San Sebastian Gertrude

The announced report from Team Gertrud: (And I've really only changed very little...)

We all got up at 10 o'clock. Half an hour later we had breakfast.

The evening before, we received the news that Kathrin, who had returned four days ago, had tested positive. So we all tested ourselves at the breakfast table. Fortunately, we all tested negative.

Afterwards, we drove to a cable car in the city center. To fulfill our educational mission, we continued to puzzle over the workings of this vehicle with Andreas.

Once at the top, we found ourselves in a leisure park (Parque de Atracciones Monte Igueldo). It wasn't open (out of season and all that). We didn't come for the tourist stuff anyway.

After enjoying the view, we set off on a little adventure. We hiked along a rough(!) path to a secluded bay. Once there, we rested a little and climbed around on the stones and the graffiti-painted walls.

The view here was also phenomenal. The way back rather less so. The midday heat had set in and the men and women in shorts were complaining about their bruised legs. Nevertheless, we say:
The effort was worth it! After such a strenuous hike, we really deserved ice cream and a dip in the sea. We rounded off the evening with a delicious dinner.

We wrote this article at night [lights usually go out between 1 and 2, editor's note]. Overall, we would rate the day with 4 stars (actually 5, but unfortunately we were only able to annoy Andreas 6 times).
