Although it was not raining heavily in the morning, the day certainly would not have been suitable for further scooter travel. So we lived by our decision to remain in Santander until the weather cleared.
We started the day by having breakfast around the corner from our hotel and proceeded to check out of the hotel to move into a similar hotel which had more reliable internet connections. Once settled in our new hotel, we decided to visit a major local shopping centre. This shopping center turned out to be rather unusual. It was essentially one really big department store, with a few small independent stores in the same complex as well as one other hypermarket type retailer. We have never seen a similar center before, not even in the U.S.
Later in the afternoon, we tried to re-assess the weather situation and made a truly disturbing discovery: The forecast for San Sebastain included snow (!) showers for the next few days, with the associated low temperatures. There was no way we could reasonably circumnavigate that area so it became clear that we needed another plan or risk being stuck in Santander for yet a few more days. We discussed various options over dinner and decided to spend the next day working out a "Plan B".
