Wow Johnzap...are you colaborating with my spouse? LOL Being from a poor north eastern European country he would never take a taxi unless unavoidable. But unfortunately he does not like pizza and pasta ! As we stay for more than a couple of weeks, we rent a place with a cocina and cook and eat all those foods that are relatively tasteless and more expensive in the northern countries
We have always taken the bus at the highway and then hopped on the camionetta, but this year we were travelling with another person who would not do that.
Thanx for everyones input.
