Friday 16th October

It was quite misty this morning in Torrebaja however the sun broke through before long and Ann did some clothes washing. 

There are strict demarcations as to who does what in this van. Ann does all the work - cooking, cleaning and washing. I do driving, filling with fresh water, emptying waste water, emptying the toilet, filling with diesel, filling with LPG and general oversight of the van's systems- all of which are trivial tasks. It's not fair on her!

We travelled south today passing through major wine producing areas and some nice geology exposed in road cuttings.

  

We stopped at about 14.00 and have stayed for the night in the town of Jalance - which I think is in the region of Valenciana - the regional borders all seem to meet up around here! We travelled 82 miles ( 132 kilometres) today.

We've been here before. We stayed here on the night of 24th December 2012. On that occasion we climbed right up to the top of the castle but today we confined ourselves to wandering around the lower reaches of the town.
