We couldn't get out of the site at Bergondo quick enough aiming to move to a 3 star site nearer to Coruna and about 10 miles away. A journey which should have taken 30 mins took us nearly 2 hours with confidence in Daniel the voice at an all time low. We got to Los Manzanos at lunchtime - a far superior place - lunched on sausage, cheese and hard bread then relaxed. M1 cleaned the bikes with great relish then both departed on their respective bikes to independently explore the local points of interest. Good cycling with quite a few manageable hills. Ben Smith (Ann Chadwick´s son who runs his own language school in Coruna) had been in contact so we taxied to La Masia tapas bar in the Plaza de Vigo where we met Ben, his brother Ollie, Ben´s girlfriend Eva (a lawyer from Lugo), Ann (an Australian language student) and several others for a most delightful evening of wine and seafood in the company of these bright, lively and interesting young people who made light of the age gap! Ben has agreed to take us round Coruna on Friday to pay homage to Sir John Moore´s last stand. We are lucky.
