I have 20 minutes until I get in the car, and probably not enough photos to make a good post anyway but I'm going for it. I thought I was getting a ride up to the Pyrenees actually the ride is going to drop me off in Salou just before Tarragona because of his decision to drop me off there was better if I was heading to Perpignan, but I would have much preferred to gone in the mountains and to have travelled somehow east to Sam's Place.
Hiding from the sun..
I'm packed up and slept great again outside the gas station and the happy worker greeted me in the morning and got me a coffee. Last night the two women that were working came to smoke a cigarette over where I'm staying and I chatted with with one of them.
She told me that before she had a husband and kid she went traveling in a campervan around the whole of Europe which must have been for a long time. She also said that she admired me, at first I thought she meant for travelling around, but actually she meant that because the day was so dam hot in the sun haha!
I always try to tell people that have a family but still wants to go and travel, that they just need a bigger vehicle like a Lorry or a bus and that I know already quite a few nomadic family's and that it's very do-able.
I had forgotten completely what I love most about travelling, meeting people and influencing them and making them think about what they are doing with life.
I didn't get to finish this post, and now 5 hours later I am 1hour away from Salou. The driver from blablacar is a Legend, and we have alot in common. We just stopped in Castillo and actually drove right past the same place in Villa Real, where it was that I was confronted by the 2 Guardia Civil 10days or something into the start of lockdown. One was an old angry man who wanted so much to arrest me and to "Kill my dogs" but luckily the younger one calmed him down. That was where they told me to take the train and it all went wrong back in March.
We stopped at a cafe to get some food and use the toilet and met a stray tomatoe plant and a guy travelling on motorbike who was from Czech Republic.
Random Tomato plant
The legendry Yamaha 700 and the Czech guy
We were talking whilst driving about travelling, buggin out to go live in the mountains and taking the piss out of society and time flew by, and now we have another passangers aboard. We did wonder how she would be - if they would be with mask or not - and they are.
They think I don't understand Spanish but I heard the woman say that she wants to wear it because she travels often, even after the driver Jesus had said that he won't be wearing one.
He had told me that the time before he was kind of pressured from someone to wear one whilst he drove 4 hours in his own car on blablacar 🤣
How can people be like that, if the advice your lovely government or the television gives you about masks doing something against a virus that in real life has a survival rate of 99.96%, then if it's so effective, why should you care if others wear them or not??
Same as vaccines - Take it - and shut the fuck up!
Now we talk about Epstein 😏 the woman hadn't heard about it bless her and now Jesus is explaining it, he is well clued up.
An hour later...
.. and I'm in Salou not far from Tarragona. There is a Crypto shop here and the guy buys btc for cash. The day before the corona bitcoin crash I sold 50 euros worth to afford some weed and I hope he will by some more again when my Hive has powered down. This is where I was when lockdown started and the parks got cordoned off by the police.
I will have to finish up this post or I just never get to post it up! It's crazy to see Salou in tourist season compared to March. I need to find someone with a place so I can leave my heavy things there and not carry them whilst I'm here, and to look for rides.
