The nearest Costco to where we are currently staying is in Seville, Spain which is quite some distance from where we are staving, actually its 2.5 hours driving mostly on Motorway and over 200 kilometres each way but we were not deterred as we know the quality of Costco and it was a day out to see the countryside. So we left the apartment at about 0915 and headed for the motorway that runs from Portugal in to Spain and the quality of the road surface was up to and if not better than Surrey standards with really large potholes largely on the nearside lane which explains why so many cars were driving on the outside lane on an almost empty Motorway. Along the way there were road repair crews using a most ridiculous method by filling the holes with ready made tarmac in plastic bags leaving them a few minutes and then moving on the next one and in the meantime a large truck comes along and kicks out the recently laid tarmac, this sounds more like India not Spain.
We arrived at Costco and of course it a very large building and there were lost of cars in the car park but inside due to its size it was really easy to walk around. So we purchased a supply of steak, prawns, salmon etc along with some other stuff all of which we can take home should we not finish before leaving. Lunch was the usual hot dog with a coffee and then to head back home after filling up the car with fuel as they had a petrol station at this location but for some reason my UK Costco membership card did not work so as there was not an attendant I ended up paying the non membership price which was still considerably lower the motorway prices.
We arrived back at the apartment at around 1545 and emptied the car of our shopping followed by a well earned cup of tea and a little rest before having dinner comprising of Costco chicken and salad with a glass of wine and then followed by watching a Netflix series which got good postings called ‘Adolescents’ which we thought we would watch over wo nights but it grabbed your attention and we ended up binge watching all four episodes. I was hoping for a good ending but it did not turn out that way.
And so to bed and quiet day tomorrow
