Hi Lyle, thanks for all your comments which were fun to read! And it's a big thank you for that fabulous journal you wrote, which I was referencing the whole way, including food recommendations. One of the best meals of the trip was at Lasai in Bilbao. After that meal Bruce said let's just copy them from here on in. A delicious lunch at Pont 9 in Camprodon (I think we even sat at the same table). And we were really looking forward to those scallops at Mala Gana in Sant Llorenc, but the restaurant has closed down (I think we ended up at the pizza place). Hopefully you're planning a 2025 trip!

Every trip is enhanced by a good train story - after the fact of course! Thanks for the journal and the chance to get your perspective of this lovely part of the world.

I guess the other 5 were off on a break.

Looks like this is an everyday occurrence in Torla. We had cows in the tunnel entering town and sheep(each on with a bell) by the hotel window at daybreak.

Great that you met Dany and Lucia. Didn't know that they also ran this little bar (it was closed tight when we were there!)

Funny, we didn't see the Bar sign! there were so many sheep around making so much noise that that was our focus.

I'm just echoing Steve and Robyn's comments. Great to see your journal and trip here. Although it's territory we went through recently, it's always refreshing, and feels like something new, to see it through someone else's eyes and experience.

Us too! We're quite happy to sit around watching life unfold around us. We have conversations making up the imagined stories of people around us, who they might be, what they do, what's going on at the table etc

Your train story was scarier! Seeing one of us pull out of the station without the other would be my worst train nightmare.

We were so close this time, it has to happen one of these years!

Thanks Robyn for the encouragement! It was actually fun writing it up and reliving the trip all over again. Amazing how many small details are forgotten in such a short space of time.

Thanks Steve and so glad you made it to Valencia unscathed. It was alarming to read the reports on the news and then realising that's exactly where you were. You two are unbelievably hardy!
