Casa Susana in Spain

My first trip to Spain in December 2011 was exciting and lots of new learning experiences. Started off right from Malaga Air port when Jim decided to have me  as a driver for a hire car to Canillas de Albaida

Canillas de Albaida

I felt scared  deep inside  but with his trust I had to be brave  and put my self on the show. Shock gradually developed into thrill as things went  alright  after I got on the road and maneuver the vehicle OK.

All I needed  was a reminder from Jim that I should  stay on the right rather than  the left that I drive on in  Thailand.

The navigator (Jim)  also had a hard job to do as he had to check on the  map and watch for what the  driver does, so sometimes the direction has come later after the driver already had made a quick decision on the turn after spot a sign.

Every time I drive  oversea I feel very special and feel good of myself as  it is not an everyday life thing so I keep concentrate and appreciate what life has to offer.

I didn't know how far I had driven  but It took me over an hour to get there. The road is narrow and windy along the hill side. I don't like to look down the the cliff so much as it made me a cold feet. Luckily I was in the right lane and the cliff is along on the left.

When we got to Canillas de Albaida, It was a big challenge for us to find Casa Susana . ( check out the link). Every house look almost the same, the road seems to be a path to me. It was a the narrowest road that I ever been on and we even end up with that there is no way we can get through the road as it is not enough room for the car.

If you can not imagine how narrow of the road is , think about the width of road that only one (small) car can pass. There is no way that 2 cars can pass in this single lane so we just had to take chance to get through each road and some road will just too narrow that the can not get through. Can you imagine how to turn a car back?

Eventually we made it to Casa Susana where Jim had not been there for years and that was his first time to visit his new home.

Lot of times when we back home from walk. We couldn't find Casa Susana as we could not locate ourselves (LOL) So I don't need to mention what happen if we were not sober!

 From top view we can see the land mark but once we are down the road , again we cannot see the land mark as it was blocked and we have to try few time to get out of the maze. Every thing almost look identical. Same color of house ( only white) and same roof top color. 

It will be soon that we will be there again for a second time and I can smell the smoke of the adventure already.
