So theres been quite some time since i updated the site and theres so much i have to say. Anyway i stayed in london until the 13th of July having found a nice little honda accord ‘94 with leather interior, sunroof, air con, cruise control etc. Pretty nice ride and it only cost 1400 pounds. The main problem was insurance was 730 punds for 6 months for fire and theft. YES thats right, half the price of the car. Not to mention i had to pay road tax for a year 165 pounds and i had to get a new stereo and an immobilizer fitted another 250 pounds, so all up it cost me 2545 pounds. Yep a lot of money…. and because the post office wasnt open on sundays i couldnt get the tax sorted until late monday which meant i would miss san fermin (AKA running of the bulls). Needless to say i wasnt happy and it was looking fairly ominous as to how the car idea was going to fare. Anyway as soon as i paid the tax i was outta there and headed down to dover to catch the ferry to calais. The ferry to Bilbao (near san sebastian) was about 800 pounds one way with a car which pretty much ended that idea. So as i zoomed down to san sebastian trying desperately to make it to the bulls i went through the north and west of france, passing through rouen which has a beautilful cathedral where joan of arc was burnt at the stake, i ended up at Mont St Michel, a beautiful monestry set on a small island on a tidal river. It was absolutely awesome. i didnt get there until 12pm so i just crashed in the car (never did it after that) and in the morning i decided to check it out…. after walking through the little island i was off again. Driving through bordeaux and eventually making it to san sebastian
