Welcome

Welcome to my 2011 follow up to the hugely successful blog of 'Jotown and Wally on the road'.

Here you'll be able to follow my quiet 'lifestyle',as I wander around the highways,byways,mountains and trails of Europe, in my van affectionately called 'Wally', or further afield using metal wings !

If I'm around where you are, and you want me to call - or visit me...just let me know ..

You can follow my adventures and keep in touch by posting messages whilst I am travelling.

For those of you who are returning for the second season then I expect more messages than in 2010....... this year there is a counter of page views at the foot of the page, so I will be watching.....!

Rainy Days and Sundays…always lose the Cup !

Well, after a disappointing evening/night sat in a bar in Spain, watching Manchester United getting beat by a Spanish team- and been offered a drink from the consolation cup !

I had decided to go to mass, then wander into Potes for a big Sunday lunch…

Unfortunately whilst up at mass in the monastery of Santa Toriebo,the heavens darkened, the thunder roared, and probably lightning was shooting all around …so, as I came out of mass, I had to sit in the cloisters for 30 minutes or so, waiting for the heavy rain to stop, and as i got a brief break in the rain dashed back to the campsite, to Wallys haven and had a pleasant lunch of cheese,salad,salami,bread and a drop of vino, before snoozing the rest of the afternoon, watching the black clouds and thundery intermittent rain pass by.

And the biggest insult….? – having to sit in the bar, watching the Barcelona team celebrating winning the cup, at least they can’t do fireworks very well , it was still daylight  !

Ah well, Sunday…a day to relax, and prepare for the mountains this coming week – if it stops raining !
