Well, here we go again, the waiting game recommences. I had a call early on this morning from FedEx themselves, from England, telling me the card was in transit. He seemed amused about the situation, and the fact that the campsite was taking care of me, but assured me he was on the case today, and wasn’t going to let anything go wrong again. We’ll see.

The thunder and lightning raged for a long while, eventually letting up at around midnight. For some strange reason, my alarm had set itself for midnight, and as I awoke, startled by the unexpected ringing in my ears, the rain had all but stopped. Oddly, though, people then began to come out of their tents and carry on their conversations. Kids even started playing again around the campsite. Don’t these people ever sleep!?

My phone has been playing up the past couple of days, and important texts that people are sending me, are not arriving on my phone. One such text was from dad, detailing the Western Union money transfer that was sent last night. I had no idea about the text until this morning when I managed to contact home. But all details were now in my possession, and I was now able to get a bit of money.

The object of the day today was to get back to the Calatayud campsite, collect my new bank card, and set off on my way to the rest of my trip. It was, however, very different.

I awoke a little later this morning after a much better night sleep. It was good to have a lie in. The tent began to warm up in the sunshine so I had to get out of bed. So what was on the agenda for today?..

I’ve been thinking a lot the past couple of days about cutting the trip short and coming home. It hasn’t gone as I had expected it to, and the thought of having to wait any longer for my card is beginning to cast a shadow over the experience. I know it isn’t a possibility at the moment as I need to be here for when the card arrives, but reassuring texts from the family have made me realise that this is just a blip, however …

Loud music, laughing and shouting from a nearby tent kept me awake until 6am, and at 7am, the talking began again as people started to wake up, so one hour sleep for me. It was doubly great as I had a long day ahead of me, and I was already shattered from the lack of sleep from many previous days. But I guess this is all part of travelling, and at least I was having a good time and seeing many things along the way. …

I’m into August now, three weeks into travelling, and I’m still getting strange looks from everyone. Maybe its the fact that an English person has driven here in the first place, maybe they don’t see many English cars, I don’t know. Anyway, today I was off to Madrid in search of a place to stay so I could receive my card, but it had to be a cheap place as money was running low.
