It was quite a treat to wake up to a still morning. The sun is shining, it’s warm and the wind which has tormented us at Conil for the past few weeks has receded. Our view from the van as we ate breakfast was a large concrete wall. Like all the other concrete walls at Camping El Pino this one is painted green. It is not any easier on the eye for this and we are still squashed onto a plot barely big enough for a tent.

Then, after breakfast, a stroke of good fortune as Joe spotted a different pitch just 50m away which had been vacated by a large motorhome. We had a good look at this plot and decided to swap pitches, the caravan being just a 10 minute journey away via the motor-mover.

Our new pitch is much better. We can erect our sun canopy and there is room for the car.

This afternoon there was even room for a pop-up bike repair shop as we finally replaced our bike tyres – the Continental tyres we had purchased some 10 years ago and which have suffered on a single puncture between us.

Needless to say another 4 Continentals were popped onto the bikes.

The move and bike repairs took all day and it was finally time for an ice cold beer and a BBQ.

Our new pitch is is a far cry from 145 and we will most likely stay the planned two weeks.
