The snow was still on the mountain tops! Kevin had taken his Jeep Grand Cherokee for a ride into the mountains but when it had been warm would the thing start again?! Error no! He got it back to the campsite and Red Pennant recovered it. What was it going to perform like with a caravan on the back? Was it even going to perform?! We can't really criticise Red Pennant but the Jeep dealer. Nothing had any urgency. It was ,mania a!" If it wasn't that it was blooming siesta time! Needless to say we finished squatting at the Jeep dealers at 4 pm when it opened so we could get the blooming car back and on the road again. They assured us that the car was fine and it had been a problem with contaminated coolant. Hitch up and a drive to catch the others up at LA Campina near Cordobo. Kevin made it to the campsite following us but as we pulled in the campsite gates the thing wouldn't start again and he had to free wheel on to a pitch! Red Pennant came and picked the thing up again whilst we went on an excursion to Cordoba.
I have to admit that I'm not a fan of cathedrals and churches but there is no denying it probably is the best in the world. Originally it was a mosque and then when Isabelle the Catholic and Ferdinand re conquered Cordoba they built a cathedral around the Mosque.
Dave and I wandered off after a while and we stumbled across the most gruesome museum ever. The rooms and equipment that were actually used in the Spanish inquisition. OMG were we barbaric! Blood curdling but so fascinating.
So today I was supposed to be first away but we are sitting here waiting to hear about Kevin's car at 8.30. There are far worse places to be stuck. The heat hit 39 yesterday and it was boiling through the night. We have a 200 mile trip in front of us to Cacares and a meal waiting for us so please Mr Jeep get your finger out and get us all on the road again!
