Internet access

Apologies for this blog not being updated daily. As you can imagine Internet access is hard to come by in africa, especially when you only have WiFi. So here's an abridged version on the ones I had prepared to keep people updated.

Day 3 . Biarritz to Toledo.

An early start and were off towards Madrid with the hope of staying there overnight. We go in convoy with Jane and Kate from team Witches Abroad. As is normal seamingly there are hundreds of toll roads on the way and we soon reach the Pyrennese. The forcast is for snow but we head on regardless. The hills are fairly steep but we manage to get up them regardless until we reach nearly the highest point on the pass and are stopped by an accident up ahead. The snow starts to creep up the wheel arches and we start to think about being stuck once we can actually move again, but were fine and make it over without too much hassle. We travel through beautifull scenery on virtually deserted roads for many hours until we reach the madness that is madrid. We have made such good time that we decide to carry on towards Toledo which is about an hour south. This was a great ides as we found a beautiful hotel which wasn't too expensive and we end up in some back street pizzaria as it's the only place open.
