My dad has a theory that three major mishaps happen on trips. So there's no point sweating it when they do. And if there are fewer than three, you should just be happy!
The first was that I got sick, and couldn't ride for most of the vacation week.
The second — in Girona I smashed my laptop screen. I had to buy a portable ARZHOPA brand monitor for 130 euros.
The third one just happened. I missed my train from Girona to Alicante, a 5-hour ride. A bus is a no-go — it takes 12 hours. I barely managed to snag a new train ticket for 100 euros. Obviously, I lost the time I could have spent in Alicante. I'll get there in the evening.
There was also a bonus mishap that sorted itself out. The courier didn't pick up my bike on time (the day before yesterday). Fortunately, after costing me some nerves, he did pick it up yesterday.
