What drought?

Enjoyable crossing on the ferry - a chance to cach up with John, a decent meal, a good nights rest and then watching the boat approach the Spanish coast. Alas as we disembark it is clear we are in for some seriously wet weather. A 3 hour run along the north coast through torrential rain and standing water was not the plan! Stop for a quick bite and to warm up in Irun and then what we came for - up into the mountains including our first mountain pass as we cross from Spain into France. Still wet and windy, which makes the exposed bends a bit hairy and not quite the view you'd get in the dry, but great none the less. The weather is supposed to get better from here on in.
