Kevnjan's new adventure.

Friday 9th. Nov. Wednesday was a long day. The San Isidro I was headed for turned out to be the wrong one. There are about 12 in the atlas and it's an easy mistake to make. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.) Before that we discovered Albacete where we knew we could fill up with LPG as we'd found a garage on the internet. Of course, when we got there no LPG was found. With my blundering Spanish I got directions to another place at the other end of town which sold it. After my customary squeeze through the narrowest streets in town we arrived at the garage, filled up and headed out to the nearest centro commercial for coffee and shopping. Shortly after that we discovered my mistake, put GPS co-ordinates into satnav and headed for John and Pat's finca. Arrived at the spot directed to by satnav girl and discovered we were miles away. Beautiful spot though, just west of a place called Moixant, can recommend visiting the area if you need to be lost. No signal on phone, very remote. To cut a long story short we put in another 120Ks and arrived at our destination, very relieved and tired. The traditional Spanglish welcome of a hug and a large whisky did much to restore me. It had rained for much of the day and we were relieved to have the driving done for a day or two. I think our hosts were beginning to think we weren't coming. Dinner was delicious, slept like a log. Thursday John offered to fix the leak(s) on the van and we spent the morning removing old filler from the seams. The weather at the moment is very unSpanish, grey skies and the occasional spot of rain. We were awoken at 5 this morning to the sound of raindrops on the roof. Panic stations as I had to cover the empty seams before water poured in. The rain came to nothing but gave us a scare. This morning Jan's off to hairdresser, hopefully we can waterproof the van. Found a screw in the front nearside tyre yesterday so that's something else to fix. It's a good job we're at a place where all this stuff can be attended to.
