Changed my rental car at Alicante this lunchtime. Wiber ( off site) to Firefly. Not a problem...transfer bus to the terminal, no queues at the rental desks, usual sales patter re extra insurance, go to multi storey, find car ( ex Sixt Fabia), check over, drive back to base.
Quite a few car rental companies were closed. I met a friend unexpectedly at Altet filling up with fuel, which is very close to the airport. Before the pump would discharge fuel you had to hand over the car keys in the night ops ‘safe’ where the card machine was. Once paid you got the car keys back. He returned his rental to OKCars, handed over the keys, then they wouldn’t rent him another which was prepaid. He caught the bus from the airport to Benidorm, then taxi to his apartment a few miles outside.
Provisions ( bread, milk) from the large petrol station were being handed through shutters as no one allowed inside. Trying to pass baguettes through shutters was quite comical to watch.
The local police were telling people to get off the streets and go home, despite lockdown not being implemented until 8AM Monday. My pal was stopped by them whilst walking to get bread.
Dog walkers are exempt, so I’m going to try and rent a rescue dog tomorrow from Akira
A few lazy days by our freezing villa pool were on the cards but rain is now forecast. Drat.
New Ryanair flights now purchased for Sunday 22/03....I should have changed my Jet2 flight to the same day but stupidity took over.
Assuming they’re flying of course
Literally convoys of camper vans heading up the AP7 this afternoon heading in the Valencia direction....every single one Italian and French registered. Maybe a mass exodus before borders close.
Battening down the hatches and drinking gin. Garlic prawns tonight, followed by mince, peas, home made potato wedges and a bucket of wine. Not driving anywhere soon!
