Theres more text than pictures as I didn't keep up on the snaps, I'm carrying everything that I own on my back and it was 40c atleast in direct sunlight and 35 in the shade.. Getting out of Spain after some bad luck since the lockdown in Spain.
Some would say I'm having an adventure but I would say I'm just having bad luck. Still trying to leave Spain before I get stuck in more propaganda lockdowns and up till a few hours ago it hadn't gone so smooth so far.
Back Track
The last two nights I stayed in a private room from Airbnb in somebody's apartment, which was the first time I had ever done that and it was definitely a host to remember that's for sure. Even though I have lived in Spain for around two years in total, it's only been the last week that I've actually ever hung out with a Spanish person without other people around.
I learned quite quickly that my Spanish is really bad, and I knew already that English is very difficult for Spanish people to pronounce and learn easily but to communicate with the host in person was extremely strange.
The host had a dog, so I suggested that we met her outside so the dogs could get to know each other better. We went and sat and ate an ice cream and she pulled out a small joint that she had a pre-rolled and passed me it to try after she had smoked some. It was just leaves as I could taste it, and as I started to smoke it, the old Canadian guy who I met the other day appeared around the corner.
After a very short while or almost instantly actually, the host women got up and started to do some kind of chigong and was suddenly stood in the middle of the icecream area, and with me realizing that she was a little bit trippy hippie. The Canadian guy found it also so quite strange just like I did and after a short while I made hints that I wanted to go.
We got to her apartment and I made a joint, and by this time it was already 20:00 or something. I had been walking in the hottest part of the day which completely drains my energy and I also couldn't take a siesta and really I just wanted to lay down and relax. I was smelly and couldn't get my things out of the squat so I had no clothes with me.
The host went a bit phsycotic from taking some puffs on my spliff and suddenly she was even more spacer than before.
It was SSS though that I was smoking definitely a strong one!
It got very weird and I started to feel very uncomfortable, she seemed to be very bossy and was completely in denial on certain things, instead of having a conversation. Some people just shouldn't try weed with high with THC content because it really does change everything for some. There was a point where I started to press a point on my shoulder and she said "Stop it - That's discusting me!" - it got so ridiculous that I just said goodnight and went to bed.
She was up until late just cleaning (ocd) and the next morning I went on a mission to get money from a btc atm and when I got back she said she was awake until 6am. Worrying. Oh yeh, rich tea biscuits, are a nutritious food apparently!
She was an interesting human, but yeah she just should not smoke cannabis because it changed her energy completely.
The fuck you mr policeman piece of paper...
Yesterday I had to go back to the Bitcoin atm and to cash out the last of my 'liquid' crypto. I went to my appointment to the doctor - the special Doctor who can give out permits for people who don't want to use chemical government drugs for treatments, and who would rather use the cannabis plant instead.
It basically says that I can grow marijuana plants for my own personal consumption and what the THC and CBD has been prescribed for. I can make concentrates, oils and such and cannot be prosecuted for smoking or growing a plant. (Fuck yeh!)
I got that all done yesterday and walked 20 km by the end of the day. I have old blisters on my feet, from the river bed and now I got newer blisters. I did buy some new shoes because my bare foot ones were worn out in a year already which is quite sad.
I had a car ride booked for today after the last one being the Monday before last, so 10 days ago, and couldn't fit my dog in the car because they thought I had tiny dogs like a chuiaua - so I got left behind.
I had learned the size differences of dogs from English to Spanish and adjusted my description when I was asking the next one.
I found one heading to Murcia and on the profile it said that's the driveway accepts pets, and even the first thing I wrote to him was that me and my two dogs (a medium dog and a smaller dog) would like to drive with him to Murcia.
I started to work this morning from the Airbnb but it was quite some kilometers and my rucksack is very heavy now. I ended up taking a taxi which didn't cost much and then I realized that the dogs didn't have their collars on.
I would need them to take the car that I was taking so they can be secured in the car with some rope, and realised set the host has taken them off but not put them back on while she gave them a baby wipe bath yes, strange, I know.
