Leaving in the morning from Occana was great with the sun not quite up to Temperture.We did about 160 KM bfore stopping for breakfast.It was an uneventful run down except for going through a radar trap near Granada at rather an illegal speed.I was driving at that stage and hope only that thepolice were still setting up or something.The bike has behaved perfectly even in the extreme temperatures we have had during the past three days.We have got into the rythmn of doing about 90 minutes nonstop before having a break,and refilling.Shortly after Granada we took a smaller road down towards the coast.This brought us through Alhama de Granada and from there on down to our destination of Velez-Malaga.
The house where we staying belongs to Andys sister who very kindly allowed us to use it. (Thanks).The house is reached down a small lane which leads onto the reservoir by Vinuela.A really beautitful spot .
We parked the bike and then stripped off and jumped into the pool which was it seems just waiting for us.Anybody who knows me will know that swimming is not really my thing , but this was fantastic.Having cooled off we set about unloading the bike
and opening up the house to air it.It was still only about 16.30 so we decided to go into Velez and use the internet.As it happens the very first place we pulled up to had free WIFI AND icecream and juices.This was the first time in days that we did not have all the kit on.Short sleeved shirts and helmets was enough.On the way back from Velez we stopped to pick up a few beers and a couple of pizzas which we enjoyed that evening , sitting up on the roof terraza loking over the lake..........Chillout pure !!!
On Sunday we will drive out to the Airport to collect my sister Siobhan (Andies missus) and the kids.No,not all on the bike !!!
Bed is calling................
