so here i was, stuck with a few euro only and i was running low on gas.
i pulled up into a station, and asked if they accepted credit cards.
- no, sorry.
- no problem, thanks.
i kept an eye out for ATMs on my way -- one where i could safely stop without obstructing traffic, that is -- but none in sight. this went on for four more stations, a couple of times passing by BP as i didn't want to give them a cent. not that the others are better, but this is my knee-jerk emotional response.
in the meantime, i was running dangerously low and close to inexcusably late for work. so i thought -- next station that accepts a card, i'm in.
unfortunately, it was a BP. i filled up the tank, and gave them 57 hard-earned €.
clicking any picture will take you to the originals at the big picture at boston.com, where you can see more horror.
