Just Shy of Alicante

Since last post we have travelled from Granada to Almeria, thence to Vera and Cartagena, and now we are about 25mms short of Alicante.  It is hot and there is a strong wind warning current so there is dust everywhere.  Hoping for better tomorrow when we catch bus into Alicante.  After the stress of accidentally driving the van into the microscopic streets of Almeria and the GPS (hereinafter known as The Mongrel) taking along horrible little back roads to get out of Vera, there is no way I am going to be responsible for navigating through Alicante!

Going to see the bullring at Alicante because Kenny had a poster for years advertising a bullfight there.  NOT going to a bullfight though.

Off to download and process scads of photos.

Thank you to my girls for your help with the memory issues.

Keep well everyone

  1. Glad to hear you are still managing despite a 'mongrel' getting in the way. If you can get in and get out you know you've a least achieved something! It's a pity the gps can't be set for width as well as speed! Your Mum is enjoying the travels but is having trouble trying to contact you via phone. Looking forward to more adventures.
