Matador at dawn...

A dawn chorus departure Sunday morning sees us startle a deer and a bunch of bunnies as we pass over Haldon hill at 7.30. Bizarrely, a man dressed as a matador is thumbing a lift?! Eating our picnic lunch on Plymouth Hoe, we watch the Pont Aven sail into The Sound. It has taken some getting used to fully laden bikes again.
I've 2 panniers totalling 13kg and Mike the same plus a 3kg tent.
The other passengers queuing for the ferry are caravanners, and lots of middle-aged friendly motorcyclists.
Eighteen very calm hours to Santander, then time to sightsee the cathedral and city centre and take on provisions.


Then off to meet our first ever Spanish "Warm Shower" host, Jose. He collects us from in front of the Casino to guide us the short distance to his home.
