Basque land to Rioja 27th Aug

We then let Tomasina take us on some delightful mountain roads over the Pyrenees, and some very French looking ones, too.

 The driver / photographer announces that he is going to stop and take a picture of Cassie crossing from France to Spain. Then the navigator / multi-linguist (haha) notices that the signs in the villages we are passing, are no longer in French but in Spanish, and a very strange Syrilic language. And we realise that we are not in France or Spain but - Basque land!
We passed through some stunningly beautiful alpine villages, and saw the Basque flag flying, which looks a bit like the union jack, but the wrong colours!
