Fort Bravo & La Tortega

Last night was the best nights sleep we’ve had on the whole trip. It was quiet, except for the owls and we were locked in a small compound of our hosts yard and we felt completely safe so we could have the windows open.
Diego, the kitten is still alive so are first job was to drive to pet world in torrevieja and get some kitten formula and a feeding bottle. At €22 we’re really hoping he survives.
From pet world we drove to the pink salt lakes but unless you got the lakes at the right angle and sunlight they didn’t look that pink, hence the drone shot.
From there it was another relatively long drive to Fort Bravo 130 miles away. This is where Texas Hollywood is and that is next on the list but we get there far to late at 5pm to start thinking about visiting that today.
So we started operation tortoise, and tonight’s camp is in a dry river bed that was used for filming game of thrones and Indiana Jones and the last crusade. It’s quite spectacular and feels like we’re in the desert.Read more
