Postcards from Mundaka : 071008
Ola,
10hrs45mins & counting till I am outa here. Sorry but I am ready for home, 3 weeks to recharge my travel batteries & then I hit the road for 4 months. Do you blame me? HAHA I hear you cries.
This is San Juan de Gaztelugatze, it is a tiny island on the coast of Biscay belonging to the municipality of Bermeo in the Basque Country. On top of the island is a Hermitage dedicated to San Juan, it dates to the 10th century possibly the 9th. The small church is usually closed (it was today) & dates back as far as the island & appears to have come from the Knights Templar. It has been witness to numerous fires, attacks and ransackings but today stands proud 200 and something steps above sea level.

If you think this is great you should see the 20 and 10 frame stitches I have done. Thanks for the idea Casino, it makes up for the raw steak you have served me night after night.
It rained all day and I packed my bags in an hour.
Yes I am excited to be going home.
Until tomorrow . . winner winner chicken dinner.
Toodaloo
