The J-Day. The first departure of our group. Although we have a huge hangover we still wake up at 9 and clean the camp. And that was it for the early excerise, all we did next was set the blankets and fall asleep on the beach. Miguel and Isma went to our next stop to catch the early surf and we slept for another 3 hours. After a swim we followed the guys to Loredo and continued our lazyness with a late breakfest – a hamburger and coffee. We go for Santander then with Jurgen and he’s catching the 7 o’clock bus for San Sebastian which gives us some time to spend in the city which we haven’t really been before. It’s nice and quiet so we take a really peaceful coffee. We decided not to say goodbye as we are sure we’ll see each other again this summer and then we go our seperate ways. I feel a bit sad so I change my music from Manu Chao to Mogwai in the car and finally I get much happier – if you’ve seen what we had for dinner you’d understand me. We had some bocatas and some hamburgers (yeah again, I know) in a local bocateria which were so big and so good it’s hard to imagine... or I was just really hungry. My first night sleeping in the car follows. I make my inflated bed and find out that there really is too much space at the back of my car! I think this summer is going to be really interesting.

The day seems perfect as I’m sitting in the bar where we had coffee yesterday. I think it’s the most perfect since our trip, no clouds really. Early surf and the whole day just lying around on the beach. Did I say already that I hate creams? Well, today I shouldn’t hate them, or I should hate them less at least. My friend Rok would say I look like a pomodoro now. Which is very close to the truth actually? And the day gets the perfect ending – a barbeque on the beach! Sorry for that Jurgen... Before I went to bed I met a couple from Spain travelling with a red VW T5 and we were discussing about the waves as today they were a bit small. They told me about the beach of Liencres which by they’re opinion should give nice waves the day after.

As the contrary of yesterday rain wakes me up today and the sky is awful. I meet the couple from yesterday again in the bar and soon after we all decide to go to Liencres. We were loosing ourselves a bit and on the way Marta took me to a farmacy shop to buy some suncream. I must say I made the girls working there laugh a bit! After a while we finally came to the right beach and it’s amazing, hidden between some cliffs and the waves look a bit scary. As my whole body is in pain I decide to go to the safe grounds of a commercial centre. I need to buy some stuff and use internet anyway. A while after I return to the beach and the sun is still amazingly hot. With my clothes on and under an umbrella in the shade now I relax a bit and then move to a bar to see the first semi-final game between Holland and Urugway. I missed half of the game because Marta, Lucia and me were playing with this 3 year old hipi surfer kid in the bar! He was so cool! He was making the same kind of a trip with his parents as we were and his father actually asked us if we have any problems by the police while sleeping on the beach. Oh, Holland won 3-2 by the way. And finally we go to bed early due to constant sun and surf. I feel the whole group is getting a bit tired of the trip...

...siete de julio – SAN FERMIN! Today the place to be is Pamplona. We had a plan to be there actually, but it’s somehow too far away and most importantly, no surf! And the weather here is just too great! If I wasn’t havnig a morning coffee right now I wouldn’t be following my everyday ritual. We go for surf after although the waves are really messy. It’s hard to enter and by the time I’m out i find myself on the other end of the beach. Felt more like pedaling then surfing. I make something like a tent, or a roof out of the surfboards for the shadow and feel better now. We were waiting for the waves to change but without luck. We decide to move a bit further west to Suances and I find my car too black! It’s so hot, I’m using the A/C and the windows just to be able to breathe! Suances doesn’t offer better waves, what it does offer is this great place with cheap beer to see the second semi-final game between Spain and Germany. Everybody is on their toes and in the end all of them are really happy although the score was 1-0 and the players didn’t really convince me. But you can really see pride now in the spanish eyes. We stayed in the bar for some time after...
