Help!!!! Stuck in Spain

[fossyant]

Just watch the rough Spanglish translation and marriage proposals ! Asking for a bike space on a bus might just get you a Paella or even worse, a marriage proposal to Drago !

I like Paella

But right now I'd rather get to Santander.

And anyhows isn't 'His Flounciness' already hitched

Yeah, but he's a trainee Mormon so you're okay

Y' know.

I think I might be OK anyhow.

But always a good idea to keep an open mind, and a few irons in the fire

Told you it was a good idea to take that camping stove

@Drago says...

I always take a stove.

Nothing happens without tea first..
Anyhow I'm on the bus now

As @Globalti intimated you just slide your bike into the bottom of the bus, before anyone can object.

I had willing accomplices.

And have made some nice Scottish friends who were in a similar predicament

So hopefully mini - drama over..

I know don't speak to soon

22 hrs on a ferry next

Thanks for all your help and support everyone..

Even @Mugshot

22 hours on a ferry across the Bay of Biscay, good luck!

Be sure you get on the right boat, you wouldn't want to end up stuck on a cruise liner heading over to the West Indies and Florida with 2000 bloated retirees for three weeks, with no chance of getting off when the Norovirus takes hold and the toilets get blocked. Look for the boat with a big door in the back.

Thanks for the sage maritime advice there @Globalti

No a cruise is up there in the top five horrendous activities that people actually pay good money for.

Like you say.. Utterly trapped, in a bumpy floating hotel.
With extremely dubious company..

Just like being on CC and not being able to log out.

 

[mudsticks]

Just like being on CC and not being able to log out.

Only slightly more expensive.

And considerably less entertaing

 

[mudsticks]

Oh and then..

In a final plot twist.. A couple of hours up. the road, they chuck us all off the bus, and back onto the train again..

 

[mudsticks]

Santander achieved..

The sea looks a trifle bumpy tho.

Thanks for all the moral (and practical) support

A couple of wave calming spells in order now, methinks.

But in a separate stroke of luck, just run into some 500 yd away neighbours, on their way back from Portugal, who can probs give me and my bike a lift back to the farm.

Serendipity strikes again
