Glorious weather after all!!

So the bad news is that the pharmacy inTrevelz was closed and the pharmacy in Berchules - WHICH IS ONLY ABOUT A MILE UPHILL from the Hotel - is also closed. The good news is that after about an hour when there was some snow and coolness, the sun came out and it's been a gorgeous day. So I'm now got it up in my lovely hotel Los Berchules in Berchuleswith a beer olives and some nuts. All is well in the world and my eye is not too bad. I have found the pharmacy and know it opens at 9 o'clock in the morning so I will get some ointment on my way to Yegen tomorrow.
Berchules is interesting; another split level village which gets older and more mediaeval as you go higher, Right at the top there was a house full of young priests. The bar near the church felt like a house of ill repute. 
You have to be really careful with the mixed nuts here. They put the pistachios with the shells in with the other nuts and a few times I have had a mouthful of nuts and discovered I'm trying to eat shells. Nice.
So I think in a bit. I'll have a shower and then explore the very nearby village of Alcatar. It is downhill from here!!!
I am very sunburnt.
