Day 14

Rate this post

Wake-up was at 8:45 am. Around 9 I had breakfast and went to the bank to sort out the ATM issues from yesterday – in van as the bank said they can’t do a thing about it so I should try again. I did as they told and as a result my account was debited with 100 EUR but the ATM did not give me the amount. After spending an hour with them I called my bank and sorted it out with them.

I wasn’t in a good mood and had little cash when I left for Sevilla. The trip was short and the weather was again on my side. 
After lunch in Sevilla I headed towards Marbella through Ronda (routes A-375, A-374 and A-397). The road from Ronda to Marbella was recommended by Hispania Tours in Malaga and it was really worth it. It was a beautiful ride and a great road. My computer showed again 36 degrees so I was happy to take a rest once in Marbella. I found a hotel and the first thing was a well deserved shower before sorting my stuff out before heading towards home tomorrow..

    Today morning was surprisingly chilly. I mean by the standards I got used to in the last couple of days and obviously not the home standards where temperatures are still below zero during the night at this period of the year. It was 11.5 degrees and the air was rather humid.I couldn’t leave before 8.00…

    Day 11

    Departure was around 10.00 in the morning and I headed for Gibraltar. While stopping for a coffee at a petrol station a tour bus driver had a bad day and thought it’s best to pick a fight. Although there was like a square mile of free space he just had to stop next to my…

    I left the hotel around 9.30 and went straight to Malaga. As they promised the spare parts expert should be in and i was hoping to get lucky with my hand guard. Unfortunately they said the usual: no parts at the moment but they can order it… I didn’t believe it. It only costs 30 EUR…

  • Day 6

    Today I left Valencia around 9.00 and headed inland towards Albacete. The road was wonderful. Small roads alongside riverbeds but I had to pay attention as in some places rocks were blocking part of the road. At one time I crossed a plane stretching for miles where the land was so flat one could not…

  • Day 8

    Today I woke at 4.00 am! I just couldn’t sleep despite the fact that there was complete silence around the whole campsite. I just watched a movie in my tent. When the battery started to sun down I moved to the bathroom area and plugged it in then watched another one. In the meantime I…

    Day 16

    The alarm sounded at 7.00. I had a good night – not counting that I had to get up two times as a side effect of the beer quantity I consumed – though it was pretty cold. As I left the campsite I rode through perfect roads running between tall tree lines. Then I headed north-east…
