so far we are snug and ok.

Mosied around the walled town of Mertola. I think we must have missed the main attraction but managed to get some shopping.









We have planned a route for the next couple of weeks but because we understand that wild camping around here is easy, we haven't planned in a place to stay tonight. Just feel that we could play it off the cuff.

After only a short drive from Mertola we passed by a lake and saw campers parked up on the other side in an idyllic spot. So decided to join them.















The P sign as we approached had a brand new sign under it saying NO CAMPING CARS. Hmm, there were at least 8 parked up and mostly British.
As soon as we parked up, our neighbour came to enlighten us about things. The sign was brand new and they didn't know whether we would all be thrown off but they had been coming to this spot for 5 years. After chapter and verse on the town's attractions, the menu in the local restaurant and the weather up north, we escaped for our walk.

Kicker is doing his usual 500 yards for our 10 and then stops for a whoopsy. I am ready with my black pooh bag and as I enclose my right hand over it, the ground below my thumb and forefinger moves and jerks my hand up. OMG. Kicker has managed to deposit a deposit on top of 2 large frogs in the middle of their mating activities. Pic here was taken a while later after they had sensibly moved slightly away. I hope it didn't ruin their day.
