Pamplona to Olite

What is it with old people, well this old person anyway? Yesterday I left the squeegee on the bonnet, today I left the garage door unlocked and it flew open as we drove around a roundabout. Tomorrow we stay put!

We really have got into this trip now, helped by driving just 30 miles instead of 300! We are at the lovely medieval village of Olite, one of the ancient royal seats of the Kings of Navarre. In addition to the amazing architecture is the amazing agriculture, more specifically the vineyards. Apparently the Mediterranean climate (it’s zero today!) lends itself to making this an important wine producing area. The £1 bottle was pleasant enough to wash the bread, cheese and paté down for lunch.

To give you some idea of how cold it’s been we’ve just gone through an 11kg bottle of LPG in 5 days! On a positive note the sun is due to appear tomorrow for a few days
