NO SPAIN !!! THEN SPAIN

Hi all; This is a follow on blog from "Doing Nothing". Ok, Here's my follow on, still waiting to load for Spain.........(what did not happen, so spent the night parked on the loading bay there, not too bad as i had the internet.)

The next day (Thursday) went into the office for coffee and was told the load for spain was not going to happen, so as some of you are very familiar with......... change of plan, hey ho shit happens. New plan, load one for Finland (I was up for that) So loaded at the same place and was ready to rock and roll. Called the boss to confirm my load and was told to bring it to the company in Rotterdam, a 2.5hr drive. So back at the yard was told it was to be tranship into a container so got on with that, then the container had to go to Antwerpen did that. Dropped that their, then back to Rotterdam, parked close to where the old yard was and gave a mate a call as saw his truck was their and went for a drink at his place. The next day all i had to do was drop the rental chassis back, then to the yard so was parked back at the company buy 8.30 friday morning waited for the boss to get in and was told i was going home in the company car but had to wait for one more uk driver. Sat there doing sweet FA.......... about 11oclock the boss came in and said the load for Spain was back on (shit, f--k, bollocks) ok then of i went back to Maastrict in Holland to load for Barcelona. Caz not a happy bunny, i told her i was coming home for the weekend and now had to tell her i was not. So got loaded and then headed south for Luxumburg, got down to Djon for the night so that was Friday done & dusted. Time for beer and sleep. Saturday i was up and on my way by 8am as i liked to be parked up in Spain early that night .





This is an old photo, don't know why its here buts it's in the small village where i dropped the week before looks wierd on a roundabout .


This was going through Liege in Belguim, and coming down to the new tunnel through the town, speed limit was 60khs for trucks and 0nly 4mts in height



This was outside the fire station in maastrict, it looked cool when i took it but now i don't know .

This is Lyon in France there is two ways around here, you can go round via the motorway or like me the old way, through the centre of Lyon, sometimes it's quicker going this way. Here are some photo's, this is the road that runs along the river in the centre .





it looks good to me


This is coming out on the south side still by the river



The next ones are alot further south of Lyon, near Narbonne in the south of France.

These photo's are of the mediterranean.




This was a used plane place so if you would like a second hand plane it's just off the motorway at Narbonne .



Take your pick.

Ok heading for the border, not far from Spain now just over the hill.

The border for Spain.




As it says... SPAIN here we are


I parked up not far from here it's called LA JONQUERA it's the old custom place, but not many photo's of this. Will tell all in my next post, sorry but it's not a nice one so will do that on it's own as the photos are not nice ... ok keep it sunny side up till then (now Caz's turn)
