Day 19- The journey to Cantabria

As with any night out in San Sebastian this one ended late and I felt rough this morning. Hung out with a Californian and a Canadian. We had some good squid at a Pintxos place before drinking more and more beer. Unlike the previous time in San Sebastian I did not top up the meter- I was up by 7:30 and on the road at 8. Stopped in service station and got some cheese (was okay for Spanish cheese) and had some Weetabix.

Headed on past Bilbao to Cantabria which took about 2 hours. Forgotten how nice the scenery is on the motorway there. Unfortunately I did not have time to take it in. I was rushing to get the board repair place in Santander to drop off my nose broken board. Finally found the place after speaking to the guy on the phone (google maps sent me somewhere else).

Headed to the supermarket to pick up some quick lunch before driving down to Liencres. Got a surf in with a few mellowish waves in, but the wind started to pick up which made it hard work. Chilled in the car park in the sun for a bit which was awesome watching the surf. Even though it was a bit bumy I decided to get back in. However I wa a bit tired after the prior night and onl caught one wave before being destroyed.


Headed off to Eroski- although I got in the spinach tortilla, Eroski is not what it used to be- the other surpermarket was much better. I know where I will be stocking up on Saturday. Headed over to the hostel where I am staying tonight and grabbed a surf in at Somo. Was a bit frustrating as the waves were mostly close outs that I caught. Swell is definitely picking up. Had some Manchego for dinner.
