While the students had their D-day, staff was driving through France and Spain all Saturday, only to arrive at Hotel Vegallana in the evening. This is a typical Spanish hotel annex bar annex restaurant, which is all about "El Toro". The bull fights were shown on televion, followed - contrastingly - by the European Song Festival. The meal (solomillo - sirloin steak) was excellent as always!!!
Discovered an unused, and unusually elegant, groundwater well in the back garden of a house in Boadillo, just behind the Vegallana Hotel, could not leave without taking a picture, even though it was only 6:50 am.
At 7 am on Sunday we drove off to Portugal. First dumped the contents of our van in the garage that was made available by the University of Aveiro (see picture below). After a good coffee and a pastel de nata, decided to take a look in the fieldwork area and visit one of our favourite places: Restaurante Sesta. Baffled again by the copious amounts of high quality food served there. Then went on to check where our students could place their discharge stations. Everything OK, rivers contained water...
First students will arrive tonight and all housing has been arranged. Amazed again that everything went as planned...
