San Sebastian, Spain

Don’t you love the sound of jack hammers in the morning? After staying up until all hours last night trying to sort out account balances and phone card re-crediting to no avail, we were awoken early due to work being done at the church across the street. We got out quick, before being driven crazy.

We went and bought some croissants and sat on the promenade at Playa de la Concha for breakfast.

We spent the morning looking for sunglasses for me, as I sat on mice yesterday and broke them. I couldn’t find any suitable, so we went back to the pension, got changed into our swimmers and went back to Playa de la Concha for a couple of hours in the sun and water.

We came back to the hostel in refuge from the sun. We went back out at 7.30 pm in search of dinner. We bought some take-away chicken and went and sat on the break wall overlooking the river mouth and the eastern beach. We spoiled ourselves with ice cream before walking along the town’s river, Rio Urumea Ibaia, for a while.

As it became dark, we got the camera and walked to Buen Pastor Cathedral to get a photo of the church under lights.

Tomorrow is our last full day in San Sebastian. We’ll have to try and get to the beach because it will be our last chance until Albufeira, although we won’t be there long, due to today’s sunburn.
