day 25: Sagunto to Bugarra

long long long hot day... 60 miles but it took us from 6 in the morning to 9 at night to do it...

temperatures over 40 C stopped us about 15 miles from the campsite at about midday...

so we sat in the shade of a big palm tree eating our lunch of yoghurt and fruit, then whiled away the hours until about 7 in a cafe, eating ice cream and playing dominos.

the last couple of hours still found us streaming with sweat, though, as the sun refused to leave us alone in the evening!

Here is a picture of Claire at the campsite, exhausted but happy to be about to go to bed! (notice sexy anti-mosquito get-up).
