I hardly slept last night. Firstly the church bells kept on ringing every half an hour up to twelve o’clock, then I just kept waking up. It was bit like the first time I went to school aged five and I remember it well. I stayed awake all night not wanting to go, I was terrified. As it turned out it wasn’t that bad. I was dreading today I knew that I would have to go into the mountains to get to where I wanted to go. I am really frustrated that I can’t used the main roads. However I suppose it makes it more interesting. I passed some really nice little villages then went through some really dry and arid areas…..bring on the British countryside.
It has been really hot again…it’s beginning to get me down. I thought what would happen if I didn’t complete the journey, which is stupid because I have no intention of packing it in, perhaps I just like to torture myself. I had another day of pointy pully faces with the locals. It is something I am getting used to. I just wish I was going to Amarrilo…I could sing and ask for directions at the same time.
I phoned a couple of people today. I was feeling really homesick and wanted to hear some familiar voices…..cheers everyone. I have not enjoyed Spain at all. I thought I would do but it’s been very frustrating. I wish there was one long road but it never works out that way.

I’ve lost my glasses…there’s a surprise. I am writing this in word, font 16 then converting it to the blog…ingenious hey. I’m stupid for losing my glasses. I’m Ok in the light, it’s just when it starts to go dark. Don’t ask me where I am, the towns are all mergin into one. I will let you know tomorrow.
I’m in a lovely hostel. It is very clean and tidy. The accommodation s a lot better here in Spain. The internet isn’t working, there is a surprise and I’ve got to go to the bar next door, owned by the guy who owns the hostel……good business I think.
I’m going to sit down and sort out my next route, reassess my situation and start again tomorrow…..lets see what happens.
Been trying to get on the Internet all night. I’ve tried four pubs and I’m pissed. The guy at the hotel promised me he had the Internet. I can’t believe guy’s would lie to get you into their hotel…….never happens normally does it girls….You live and learn. I will post it when I can.
