I just met the Doppelganger!
We are sitting outside the van, waiting for the errant Chloé. A spotted tabby sauntered along the wall towards us. The resemblance is uncanny, right down to identical stripes on the forelegs. It does however look considerably smaller and lighter than Dusty so must be a feisty beast indeed to have taken him on and then left marks. Seems fearless too; unbothered by our presence.
Currently planning a route direct to Sagres, taking in a couple of forest campsites and the one at Olvera, where we stopped last January.
Just need the cat to come home before we can think of going, and then to oblige by staying home until we can actually depart.
We have pencilled in a stop that is close to the N/S motorway, so if we decide that we really must return, we should be well placed for a quick getaway.
Spirits are very low. Tempers are fraying. Even the sun has gone behind a cloud.
