At The House Day 9 - IKEA part 3

No IKEA as far as I know today.  My door note was opened but I don't know it the delivery get did it.  I got no call .


Was up and driving shortly after 4am.  It was dark almost the entire drive.  Picked Mike up at the airport after practically U-turning in the airport.  Not a smooth pickup but I got him.  We then when to Albert's hotel which I had hoped had a loading area but did not.  Down the block we found a little industrial appendix street with. Lots of no stopping signs and stopped to fit two bikes, a bike travel case, luggage for two and three grown ass men into a Fiat 500 - the tiniest car on the planet.  Driving on the freeway the same model passed us and I marveled we were all in a car that small.


The bike carrier did well but we stopped to check it regularly and I kept the speed down.  We stopped in an industrial area in Torredelcampo for lunch and got a ton of food for 9€ a plate.


We unloaded and walked toward the bus station for a beer.  The only place open was across the street and Alpha's bus passed just as we got seated. 


After a beer or two we went to the bike shop to get Alpha's rental bike.  I had Alpha apologize to Nono for completely forgetting about bringing my bike in.  I woke after getting to sleep remembering I was supposed to do that.  Thanks brain for forgetting and the realizing after falling asleep.


At the bike shop Alpha realized he had forgotten his wallet Paris at a relative's.


We spent the evening bar and tapas hopping.  The guys were amazed how much tapas just kept appearing with the beers.  No need for dinner!
