19 July 2019
Very heavy rain over night and accommodation around apartments with lots of people noise. Good sleep was not on the agenda with people arriving loudly at midnight. We left Irun about 8.30 ish trying to avoid what looked like a major motorway, thinking it wasn’t correct we stopped and had to lift the bikes over motorway barrier to get back and avoid on coming traffic. It turned out the GPS was correct. Eventually we found we were right all along and we were biking on a road something like the auckland motorway. Stress was high but the drivers were very tolerant. At some point we followed a cycle track and had to get an elevator down to ground level. Once we got off the busy roads all was good. Zarautz was a lovely town we passed through. Temperature was a bit cooler today around 19 deg and cloudy all day. Good riding conditions for the hills. Our accommodation tonight is like out of a James Bond Movie. We have to wait until 8.30pm for dinner tonight.
