The
Road To Ruin – Whoops, I Meant Rouen!
To
Denia and Beyond!
Tuesday
13th of January 2015.
Today is
intended to be a day of exploration and photography around Denia, now
that we have settled into the apartment. The day started out somewhat
overcast, but the strong morning sun soon cleared the sky of any
trace of cloud. It turned out to be another nice day in the low 20c
(70f) Which made the whole experience very enjoyable. I went
walkabout, but this time in the car as there is much agricultural
land between any of the townships. You certainly need some form of
transport as public transport service appear to be quite limited.
However, passing through small village streets and sharing the narrow
roads with HGV lorries is an interesting experience. Which reminds
me.
We began
to notice that there were often single young ladies and occasionally
in pairs by the side of the road, usually sat on chairs. To all
intents and purposes it looked as if they were waiting for someone to
give them a lift. Many seemed to be dressed for an evening out rather
than daytime clothes. There were one or two in what might best be
described as revealing attire! – True to form they were waiting to
be picked up. It seems that the 'ladies' all ply the worlds oldest
horizontal trade, which is conducted with any passing lorry driver.
So being picked up is exactly what they were waiting for!
The
Memsahib felt the urge to go shopping once more. I did not raise my
usual objection as I wanted to find a pair of comfortable slippers as
I had left mine behind on Rosie. We also wanted to hitch a ride on
the MacDonald WiFi service to check our emails which comes for the
price of a cup of coffee. Drinking or leaving the coffee is optional.
Over here what we call Why-Fie is called Wee-Fee, in Spain. This
caused some consternation and mild amusement as we thought it was the
price of using the toilet facility! Which considering the taste of
the McD coffee might go some way of an explanation!
