Having traveled down the length of France from Dieppe in 3 days we arrived at a lovely place called Ondres. This is where the beach is long and golden and the waves come rolling in.
We took the dogs onto the beach first thing in the morning and felt very blessed to have stopped in this place to recharge our batteries and let the dogs run free before heading off to cross the Spanish border which was about 45km away.
We headed slowly south through Spain and our first overnight spot was a free aire not far from Burghos in a lovely old town called Briviesca.
We did a quick stroll around the lovely old city stopping at the Plaza Mayor and the two churches. The place was almost devoid of people and there was not much of a vibe but the buildings are gorgeous.
After a peaceful nights sleep at the free aire we continued heading south.
We had planned a stop not far from Bejar but unfortunately we did not feel particularly safe as there were some 'dodgy' looking people around and we felt unable to leave Roma for a stroll around.
So with plan B under our belts we headed further south. It was a very long day driving but we finally reached an ACSI campsite just outside of Plasencia. The sun was shining and the temperature had climbed 10 degrees from our initial earmarked spot. We were both happy bunnies.
The next day we decided to recharge our batteries and the doggies and went for a hike around the reservoir which was a short stroll from the campsite. Our hearts were lifted and the place was teaming with birdlife etc and oh so peaceful. The dogs were also in their element. It was just what was need before heading further south in the van.
