Do you have an unlocked smart phone ? I think you can hot spot the NOS card
the card itself comes apart into 3 sim formats, so should fit something.

No campa. That's not happening either !! No major drama though. I enjoy the travelling, the antisipation of wether or not I get internet!! And the thrill of the chase!!! At the moment though, Spain is winning in the internet stakes!!

Right people today I came out on the bike, exercise is much needed, and boy am I getting some!!!
Went the wrong way out of site for 3 km, now back on track, but I'm afraid I'm doing more walking pushing the bike uphill than riding!! Stopping occasionally to send or receive a message and taking a well early break!!
I'm looking for albuefera shopping and the Iceland that's near there! But I can feel I'm getting closer!! When I finish my coffee I will be off on the next stage, wich is a massive hill for a km or so , so more pushing !!
I am trying not to think of the distance and hills, just the prize at the end , and we all know what that is, don't we!!!!
So I'm going to pay and be on my merry way,, but I'm thinking every time I get to go down a hill, I have to come back up it on the way back. And my little legs are starting to feel it !!
The route so far. Albuefera new town. Then back to the old town then back to the camp then up to the marina now on to giau or whatever it's called, but I know I'm heading for albuefera shopping !!! Chat later. Ian. Xxxx.

How many can you carry back? Have you got a basket on your bike?

Wow, now I am impressed, nowt wrong with your fitness, we go on a bus and it takes ages
Yorkshire cry HOW MUCH?
Blimey, I got 240 PG Tips for £2.75 yesterday!
Well done though, you certainly have will power where tea bags are concerned!!
OP
OP
Right. I was lucky!! Only 2 large boxes left. But I got them. 480 t bags will last me till I move and when I do I will drive here first!! Now all I have to do is cycle and push back!!! Another 3 hrs I reckon !! But just up the hill from the old town is a big roundabout with dolphin statues,, if I can get there then it's all downhill!! God I'm looking foreward to a nice cuppa later,, my mouth is watering already ! Only 1 problem, Iceland don't do carrier bags, and to carry these home I need to get into my smallish rucksack, so I need to get a carrier from somewhere else to decant teabags !!! ( Did you see what I did there? Decant,,, I'm getting posh!! ). Lol.

It's very important for my sanity, whatever the cost !!! Now I see there's a macro here and I have got my card, I used to be able to get a bag of 1200 in there for about 20 quid in uk so I'm gonna have a look !! Xx

Yes & the dogs asleep.
Macro, you'll get a 'pasaporte del dia' well that's what I get here used along with the UK card. Never found tea bags in the one up here. Then again never saw a fish counter in any Uk one.
If you come to Poole the Makro has a fish counterYes & the dogs asleep.

Actually your probably right mata! It's just that it's mostly uphill for two miles going and the road back is easier !!
