Hi All,
Well, didnt quite get away as planned as really enjoying life here but am going to leave on Thursday as I think the weather is about to change and the Pyrennean mist and fog would be a shock after the lovely few days we've had - I'm told that its very unusual, well, I think thats what they said - my French is improving but sometimes I do think that I'll be sounding like the policeman from Allo Allo! then I meet a Basque speaker so we both just smile- shades of Greece. Have met some amazing people at the hostel- 2 Dutch ladies who had walked from Utrecht already - 1500k's, so didnt think that the next 800 would be a problem - must be crackers. Also a lovely English lady, no spring chicken but an amazing indomitable spirit- she set off this am.
Talking of meeting, there's a great English chap called Adrian, who thinks he can sort out the photo situation, fingers crossed. I'm going to drop him off at the next stopping place - fair exchange to me, however he hasn't been in Betsy while I'm driving up switchbacks, Irenes never been the same, thats why she insists on driving!
Right, must away and get ready for supper- its so much fun, great Basque home cooking, lots of laughter and all in exchange for a couple of hours cleaning in the morning - not bad eh??
Thanks for all emails, keep em coming.

Love reading your updates! Really make me want to pack a bag and join you. Just afraid my French is... Well, I know what "sortie" means and I can say Oo la la. Yip, think that's it.
Dd ☺