I'm pretty sure she had OCD and possibly bi bipolar but maybe not. Maybe in this new normal there are many traumatic people kicking around unable to be human anymore from fear.
She used so many cleaning chemicals it was worrying. I bet most households have doubled up on the cleaning and gone insane. I had to hold my breath when I went into the toilet because there was one of them those fragrance things stuck into the wall.
I message to her to ask about the dog collars and she offered to bring them to where I was going to take the car from. she arrived and then I went to meet the guy who was going to drive. he had no clue, how I thought I have that I had 2 dogs and even though his profile said he does - he doesn't, plus he never even read the dam messages I sent him properly.
So I am back to square one in Spain in Granada, shitting myself about being stuck in a lockdown again and it's nearly 40c in the shade. It's already nearly August and then the flu season will come and then the government's will really start the fuck us up, if not before!
I'm sat at a Cafe place called Casa de Corona which means the house of Corona, but I need to go soon to go back to a shop where I purchased a tablet (finally spending money that I want to spend) because its playing up and not working.
I'll catch up tomorrow back up to date now that I've finally started moving!
Repsol Garage 350km from Granada in Murcia, anyone around?!
Big Love, @Movingman
Keep the stories coming and keep Moving!
Just uploaded a vid! Now that I can again!
Lol you are in the Corona café.
Haha fucking classic, it was across the road and was so inviting 🤣
So where do you want to go? Just out of Spain?
I'm so happy to be in Montenegro now and not in Germany. The people here are quite relaxed. Yesterday two guys gave me ride up from the beach to where my van was parking. One of them spoke a little English, and he said "No problem corona, eh? All political!" :-)
Hi @anafae, I'm of back to Norway, well stop off at North Denmark in Thy, and then over to Norway to visit @liberstad and then to go to my cabin near Oslo and to sell street magerzines again (didn't want to but spent all my cash and hive due to lockdown)
Good call, I will avoid Germany and go for belguim or Holland to skip along the coast to Denmark. Your a diesel nomad?!
I don't know if it's any better in Holland and Belgium, I hope so.
Yes, a diesel nomad, and trying to become something like a digital nomad, too. My plan was to play music for tourists and maybe sell some art. But that was before lockdown ^^ So I really feel you!
I don't have much Hive Power yet, but I'll support your work on hive as best as I can :-)
That's sweet of you. Yes, the world has changed for buskers and artists, even to sit on the street with a hat out has gone really bad too hahah. Digital nomads are the future,although I know this is my last travel because I will never get either an App, vaccine or microchip implant so I accept that in the future I will be a non-movingman but atleast I will die free!
It's very possible to make a living from here if you enjoy to stare at the screen all day hahahah, which I don't that's for sure! You could also join on Discord app because thats where the sociableness happens, there are tribes as well to make friends on.
I'm mainly a traveler, because I don't know yet, where to stay ^^ But I hope, I can be a non-moving-woman someday, too.
I like to finally have a possibility to show my stuff to people, that's the main reason I'm here. I don't know if I can make a living from it because I'm really not a computer person actually. It still takes me hours to make a post ^^ But maybe it can help a little bit feeding me and my diesel home for a while.
Have a good night in Murcia, Mr. Movingman :-)
Did you not master the art of the dumpsterdive? Containeren auf Deutsch 😉 that's the best way to save money and get better food than you would want to buy. I use an app 'write sms by voice' to do speech to text for posts, then copy and save to a notepad. After loosing long posts you learn to get that rythum well..
I got to a gas station and will sleep here tonight, the staff just closed up and brought me out a hot fresh baguette!
Sleep time, goodnight!
Only did it once in Germany, but never tried in Montenegro so far. I'll think about it.
It's not the typing that takes me so long, but the language. I'm still not used to writing in English. I do look up a lot of words and phrases. I'm sure it's mainly my German perfectionism ^^ But it gets better by the time.
Hope you get a ride today!
<3
You lead a very strange life dude. Never let anyone muzzle you! (glad I don't have to sniff your feet I must admit)
I'll be remembering this post when I next light up in a few hours...
Haha well someone's got to be a freek! Thanks for you vote sir 😀
