530 km driving, 14 cities, 5 countries, 5 hotels, 4 planes, 1 cruise
ship and countless miles of walking... WE MADE IT TO MURCIA!
I know I still need to post all the blogs
and pictures from the trip but I am still getting settled in... You will see
them next week do not worry. I do have to share this week’s adventure involving
driving...
First, road signs in Europe are HORRIBLE
if you can even find them. Secondly, 99% of the intersections in Spain are
roundabouts with crisscrossing roads and stoplights every 10 feet. Thirdly...
well I do not think street lines and blinkers mean anything.
Originally, after Murcia, my mom and
brother were supposed to drive to Madrid and fly home. Because of the insane
driving situation and the fact you cannot even drive here unless you know the
place, have a GPS, maybe a tour guide, 2 backseat drivers and maybe a flying
car. Therefore, we returned the car early and bought them a train ticket. However,
to the return the car we first had to fill it up with gas, diesel to be exact,
at a gas station, which had no pumping instructions and a cashier who spoke no
English. Mom and I looked like idiots...Oregon girls know nothing of this gas-pumping
thing... Do not worry; we think we put the right fuel in it...
Side note - Just bought a bag of the
freshest fruit for like 2 euros and I am so happy that fruits and veggies are
SO cheap here.
