Putting the clocks forward twice in a short period has put
our body clocks right out and we were very late to bed and subsequently late
getting up. However the local Guardia Civil obliged us by landing their
helicopter right next to us to pick up a couple of the local cops, who they
brought back an hour later.

| The aire at Ampudia |
A slightly hazy day today though still hot so we did a bit
of cleaning after servicing the van then just lazed about. It’s Good Friday and
obviously everywhere is closed. The other vans had left early so apart from a
couple that stopped to see the castle we were on our own until a Brit van
turned up who looked familiar. A little later we got chatting and found that
they were Funsters – Skipper64 – and we’d met them somewhere in Morocco last
year.
The chat turned into a beer-o-clock as the sun slowly went
down until a late teatime. Very pleasant and it’s one of the things about
motor-homing that these things happen quite spontaneously. Later we heard the
drums as Ampudia had its own Good Friday procession round the town, though we
didn’t actually see it, as well as a band and choir obviously near the church.
We've had no internet today although last night the
Portuguese sim worked for a while but then probably ran out of credit. Not
going to buy any more in Spain so it may take a day or two to update the blog.
