San Sebastien

Wed.29^th  May :

The respite from the rain yesterday didn’t last long, just long enough for us to walk into town to find a computer shop to do some emailing, blogging etc., buy a bagette to make a lunch and to get almost home.  After we’d eaten and cleaned up, we decided to move to a camping park with power…the park was opposite a beach which was wild and woolly and not one bit inviting.  Now and then the rain eased but unfortunately it didn’t actually stop, so the plan to venture into the Pyrenees this morning was changed and we are now in San Sebastian, crossing the France/Spain border right on 12 noon.  We drove through the city hoping to park and walk around but couldn’t find a place there to accommodate Boris, so headed out to the ‘aires’.  On the way out of the city we found a parking place close to the funicular, 

so we paid the 3euros each to ride to the peak where we had a magnificent view of San Sebastian and its surrounds…AND…as a rare treat the sun came out and shone done on us for a couple of hours! 

Sadly, it didn’t stay around and the rain came again.  It’s been on and off since, at times quite heavy.  We did go for a walk during one of the off periods, not into the city as it’s a bit far but just locally…there is a university nearby, it’s a quite attractive area with cafes and shops where we bought a Spanish to English dictionary. We just managed to get back to Boris as the rain came again. Steak and vegies for dinner and a game of scrabble. What will tomorrow bring?
