Rain, wind and no surf in Spain

The wet and cool weather continued for the next 3 days while we waited around in Zarutz for the weather and waves to improve. So after taking a couple of drives in the Wagen, checking our emails and generally sitting around for 3 days, we decided that we should move 20 or 30km along the coast to another village.

When I went in to the camp ground office to pay, I noticed a 7 day forecast printed out sitting on the desk. 7 days of poor weather and according to the bloke at the desk, equally poor surf. 'If you go 200km south, you will find good weather' he says to me. Right, thats it.

Out to the car where Melinda is waiting and I tell her 'we're going south 200km or until we hit good weather'. After a quick look at the map, we plot a course to Salamanca and our planned 30km drive turns in to around 350km.

And sure enough, the further south we went, the better the weather got. By the time we got to Salamanca late in the day, it was blue skies and warm weather.
