It's that time of year - the bags are coming down from the loft - the sun tan cream is being taken out of the drawer - I'm getting a hair cut - well had a hair cut. It's the summer one - 3 on the side with a 4 on top - just in case anyone is interested.



We leave Thursday for Madrid and spend a couple of days there before picking up a car and heading to Galicia and an organic dairy farm. Eleanor is getting her herding skills warmed up! Then after a week we move closer to Santiago de Compostella - which is supposed to be where St. James is buried and is the end of the "Way of St.James" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_of_St._James



But before we get in the car and leave Madrid we've sorted out a tour of the Bernebeu for Friday - http://www.realmadrid.com/cs/Satellite/en/Home.htm just as Real Madrid are having a training session in Bournemouth - so fortunately won't be seeing Ronaldo! We're thinking of making Matthew go in a certain shirt.... could be fun!



Everything seems to be going to plan - car sorted, hotel sorted, travel insurance, driving license,
Nice ShirtNice ShirtNice Shirt

£5 if you wear it at the Bernabeu!
passports....ah yes passports. Taxi sorted to airport, shuttle from airport, shuttle back to airport, Apps for iPad, travel adaptors, camera charged.... going on holiday is all about the planning!


Not long to go before I can feel a cold Cerveza coming along!
