Today started with an early morning mission: find a toilet in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when we found it, It wasn\u2019t just any ole toilet. It was one of those futuristic self-cleaning boxes. The kind where the door locks behind you, the toilet seat folds itself down, and you just trust the process. I must admit, with my claustrophobia I was a little nervous I might get locked in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re done, there\u2019s no flush button or anything. You press the exit button and the entire room gives itself a full clean. Slightly terrifying, and a little creepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our next mission was to find somewhere to dump our wees. I navigated us to a dump station beside a lake, and we both had a flashback to 2011. Mike got a flat tyre in this exact same spot! Funny how random places can unlock memories like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After some lunch and a short walk, we headed on again, deciding to find somewhere to camp for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We found a free place to stay for the night. It was one of those campervan-only spots where you can park for 24 hours. It looked perfectly fine. Other people were staying there. But for the first time on this trip, something just felt\u2026 off. It didn\u2019t have the vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn\u2019t say anything at first because Mike was tired and ready to stop, so we climbed in the back for a nap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few minutes later Mike said, \u201cI don\u2019t like this place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instant relief. So it wasn\u2019t just me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neither of us could explain why, but the vibe felt weird, so we decided to trust our gut and move on. We figured it was probably time for a proper campground anyway. We needed showers and to do laundry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We ended up finding a lovely campsite near the beach for only 16 euros, which felt like a bargain. I\u2019ve seen camping car places charge more than that and not even include showers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we settled in for the afternoon. The sun finally came out, and so did the awning. After all the cold weather we\u2019ve been having, it felt so good just sitting outside soaking up the warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beach nearby was long and sandy, but the sea was wild and rough. In the distance we could see the Pyrenees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re only about two hours drive from Spain now\u2026 although in campervan time, who really knows how long that means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
