Madrid - Valdenepas 30/08/69
Cloud start then fine until 28149
4 pm. After that a bad 28007
thunderstorm lasting to 12 pm 142 miles
Put new fuel pump on despite my belief that the old one was OK. Removd ther,mostat and engine certainly ran cooler. Got lost in Madrid in shanty town.
Quite surprising the povety and slummy way of living in the crowded houses.
Poor roads off the main road - not tarred just dust and stones. Excellent lunch of tuna fish,olives,tomatoes and potatoes.
Had a sandwich and coffee at a roadside bar in a small village. Many villagers standing by the roadside, at the sandwich bar and in doorways despite the stormy weather and lateness of the evening. Slept in L/R near to Valdenepas next to main road and railway, under electricity cables and next to steel hoarding but we were not struck by lightening. Chris had an upset tummy today.
