Motorway opened after 21:00!!

This is funny: today at 12:00 there were fireworks because of the great opening of the new motorway to Mogan. I left at 16:00 and the motorway wasn't open yet. I called my college at about 22:00 and he told me that they opened the road just a few minutes back! So the road was open to the traffic after 21:00!! 

So maybe tomorrow I'll be able to give it a try ;)

New Motorway open!

Today is the day that the new road from Puerto Rico to Mogan will be opened. I don't know at what time this will be but I hope I get a chance to drive down to Mogan and give a a try :)

The trip is only 6,5 Kilometres long and has 4 new tunnels. There is an access to Taurito as well but only driving from Puerto Rico, not from Mogan. So if you drive from Mogan to Taurito or the other way arround you'll still have to use the old road. 

I drove by at about 12:00 and they were fireworks so I think they will open it soon :)

Rain in Arguineguin!

It has just started raining in Arguineguin a few minutes ago. Nice; we really need some rain as it has been a long time we haven't had some. Looks like it s raining in Playa del Ingles as well. That's nice! Hopfully it keeps raining few a few hours!!

Half a Million Kilometers passed!

So today is the day that our taxi has passed the 500.000 km mark. Not without problems as today the battey broke and lost some of the acid. The smell inside the car was quite disgusting but afer a few minutes it was gone :) Half an hour later I was on the road again ;)

Reaching 500.000

I'm glad to post that our car is now reaching half a million kilometers without any major problems. It's ben almost 2 years now we started working with this car and it is really giving us good results. We haven't spend over 2,500€ in repairs sso that is really great.
Recently many Mercedes have ben replaced by Toyotas here in Mogan and they are also giving great results. The few Seat Altea we had alare slowely dissapearing and also being replaced by Toyotas. There is also a Prius Plus that should start working soon; the first hybrid car as a taxi here in the south of the island :) I'm really looking forward to see how this car will perform here in Mogan with all these hills and turns :)

What a heat!!

It started yesterday but today it's quite hotter than it was yesterday. Currently we have 32 degrees in the shadow and it's already 17:00 in the afternoon! I took the pic below when driving to Puerto Rico to start working... 38 degrees!!! I hate these days with that extreme high temperatures and I hate them even more when I have to go to work :(

What a pity....

Yesterday I drove past that car I haven't seen for quite a long time. I use to see it almost every day driving through Puerto Rico while I was working and I thought the owner has just left. It's a TVR Chimera and yesterday I saw it standing there, with a lot of dirt on it and almost flat tires :(

What a pity!!
