We had to be in the Faro Hospital, 26 miles away, for 07.45, this morning, for a follow up check, after Jennie's crash.
Tried to find a taxi available and even looked at, the newly arrived Uber.
The Mayor was having a beer with some locals, as we walked by, across the road., Saturday, afternoon.
He lurched across, asking if was all going ok ?
We mentioned our problem.
He replied that a functionary of the Parish Council would collect us, at 7 am, today.
Sure enough, a 28 year old Fiat minibus clattered up our lane... Piloted by our Mayor himself..!
White knuckle ride.. !
He told us to ring him, when we were done...
This guy works 25 hours a day, 8 days a week.
We said we'd try Uber again...
It worked a treat.... Half the price of a proper Merc taxi.
I'm beginning to run out of reasons why we should ever consider returning to Blighty, when we're allowed.
