Day 59 16/9/16
Day off the bike totally.
In the last few days I’ve had my front wheel fixed by Pepe at www.slowtraffic.es, ridden in the rain, slept on a roundabout in Parla, ridden up some hills, had a haircut, clocked up 2500 miles, swam in a pool with spectacular views of Toledo and met some very nice people. Especially Paul and Caroline from Antiquera who provided me with coffee this morning! To which I added omelette with cheese and chorizo.
Did my washing and other chores, then showered and headed into town on foot, just one km. If I’d seen that coach driver I would have taught him some navigation skills! Did all the sightseeing stuff but soon got fed up with churches.
Found a bar which ripped me off for a pint. Still, at least, they had wifi. Got a empanadas with meat. Found the river which I found much more appealing than the churches.
Sorry god but I prefer nature. Went for a quick beer and then cooked up pasta. Met a very nice Dutch couple and went back to miserable barman who doesn’t seem so keen to close tonight with such a busy bar. I’ll show him. A very large pacharan followed!
