hi everybody,
right, so our little challenge started 3 days ago.
After 3 hours of sleep in order to catch our flight to Gijon, we finally arrived there at 7.30 am. Thankfully we got a lift from some friends to the town centre. Got a bit of a scare when we were dropped of on the pavement of what looked like a highway and were told that this was it, Gijon!
After a small detour we arrived in the town of Gijon. it is a small town, not much to see but has a nice harbour. After the obligatory photos of the atlantic ocean, this is after all the trip starting from the atlantic to the med. By this time it was around 11ish so we thought it would be a good idea to head off and do our small 30Klm trip to Oviedo. We thought it would only take a few hours and it would be an easy ride. Someone however ( we cant say who, or else we might jeopardise this relationship :) ) forgot to check the altitude profile . The road was bumpy as hell, so it took as a little longer than what we thought. I was so tired, we had to keep stopping every 5 K to get a coffee and a coca cola to wake up. Finally arrived at oviedo at 4 in the afternoon and after checking in our hostel went straight to bed!
Woke up after a couple of hours only to have dinner and then go back to bed again. Oviedo is a beautiful city, a bit too wet for my taste but very nice to walk around the old part of the city. Dinner was at an amazing place in the old part of town, thanks to Lucia who reccomemded it to us.
