Day 3 May 3rd 271 miles. Bordeaux - Biarritz - across into Spain(!) - Vittoria - Bergos The Famous Five meet up



Smokey 2's replacement arrived at 5am at our 'luxurious' Aire after a marathon drive. Although it is a new (1988) 110 (cough), at least Paul and his brother Lance were with us, we were now four. For his trouble at arriving,  Paul was awoken after a very short nap by one of our brethren. It was good to meet them, even in these tiring circumstances.  They were both to prove very interesting travelling companions.
So onto the French border into Spain we drove, then over the Pyrennes switchback road mountain tunnels to a fab campsite at Bergos (statue of shepherd and his dog) where Barney was already set up. We were welcomed by Mick, Louise and William: the Famous Five were together!





Time for the bar, methinks...

  1. Great to read this and that you have got thus far with no major mishaps. Long may that continue. I still have a vision of Mick still rebuilding his 300 tdi and Robin and Patrick still putting final touches to the carawagon - like windows for example, while John keeps quietly going on. Cant wait for the next instalment. Alex
