I left Figueres this morning to an ominously grey sky. It held out till 1500 and then cats and dogs did fall. I haven’t seen rain like it for a long time. I planned to camp tonight but no way was this going to be possible so I just pressed on.

I had re- planned the day with the idea of a big push to get into Girona by 1900 but it just became plain dangerous. The road was barely drivable never mind walkable. Visibility was poor and I don’t want to die.

I found a hotel on the main road about 12 km from the city. I will dry out here and head in tomorrow.
