Greetings from Avignon

Hallo to everyone. We are having a fab time on our moonhoney. We left Bilbao to go to the Basqua area of the Pyrenees and stayed at a lovely campsite in Lekunberri between San Sebastian and Pamplona. Very beautiful area both cities well worth a visit and great walking in the mountains. Next on to Pechon camping on a cliff edge near lovely beaches. Pechon near to Santander. After this further West down the coast to Foz, very disappointing and really bad storm. Then on to Santiago de Compostela. Very beautiful and interest place and great campsite and food but too many hysterical pilgrims for Sam. Next to Portugal to try to do some walking. Fundeo very lovely area but no information on walking and risk of forest fires. Sam also got bitten by a large mosquito and her right foot and ankle swelled up so she couldnt walk anyway. So gave up on Portugal and will go back with more info. another time. Travelled back in to Spâin to Cordoba. Excellent place, lovely little hotel, good food, nice people and interesting buildings. Then on to the mountains of Malaga to stay for a few days with Sams friend Andrea and her family in a lovely villa. Very relaxing and fun. Surroundings beautiful. A big thanks to Andrea and her sister Fiona. Next to Valencia briefly thank goodness for Hotel Ibis. Valencia looked lovely by night and we intend to go back again in the future. Our most exciting journey then occured when we got caught in the Pyrenees in a violent hail storm. Stayed in Girona which was great but quite flooded particularly the backstreets which were about a foot deep in large hailstones and the firebrigade and police were trying to shove them down the storm drains.
Finally in to La Belle France to Perpignan. Interesting place great food and booze and people very nice and hospitable. We got very drunk in a locals bar and then had very bad hangovers the next day. Now in beautiful Avignon about to go exploring. A big thanks to Annette, Troy and Timothy for the Wedding Photos. More photos of our trip to follow a.s.a.p
