today's plan: finish packing and drive from a coruña to as far into france as possible ​

(and then find a place to sleep)

made it to near gijón/oviedo

having cofe and some food because I lost the ability to pay attention some 20 minutes ago...

@q66 save travels!

made it to france and taking another break

guess i should put in like, 2 hours more and call it a day

also suv drivers in charge of parking

@q66 It would be funny if someone actually did https://xkcd.com/562/

checked in in a hotel near bordeaux

that's about as far as i had hoped to get

tomorrow i'm losing an hour or two, but i think i *should* be fine...

left bordeaux this morning after having to do some unexpected shopping, but i'm still good on time~

why are french gas pumps stupid though

almost all of them seem to be pre-payment...

Too much theft.
It "worked", delinquents are now siphoning from trunk' fuel tanks :(

@nico this does not seem to be a serious problem in any other country, what's happening

taking a break just outside paris

gotta figure out how to bypass that place despite maps forcing me there

@q66 good luck

everything goes through Paris

@jessew well for one i don't want to drive through paris

for two i cannot because LEZ

i figured it out

moreover places around paris have names that all sound like a huge shitpost, like noisy-le-grand and bussy-saint-georges

@q66 If you allow me to give you a suggestion: be conservative with your gas level when in France. Gas stations are much more scattered there than in Spain (at least on highways).

I committed the mistake of letting my tank empty too much once in France, then stumbled upon a station with construction works that wouldn’t let me in (so I missed it), and… had to stop the car before completely draining the tank (to avoid damage) and call road assistance.

Not happening again, ever.

@cinnamon they seem a little more frequent actually? like every 20-30km you have a rest stop just outside highway (without having to visit a village) and most of them have gas...

@q66 ...is that not normal elsewhere??

@Skirmisher no? normally you fill up your gas and go pay to the cashier in the shop

got a room for the night in lille ​

so i'm still good on timing...

gonna get to my destination today but for now having breakfast
