Los Monegros / Zaragoza in August 2014!
Great Memories from a Vespa Journey… in retrospect.
Today was not exactly my best day.
After my Farewells in Madrid, I just made 80kms and the bike broke down. I could fix it thanks to a friendly, helpful polish Truckdriver who gave me a cable connector. Later I met the awesome Cuatro Acentos Escúter Club and had a good time there.

Taxi Drivers can be heroes, too
After an awful night, I searched the roadside again for some kilometers at daylight till it became too crazy hot. Then I send a message to the guys from Cuatro Acentos Escuter Club and they did not hesitate a moment to rush out into the desert to save me! Only thanks to my heroes Oscar and David, two Taxi Drivers from Zaragoza I was able to continue to Perpignan! First, they bought me drinks and fed me, then helped me look for the wallet again, and then simply offered me 100€ so I could continue my trip. Real Friends are the ones that save you in the desert! Literally!
In Perpignan, I was able to coordinate with my family to get western union transfers from home every 10 days. That was the only way to do 12.000 km more to finish my journey after 22450 km.
Memories are the best souvenir!
No problems, no losses, no story!![](https://la-vida-vespa.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Los-Monegros-650x433.jpg)
