Going East

3rd March

Saddlebag 16c And about 11c at night.

Need to pick up gas from Vigo as there isn't an outlet again before France. Also at Vigo it is a proper Gas refill place where the nice man fills it for you. So no dramas. We have decided to go inland from here rather than take the coastal route which will be a long and winding way round. There are Aires along the way and the main A roads follow the rivers. The scenery is great with high mountains, deep wide valleys and wide rivers. There is a yellow flowering tree lining the roads and rivers here. Can't find out what they are called, but look glorious at this time of year.









We drive about 120 miles east and locate an Aire at A Rua. It is a large car park right in the river beside a large sports hall and football pitch. It is Saturday, and the boys are playing, so the car park is full, but we squeeze in next to the closed cafe, and take the dogs for a walk by the river. The cafe owner advises that once the football finishes all the cars will go. Great, a nice peaceful evening, we think.

Not sure what is happening here but a number of cars have come into the park at speed and swung round missing us by inches. We move. More come in and still come close. We move again so that now we position ourselves alongside the river in one corner of the car park. Goodnight.
