Day 53 as a Gipsy
« on: 22 February 2019, 22:41:48 »
Been away from home for nearly two months. Some hotels, some staying at friends or relatives and a chunk clearing a deceased relatives house. We will be glad to be home.
Staying in a large converted wine warehouse in the centre of Bordeaux tonight. Sounds glamourous but no shops, couldn’t  find a bank or a restaurant. Oh and the warehouse has a hundred other apartments.
Spain tomorrow. Hurrah. Real coffee at a sensible price, no fancy name and without scum on the top with a heart shape or cocoa powder.....
Will have done well over 5000 miles .

I know drivers who are away 6weeks at a time. In the days of the middle east runs 3months was the norm., No fancy hotels or such like.

What do they do for clean socks and pants?

I have heard they only have a sub mariners shower.

Staying in a very rural spot called Yanguas ( wolf country) midway between Logrono ( run down dump) and Soria. Good to be back in Spain.

There's plenty of places to get showered now days, and a bowl of warm water and soap, clean clothes in bowl of soap n water, hang to dry on front grill.

There are some who just have a lynx shower, or not,, and when you get on the smelly bus at Dover or Calais for the shuttle,, you can tell who has washed.
We have smelly types, we go to places that have full facilities to use, and they don't, when they come back on a Friday, they stink.. and subtlety spraying air freshener by office staff while the sit there,  :o
