DAY 7… BARCELONA
TO NARBONNE,
FRANCE
And once again… WE ALMOST DIDN’T MAKE
IT. Turns out trying to find diesel in Barcelona city
centre is apparently like trying to find gold dust.
The fuel gauge was getting lower…
And lower…
And LOWER…
Loredana started to PANIC. Maria remained…
well, Maria! And at one point we were quite
literally TOUCHING CLOTH!
BUT Penelope Pitstop pulled through AGAIN
and we finally found diesel before we ended up
pushing her through Barcelona ourselves.
DAY 8… AND IT HAS
NOT STARTED WELL!
Just when Maria & Loredana thought Penelope
Pitstop had put them through enough…
PUNCTURE. No problem, right? We’ll just get
the jack out…
And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is when
things started to get a little… HEATED.
A few bickers, a couple of blame games and
probably some words we can’t repeat on social
media later… they FINALLY managed to get it
sorted!
Safe to say we were stuck in Narbonne for a
few more hours than originally planned… which
unfortunately meant we had to skip our planned
trip to Champagne.
BUT the important thing is…Penelope’s legs
are back to full working order!
The girls are back on the road, still speaking to
each other… just about.
