Burgos is mentioned in all the books so we decided we needed to visit. The journey was a great typical Wishstreaming drive of mountains, gorges, valleys and beautiful scenery. We decided to go for a campsite to do some laundry and charge up stuff, but the site open mentioned itinerants and dodgy electrics. Oh well, no option here. But actually, they had got rid off the itinerants and the site is lovely. Open and sunny and next to a walk/ cycle path to the river. It seems the whole population of Burgos, like the population of the good van Wishstream are on a keep fit drive. Hordes of people wearing a mix of smart fashionable gear from the ankle up are strutting down the river. All ages, all types, and all wearing trainers! It is a thought provoking time, and I wish I had asked about it as we were both amazed.
Meanwhile, back at the site, the wifi would be fixed TOMORROW. The washing machine would be up and running TOMORROW and the electrics are still dodgy.
Talking of warmth, Burstener have not thought this gas heating system through. The thermostat for it is cited on the side of the oven. So, if you are using the oven to prepare a meal. ( pretty reasonable I would have thought) then you have to hope the warmth from the meal will keep you going, as the automatic gas heating system won't click in until the oven cools.
It is clearly going to be a cold night but that's ok, we are prepared with our so called low wattage Kamper electric heater which has blown out more electric fuses on our world Tour than you can shake a stick at. In fact JC now refuses to operate it. But I cross my fingers, take a deep breath, and often it works fine like this. Tonight, the crossed fingers are doing the trick and it is toasty.
