The Later Stages of Lake Iriki

Its flat and dusty and goes on for ever. Its amazing to think it floods most years....and I thought the desert was dry?

The Famous Sign in Zagora

There used to be a sign at the end of the town and it had become a land mark. But the Government removed it in some beaurocratic action. The Town have errected this one, as it pleases Tourists.

Castellon De La Plana Land Rover Dealership

These guys fixed our three sheared inlet manifold studs and swapped the serpentine belt. Very efficient and friendly. We were exceedingly pleased to be back on the road thanks to them.

Castellon De La Plana

Well, there's not much to do in Castellon whilst we wait for the Land Rover to be fixed. We did a geocache and had a wander around the Park and went to see a bridge that is a famous land mark, although I'm not sure why as it was pretty lame. The truck should be finished by 5 this afternoon, so we hope to be back on the road this evening.

By far the most interesting thing in Castellon is the Graffiti.
