Tryp Indalo Almeria

Unfortunately, its was time to return to reality. Back on the road. Although, waking up and having a cooked breakfast and a packed lunch made for your journey is enough to raise anyones spirits.

After leaving we quickly came to our first obstacle. Once again we only had a motor way as an option. But whats this? a service road that runs along side of it. Wow our luck has completely changed. No, its just the same as it always was because after cycling 5 miles down this ...

I had to wean myseft away from the area, and the next day just drove a bit up the coast, past more un(der)-developed beaches at Escullos and El Playazo, and ended up staying in Las Negras, another fishing village which is sleepy by the water-front but with massive construction going on behind it.

Returned to San Jose. Next day drove around to the town of Cabo de Gata, saw the salt-pans, went up the the "Cape", saw the incredible beach of Cabo de Gata, had great lunch there, then went around to the beach at Monsul. Eventually decided I HAD to leave!! 

... an hour. Bus wound out of town into the hot-house area and eventually came to the Airport where there was a lot of construction work, so it didn't concern me that it didn't stop by what looked like the bus -stop as it was surrounded by diggers, etc.. As we appeared to leave the airport I asked the man beside me if there was another terminal & I thought he said yes. Anxiety levels increased as the runway disappeared into the distance and I got up and asked the ...

... 20 bornes en rebroussant chemin vers cabo de gata....magnifiaue endroit, on arrive en 4x4 carrement sur la plage, on trouve une petite epicerie qu on a devalisem pates, saucisson, courgettes, lard au bord e l eau, etla, surprise, une bande de chats loubards nous barre la route et essqient de nous manger notre repas...il faisait un peu frais et beaucoup de vent SAMEDI 02 ...

... a trouver ce cyber cafe par hasard... il vaut le detour : couple avec un vrai bar (match de foot a fond en espagnol en fond sonore), et PC prehistorique que j ai bien failli faire planter en ouvrant la page facebook... pas de port usb en vue, pour les photos va falloir attendre !

... edged by houses, not apartment blocks. I walked 45 minutes over to Genoveses beach which is longer, sandy, more protected. The first day I was there, I was in the company of, perhaps, another dozen people. Bliss. The water is relatively shallow, but not yet quite warm enough to swim in. For me. I've seen some hardy types, or perhaps I'm going soft! I'd booked 2 nights in the Hotel, not knowing whether I would like the place. I'm ...

Ok, so it's a bit trashy. I dont care! I like it! Photo below showing my mates and I suitably attired, including Denzuki, alias "Angel Eyes" Morrod, La Gringa, El Perro Negro and Tinkerbell. Nice thing is we shall have to go back. We have a tour organised to take advantage ...

... vertraging en taxieden we om 14:45 naar de startbaan. Ik was gebroken maar kon bij aankomst toch genieten van een prachtige landing met uitzicht op de Zeeuwse eilanden, Botlek, Den Haag, IJmuiden en zo meer. Klokslag 17:00 ging de deur open en kon ik, na ontvangst van mijn tas, pa, ma en een tante begroeten. Voor de statistieken: ik was inmiddels 18 uur onderweg! Daarna op Schiphol wat gegeten op hetzelfde bankje waar jullie de vlag hebben gekregen en met de bus naar Diemen ...

... lui donner le « papier vert » pour rentrer la voiture au Maroc. On ne nous donne pas le papier, il faudra le demander à terre. On continue à manger et on va faire tamponner les passeports. On va un peu dehors et avec Flo, nous avons une discussion avec un marocain qui est pas très ouvert, mais gentil. Et voilà, on est descendues et il reste environ deux heures avant l'arrivée à Nador. On y arrive à 23h30, heure locale. 109980km au compteur.
