Tuesday 10th November

This morning the local police from Tapia de Casariego came round about 10.00 to collect the Aire fees of 4 euros. It's a rather strange concept to me the idea of police collecting what is something in between parking and campsite fees. There are a lot of these little red tailed birds around here. Not sure what they're called.

From Tapia de Casariego we came east along the coast for 15 miles (24 kilometres) to Ortiguera and parked by this beach which is called Playa de Arnelles. 

We went for a walk on the beach.

It was a lovely warm day.

We had a paddle in the Atlantic which was quite warm.

Just as we were leaving the beach another couple turned up on the other side. We learned later that they are from Machynllech in Wales and are travelling in a 35 year old VW Camper.

When we got back to our van Ann got her chair out!

Here's the view through the sliding door of our van from our parking place.
