Sunday 17 January

Decision already made to stay here another night, a casual start to the day with our now usual bacon and egg breakfast. It wasn't long before the race cars started up in earnest and the sound stage starting belting out disco music. Also the park-like area we were pitched next to started to fill with locals who came to see the spectacle.

After breakfast we walked up the short steep hill to the town intent on visiting the market – duff information again as apparently it's now on Saturday! Nevertheless the shops were open and small purchases made before retiring to a pavement cafe to join others in the group in a refreshing coffee.

Back to the van for lunch and a quiet(?) afternoon ignoring the noise. Then Jamie managed to get out and thought it was great fun chasing the local kids, who in turn thought it also great fun to run away. Unfortunately they led him away from us and panic ensued as he ran to where all the action was taking place. Eventually I managed tp persuade the kids he was chasing to come back to me and succeeded in grabbing the little bxxxxx. We're a lot more careful now!


One of our morning purchases was some beautiful steak, cut straight off the haunch, which we had for tea. We knew it was genuine because the haunch still had other, well, bits attached that you don't normally see and never on a cow.........!
