I just wanted to say I’ve made it to Spain in one piece.
Plane flight was unpleasant (should’ve bought ear plugs), but everything else so far has been great. I’m writing this from Salamanca — I managed to find an unsecured wireless access point which is a little flaky, but I’ve managed to check my email and update my WordPress MU site, etc.
The drive to Salamanca from Madrid reminded me a lot of the area around Goulburn, Yass, and Crookwell. They even had wind power generators on the tops of hills, which makes me feel good charging my batteries. There was lots of construction going on on the highway — looks like lots of bridges are being constructed.
Oh, also, diesel is 115.7 Euro cents per litre.
I should probably mention that we walked through the town of Segovia, which was pretty neat (saw a Roman aqueduct, and nearly got run over by an ambulance that drove through it), and the castle in the town. Awesome stuff.
Anyway, gotta catch up on sleep to get rid of my jet lag, which is currently causing my eyes to get sore.
“and nearly got run over by an ambulance that drove through it”
That’s right – I was going to remind you to look LEFT before you cross the road. And where are the photos??
115.7 € per litre? Are you sure ?!
Oops, I meant 115.7 cents per litre.
