Saturday.
Load the big car up with as many boxes as I can cram in. Two floors, no lift, no help. Just me and good old stamina. Bike on new bike rack on back.
5 hour drive to new city interrupted by cop on motorbike. Lets me off not having any ID, not to mention any car documents, but gives me 40 Euro fine for bike obstructing rear plate.
Whilst waiting for ticket I noticed liquid pouring out from beneath engine (breakdown assistance details still in wallet at home). Fortunately it was only air-conditioning fluid. Switch off air-conditioning.
Continue drive in 23 degrees C heat, increasing by two degrees every subsequent hour!
Arrive in new city, unload car single handedly. No time for shower, Champions League final is on, but at least able to drink real beer in Irish pub.
Go to hostal, unable to sleep due to 50 year old drunken Spanish woman thinking she was 16 again. Finally slept at 6am.
11am back to office, organising the unpacking.
Dinner Sunday evening with friends, too tired to drive back 5 hours to home.
Monday morning, 5 hour drive home, no cops. Arrive home, knackered.
No chance of writing book tonight.
Goodnight. x
