Day 46 – Ibi

We started our journey today at around 9:30am. The intention was to do about 250km however it didn’t quite work that way. We ended up taking a wrong turn and joining a toll road. What was worse is that this road took us away from the coast and up into the mountains. We were unable to turn around so had to continue on. It sure got cold especially in amongst the low cloud. The temperature got down to 6*C at one point. Some days ago I did look at this route and planned for a tsp along the way however I didn’t know how high the road was at the time. We opted to continue on towards the coast at Alicante.

Some 512km later (318 miles) we arrived at the parking area. The drive along the shore line gave us a feeling that we could be staying at an interesting place. It was because it was a building site. We made a meal and ate it and during this time I locked on to an unlocked WIFI signal and got Tina another book from the Kindle store which we downloaded to the iPads. The kindle screen got broken many days ago and we cannot use it at present.

I decided that we would look for somewhere else to stay so we arrived about half an hour later at Ibi in the dark. There was one van there who happened to be english. Over all we travelled 560km today which is the longest I thick we have done in a day in the van. However all of the roads were motorway standard so it was easy driving.

I did pick up some free unlocked WIFI in the evening until I think they turned the router off at around 10pm. Time for bed me thinks.

On to Valencia in the morning.
