From Tolva Paul drove me down to Lleida and dropped me at the exit ramp to the highway. 20 minutes later and i was away. Lift maybe 50km down the road followed by another 30kms and then 5km. Hey! Every Km counts! So far they were a Spanish couple, an old guy and then another couple.
I then got a lift with this awesome Spanish chick and her dog (who she then tried to pawn off of on to me when I mentioned I would one day wan one). She had driven past me and then changed her mind and come back! Always good to see. So anyway, I was with her for like 3.5 hours and we were chatting and getting on all good and so she invited me to stay the night at her place. But as it was only 2pm I figured I might just mae it to my woofing place that day and so I chose to push on. Gave me her number just in case I got nowhere.
As i was I only had to wait about 20 mins (police only questioned me the once) and then I had a lift with a Spanish bull fighting gymnist. Like instead of stabbing the bulls and so on, the guy would flip over it and stuff. Meant to be animal rights accepted or something. Nice guy anyway although he did drop me off on the highway...
Next lift though didn't take long and I was soon being offered more food, water and another place to stay the night. Dinner included. Seems the girl had thought I looked Polih and so had begged the other guy to pick me up. Haha. By now twas around 8pm and I was getting tempted by the idea of a shower and warm bed but I was also very close and so I again chose to push on to Lanjaron. I found myself once more desterted on te side of the highway with cars hurtling by at like 140kms but luck seemed to have chosen me for the day.
Another 10 minutes and a car arrived to take me all the way to Bazar - About 80km from my final stop. The guy was not happy ditching me side of the road and wanted to leave me outside a hotel but I told him all good and so after a quick stop in the nearby gas station restroom, I again whacked out the old thumb and at 10pm tried to catch a final ride to Lanjaron...
