Fonta De

Another day of excursions! Went to the mountains. Was super. Long time in coaches though.

SO HARD to get up and at Uni for 8:30 - but made it, and was happy I did too - even before we'd arrived in the mountains. The morning was cool - mist hanging in the valleys, and as the sun rose, the mist slowly cleared, lingering in patches and on hillsides. Beautiful. Stopped for a coffee half way -which at that point was almost as beautiful a moment.

As we arrived, we were told that we had to pay another ?9.20 to take a cablecar to the top. It came as a surprise - we'd already paid ?65 for the trips, so we were expecting it to come with the cablecar, so many of us almost didn't go - but in the end, most did, and this was the view we were rewarded with. Amazing, amazing stuff. Only wished that we weren't summoned back down again so soon, as I could have spend at least 2 or 3 hours wondering around up there.

Back down, then to some town I've forgotten the name of, then another by the sea I've also forgotten the name of, before coming back to Santander. All in all a good day - but more mountains would have done the trick.
