Lidl Aljeciras


Arrived here this morning after a scenic journey from the campsite,
through a National Park landscape of deep gorges, folded mountains and endless ridges covered with wind turbines. We headed out of Aljeciras looking for a specific Repsol Garage which is legendary amongst motorhomers as the place to refill ones gas bottles. Most of our gas goes on the freezer, keeping the meat alive.
Eventually we drove to the north of this sprawling city, which is overshadowed by the Rock of Gibralter, and located the Lidl carpark where we will stay the night before, embarking on the 10 am ferry in the morning.
Andrew arrived a little while later and we went off to Carlos's office to book the crossing. It is a new office with air-con, attatched to Lidl. Once all the paperwork was completed, we were presented with a bottle of wine and a slab of sponge cake " for a present ".
  Now sat in McDonalds using gratis Wifi or as the Spanish say "whiffy" to send today's post. I have to say that Sat Nav Sue has been amazing, sat in the suicide seat all this way and using co-ordinates to find us our locations.
Here she is, mouth open as usual, getting a tan from the heat rising from the tarmac!
