WIFI - The Blogger´s Nightmare

The Blog updates have been seriously impeded by the local WIFI heirarchy which does not seem to respect our position, turfing us off usually as we are about to conclude the day´s events and all of the contents are lost.  I say seriously as our first line editor has taken to bed with a case of the computer yips born of frustration from lost data.  I will try to bring things up todate on the hotel computor which seems to have a stuttering keyboard issue (maybe missing some ¨g´s¨)......So the ride to the station was fun as the bike path shares with the sidewalk and we just mosey our way with the crowd.  Tickets bought and we begin the half hour wait for our train on track 8.  Once on the train we note with alarm that the board announcing the destination of the train does not include OUR destination and sure enough, as we slowly pull out, the security guard confirms that we are on the wrong train.  Like everyone we have met so far, he takes a personal interest and meets with a colleague and they determine that we can get off at a station 3 stops away and they will direct the local guard to ensure we get on the right train following.  We arrive in Lora del Rio and after a quick tour of the town we head off in the 90F heat for a 28 k ride to Palma de Rio a beautiful little town built around an old walled city We asked a young fellow if the hotel we saw advertized was the best in town and he nodded, adding that it was the only hotel in town! It turned out to be a lovely place and debated whether to use it as a base for day trips for a few days but decided over dinner that we should carry on to Cordoba tomorrow and then find a place southof there in the Lucena area to stay for a few days of cycling in the mountains; cuz you can´t get enough of those hills you know!
