Eva Walters commented on Day 3: Valencia: freeing the bikes from storage

Congratulations on making it to Valencia, and to a hotel with a 10 jammer breakfast! So glad things are going well for you now after a difficult journey. It's great you'll be staying in Europe for three months. We look forward to following along, especially your time in Mallorca!

This is where I'd rather look at -14F. At least it would be warmer in my head.

I missed the point when I saw this and didn’t notice that the overhead sign is reversed. No wondermyou were confused.

Yeah, I usually try to avoid certain airports (Pearson, CDG, Zurich) for various reasons. If not avoidable, I try to allow lots of time in case things go awry, as clearly you did. Unfortunately, not enough to cover the big delay in Calgary.

Often there is no choice but to go through a big airport, and then short transfer times demand assistance. CDG does try, but for us, for example, they had to stickhandle two or three wheelchairs, one train, and one bus. It's not surprising that they eventually dropped such a slippery ball. I shudder to think of negotiating the place without a guide!

It’s sounding to me like the “assistance” offered at airports isn’t really worth it. Or maybe it’s just CDG?

We are detouring slightly by Monfrague on the Via Plata - it's famous for vultures. Don't know Maison des Vautours - where is it?

Maison in French anyway is just a house. Don't know how to say mansion, except maybe chateau.
