It rained steadily all night; no trouble hearing it on the tiled roof. By 9:30 we had arranged a car from Low Cost Rentals, which provides a pick-up/drop-off service. By 11:30 the father of the Owner/Operator arrived to get us and with notes from Google Maps to plot our route home, we were off. Our driver arrived from Hungary 50 years ago and entertained us with stories as we travelled back to sign the paperwork.
Tom drove back from the rental agency and I navigated; playing to our strengths! Six round-a-bouts but we did it! A few more times out and I'll be brave enough to drive! Relieved to arrive home without getting lost! After a quick lunch we grocery-shop in earnest. This time we found our way to the New World shopping centre with ease. We now have several local white wines chilling, fresh local fruits and vegetables.
We discovered a Cheese shop - old world smells and Dutch expertise. Hans has lived here for 23 years, a chef, baker and maker of cheese. After several taste tests, we brought home a few different kinds! We are now ready for our first picnic! Just like Spain, except the wine was more than 99 cents Euro.
