Car Problemos + Chase R

Thursday 4th October

Weather bright and sunny again. After the local market, we caught 2 buses to the airport and collected the car. However, because of the cock up from yesterday, they no longer had the clio/nova car booked, but were offered a 1.6 diesel at same price…sounded good !!. However, when we found it, it turned out to be a Peugeot Partner….a cross between a van and a car. Driving out of the airport, it had a decided “knocking” sound over each bump…..bit like wheel bearings that have gone.

Lunched at a rural menu del dia restaurant, plagued by flies, and driven inside by a light shower. Had a leisurely perambulate round town and a light tapas supper at Bar El Timon.

J phoned Ricardo about the flood despite his additional drainage pipes, but he couldn’t come around until Monday.
