Hi everyone.
Managed to log on in Mora and can not believe it is a week since we left the UK, the weather down was interesting to say the least!. it snowed most of the way until we came out of the mountains then it was glorious sunshine for about 2 hours driving, then it snowed again.
Up in the mountains on our first nights car parking the temperature fell away to daft degrees and everything froze up, including Sandra's and my noses the only thing poking out of the sleeping bag. The front of the motor home looked like a big giant ice lolly and stayed that way until we hit sea level.
On our way on the last leg to Ginestar after our second nights car parking we stayed over night in a lovely stopover in Spain, I bet it is crawling with motor homes in the summer, as it was there was only us there, another night with snow falling but luckily it didn't settle.
We finally arrived in Ginestar on the 7th Wednesday and the weather was absolutely glorious with clear blue Sky's but there was still a nip in the air, this lasted 2 days and you can guess what it snowed again really big flakes.
We managed to get some gas from Fraga about 20 miles away so we are at least warm.
After we had set up camp I had a walk down to the river with Evie she was that excited just running like greyhound, she went down the river bank and straight in the water, I have since discovered why, the banks are muddy with the floods and are like ice I have fallen flat on my back and so has Sandra except hers was more spectacular she ended up in the river!, she always said she wanted to be seen in something long and flowing.
I have been fishing down at the river but it has been in flood and its just going down so the water temperature is bloody cold and the fish do not want to know, I am hoping it will warm up to get them to feed, so nothing to report on any catches yet.

I will sign off now until we can find another wifi hot spot.
