Day 116 That Darn Passport will do me in

Sunday 15/07/2018 (Day 30SZ) Ceglie Messapica, Puglia 72013, Italy

Long drive back to get passport
What an absolute pain to have to go back 400ks then home 400ks..
And we really needed a down day today with both being so tired... but thankfully we had a fairly good sleep, so we could get going early... away by about 7 am, up the Hwy we go.... only stopping for a cuppa on the way.
We actually arrived an hour earlier than we said we would had a pretty good run today..even the traffic was a little better!!!
We rang the owner to tell him we were arriving early, we had already suggested via text, that we go straight to the Magic Bar to get the key... he gave us instructions to go there head to the unit with the key and go to the top floor to get the passport..
The was I had sent this guy 4 texts and no reply so I took it th St he hadn’t revived them. But the conversation revealed when I talked to him... yes he did get all my texts, the buggar just didn’t reply, even to the one about delaying a day... anyway once we got the key from the Magic Bar all we had to do was head up to the unit to get the passport.. once inside John headed up to the unit, but as I walked in I could see my passport case on the table so the owner. Use not have even been there.. he did say yesterday it was the cleaner who found it... Well either way praise God that it is back safely in my hand again.... at least they were honest and Le me know... mind you I still don’t know what the cleaner did, because the sheets had been definitely slept in when we arrived I made John. Help me turn them inside out to sleep on.... th Colander had mould growing all,over it and most of the cutlery was sitting in a dirty plastic dish I threw out as it had
Ike cocky poo in it... all the dishes were in a mess in the cupboard, I didn’t the first hour when we did get there washing everything and sorting out where everything should fit... looked neat when I had finished but I am under no illusion it will stay like that....

So having my precious passport back we headed back tomtge Magic Bar to give them the key... funny when we arrived all the local men young and old were all standing around chatting just outside the Bar... not sure why, but it looked pretty normal like they do it all the time... must have been about 15 or so blokes there...

Back into the car we go head up the Hwy to a autobarn, roadside cafe have a nite to eat.. then head off again... by about 2 pm we were both getting really really tired, John especially.... so plenty of stops, drinks and ice cream...

We finally hit home around 4 pm had a good run really but tired as.... left overs for dinner then to bed.... now we have done it we are glad we don’t have it hanging over our heads to head back un the AM...Read more
