The light at the end of the tunnel

Since Tuesday I have been a little busy. But there is a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel. It does appear that we can in fact claim for the island government for the damage caused by the rock but in order to do this we had to jump through a number of hoops the first was to register a complaint with the local police in Barlovento, so on Wednesday morning that is what me a Sheila did. At the same time we popped home to feed Tabby who was a bit hungry having not had her supper the night before or breakfast that morning and along the way we stopped to get some more photos from the scene.

The rock and my hand for comparison

The location.

And having got the details yesterday of the person who told us that if we took photos that we could claim. Today we went off to the Island government to put in our claim. Now if any of you have seen The Incredibles then you will know what I am about to talk about. There is a scene in which the superhero tells the old lady exactly which forms she needs to fill in and who to see in order to get her claim paid. We had a similar situication today and as it happened the lady at our insurance company gave us the piece of paper which listed exactly what documents we needed so when we went to talk to the Cabildo we had exactly what we needed and our claim was done very quickly (Thanks to sheila for the tanslations, I still can't get my head round past tenses in spanish). Now all we have to do is wait and see how much the car is going to cost and when the insurance assesor is going to look at it so they can start work.
