Monday 13th saw us sorting out the site and doing all the boring housekeeping things before we set off to discover Jerez. We left camp at noon and arrived at the Information Centre just after 1pm. One of the purposes of our visit was to have a tour round a 'Sherry' bodega, but by the time we arrived they were all closed or closing. We had a beer in a cafe and set off to walk around the town and find the interesting places. The map supplied by the Tourist Office showed a route, but I managed to lose us and we walked round some very, very unattractive places. We then got back on track and there are some fantastic old buildings. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed. Sophie has picked up a very bad habit of breathing very loudly in the car. It winds up both Nicky and me. Today it became unbearable, we shouted at Sophie, who took no notice, and then at each other. This will have to change if we are to do a 7 week tour!!
Eventually we got to go round the Sandeman Bodega. I have to say it wasn't very exciting, possibly because we had already done the wine course and knew all about it. We did the tasting of old 'Sherries' The pale was OK but the rest were not really to our taste.
Thursday we managed to leave Sophie in the awning while we went to the camp swimming pool. A major advance in possibility's. It's easy to say "just leave her she'll get used to it". But she barks and Barks and disturbs the whole area, so this was a major move forward for us. She didn't bark!!! Caravanning is really full on excercise and we will have to sort out how we do the touring. We don't want to spend two hours packing up and 3 hours setting up each day.
Friday pack up and back to Torre for one night to sign off the Lawrences (who had a great time). We also went out after dinner and spent from midnight to 2am in the Irish Bar talking to the owner and another punter. That's life in the town. Tomorrow it's back to the Campo>
