Sigh.
I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. When one is travelling in the shoulder season, one should not expect perfect conditions all of the time. And it is getting later and later, and we are travelling further northward.
Still, did it have to happen here of all places?
San Sebastian is a beach town in the North East of Spain, almost on the French Border. It is renowned as a beautiful beach resort style city. And it would have been an absolutely beautiful place to chill out, relax and enjoy some wonderful beach style atmosphere... if the skies hadn't opened up on our arrival.
REALLY?
We've been looking to destress from all this travel stuff, sit on a beach, drink cocktails for weeks now. That was why we chose this place. Instead we've had to wrap ourselves up in jerseys and waterproof pants and carry umbrellas with us. Do you know how much fun it is to carry 15kg packs over two kilometers in the rain? I wasn't laughing, I can tell you.
Sigh. Part of me knows I shouldn't be complaining. For goodness sake, we're having the adventure of a life time, doing things we've been planning to do for months now. Still - definite frowny face moment.
Hopefully it'll improve before we leave and we'll be able to share some lovely experiences with you all.
I wouldn't count on it though.
