Random order

Random order

Now the blog is (fingers crossed!) operational again I'm uploading some of the posts from the "lost weekend". The order is probably a bit messed up so apologies for that.

Apart from doing blog administration there has been a bit of walking going on; we're now down to the small town of El Cuervo, about a third of the 30 km from Lebrija to Jerez de la Frontera. We've stopped to rehydrate and have a spot of lunch in a typical Andalucìan bar, all colourful tiles and loud conversations in the strong southern accent. Due to the heat our ratio of fluid to food intake is about 20 : 1.

Once we've coffee'd and tea'd we'll be making tracks south to the mostly astonished looks of the locals who wouldn't countenance going out in this heat unless they absolutely had to, and certainly not to walk 20 km.
