Some funny moments !

So we have now arrived and thanks to a 2 hour conversation with Ash at O2 we finally managed to get the Dongle working, however the connection here in sunny Spain is rather slow so making it too difficult to upload our pictures so far, we will work on this and see what we can do ! Our final cost to get here was 1615 euro’s including stables, diesel, tolls, ferry. We filled the lorry up just before Jerez so when we pull out in 3 weeks time very early in the morning we can get going without worrying about fuel. We will need to get through Seville before the Monday morning rush hour. Still enough about going home. Yesterday we collected the car which Mum and Dad had kindly driven down from their home in Spain to a Hotel in Jerez 2 weeks ago ! Thanks Dad you should have seen the looks on peoples faces as we drove the truck through Jerez centre and into the main entrance of the hotel ! The staff looked horrified at the thought of renting a bedroom to the horse ! When we were coming through Madrid I was driving and an unmarked small car starting beeping alongside us on passenger side and flashed a card at Phil gesturing us to pull over he did have a dark green uniform on similar to Civil Guard. However, the exit he took wanting us to follow him was too tight for me to make that sudden turn and would have taken us onto another motorway going in the wrong direction so I didn’t follow him oops !!! I will never forget the look on his face as I shrugged my shoulders at him as he had pulled over and I merrily drove past ! We are still waiting for the SWAT team to come and get us !!!

    Think you must have had a lucky escape south of Madrid. Could well have been people up to no good, if was real Guardia am sure they would have stopped you further along the way. Perhaps you should report it – what do you think. Just glad you are in Veja now and all is well. Am sure the Hotel will have something funny to tell Dad and I when we go back to get our car in 4 weeks time!! Good that it all worked out OK. OOPS WOO JUST BROUGHT ME A MOUSE!! I must have spoke too soon.
