Slowly but surely
Sometimes there's no need to complain about the nonchalant slowliness of the Andalusian way. Do you remember I told you, youpi...my camera will be delivered to me on Monday? Well...today is wednesday and there's still no camera in sight. It has been shipped from Madrid to a transporter in Granada without any problem by Canon service center. And it seems that this transporter is either using mules or just too busy. At least today, he called me and we were able to solve a minor thing. He actually sent someone on monday and tuesday, but they now realized, the messenger knocked at a wrong number....So we're back to square one. The manager on the phone was very sorry, he even made me laugh by saying he would himself in person deliver my camera to me, tomorrow morning at 10am sharp. We'll see !
edit on thursday :
I waited for the transportista (Envialia) from 10 to 12 this morning. Hum...would you be surprised if I tell you noone showed up ? The worst thing is that it is impossible to contact them as their phone line is disturbed. In the end I called the Envialia center in Madrid who luckily had a mobile phone number to give me and I could at last talk to the transporter who was to come this morning. He was too busy to pass by this morning and will come at 6pm or a bit later....Ouf...Yes...slowly but surely...I'll get my cherished camera back!

I do hope your camera has arrived now :-)
I hope so, for your sake. It is not easy to be without one's camera!
Take it easy... why rush?
You can always phone a few days later.
LOL
ooohh!
The slow life of Spain is one of the things I miss the most, though I understand why it can be totally annoying sometimes.
But think of all the perks you have! Helado, churros con chocolate de Cafe Futbol, beautiful views, the Alhambra...
I really hope, that he shows up with your camera as he promised. Your pictures are so good - I always enjoy your posts!
Sending you good camera delivery energy !!!!
