After that, when I was driving drove south to Lisbon, I had to change my travelling plan, because there were some road works going on along the highway, obstructing our intended route. So I found myself driving along throughout an old narrow road. Suddenly Out of a sudden, my car had a tyre puncture and I had to stop. Then I tried to call to my insurance company, but unfortunately, they weren´t able to understand me because I could not speak to them in Portuguese, their native tongue.
