One disadvantage of driving in the warmer weather was the constant barrage of insects hitting the windscreen, leaving wet marks the size of ping pong balls and making it almost impossible to see out unless the windscreen was cleared regularly. These insects must have been quite a size as they made a splat noise as they hit the and our washer wipers had to work overtime so we could see where we were going. One of the first jobs when we arrived was to clean the windscreen before the stains set hard in the Spanish sun.
