Sanatorium Ride

Sanatorium Ride

Well, me and the mrs had a nice run out today from Calpe to the Sanatorium at Fontilles which is the last remaining leper hospital in Spain. (Very local to us all).
Now before you guys say "was there pieces of body parts lying around" ! No there wasn`t. I shook a gentlemans hand there and it didn`t come off so I guess the hospital has been a success over years.
As recently as 1909 the Sanatorio admitted its first 6 patients under the care of Father Carlos Ferris. Now according to info there are still 60 people living there in the sanatorium who have spent most of their lives there.
After a look around we continued on to Benimaurell where we stopped for a beer at a very nice restaurant called Venta Del Collao. We didn`t eat anything but the menu looks good so we will deffinately be visiting again.
After the liquid refreshment we carried on and picked up the road to Castell De Castells which we all know and headed for home.

A nice run out . Good to be back on the 1300.

Oh yes after we got home , I took the CBR out  for a short run locally ,having adjusted various settings the previous week.  Came home laughing thats all I can say.

Cheers Folks, hope you are all ok, maybe one day we will all catch up again.

Re: Sanatorium Ride

Hope the meal didn't cost an arm and a leg. And that you didn't drink so much that you came home legless.
They can't sue me for these statements since they don't have a leg to stand on.................
After all the statements are  (h)armless. blush

Re: Sanatorium Ride

Talking to another fellow there he told me that he had just been nicked for speeding,doing 160 in a 120 limit.
I asked him why he was going so fast.

He replied

I left my foot on the gas peddle.
