Yesterday, travelling back from Almeria on the AP7 we had a puncture. Our car could not be missed, four women, four suitcases and a bewildered look on our faces trying to decipher the instructions on the automatic jack. Did anyone stop? not on your life. We all commented that if that had been in the UK, any guy worth his salt would have stopped to assist. As it happens we sorted it and were back on the road in 20 minutes. No men required.

The RM2 from ÇAlhama through to Cartagena is looking good. They are expecting it to open February 2008. However, dont do as I did this morning and drive around the Fuente Alamo roudabout twice, this part is actually open so you join the motorway at the roundabout and it takes you through to Alhama or to join the AP7.

I am a little confused since the new AP7 opened. What would be the simplest way to get to Cartagena - i want to visit the shopping centre on the outskirts where the Toysarus store is. I think its called the Mediterraneo? There seems to be so many options from Mazarron I want the easiest. Thank you.
