Después de un mes en Barcelona, se acerca el feriado del primero de mayo... Con Simonee, Scheny y Alfredo decidimos planear un road trip de Barcelona hasta Almería bordeando las costas del Mediterraneo de Espana. Decidimos alquilar un carro, cuestion no tan facil por cuestion de reconocimiento de licencias en Europa y por falta de disponibilidad de carros con caja de cambio automatica. A raiz de esto, seria yo el unico chofer. El viaje duraria 4 días, del 30 de abril al domingo 3 de mayo. Ida: Saliendo de Barcelona, iriamos hasta Almería, nuestro destino mas alejado de Barcelona, para poco a poco ir subiendo hacia la capital catalana. De esta manera, el regreso no seria tan pesado con la caravana de autos y distancia. Despues de unas 4 horas monotomas de carretera aburrida decidimos entrar ... read more

Kaere alle derhjemme! Vi har nu vaeret afsted halvdelen af tiden. Og i vi har for nogle dage siden bevaeget os over paa den vestlige halvkugle. Der er sejlet over 3000 kilometer. Nu er vi paa Costa de la Luz og her er varmt! Badevandet kommer lige ned paa 26 grader om natten - luften nogenlunde det samme. Vi har haft nogle herlige dage med Jacob, Soeren og Jeppe paa Mallorca og Ibiza. Det har vaeret skoent for drengene at have legekammerater med. Vi dyrkede det glade bugt-cruising-liv i nogle fantastiske smaa calaer. Jacob og drengene er rejst igen og nu er vi paa det spanske fastland og nyder de smukke byer og faar sejlet en masse. Joy og Jacob er med os i disse dage. Drengene har faaet nye forsyninger af spil og film, saa ... read more

Since the 4th of Feb. We have been moving around a bit. I really should update this blog more often. We’ve done a strange sort of circuit really. North to Lisbon, east to Evora, across the border into Spain and back south to El Rocio/Seville (almost completing the circuit back to the Algarve.) Then we have driven to Marbella and are presently in the Cabo De Gata National Park just east of Almeria on the far east bit of Andalucia. Our current total mileage is just over 7,000 miles and we’re about to start heading north on our long return from the sun. It’s exciting to tour again but the roadwork can be draining and we need the odd recovery days to rest. To try to sum up the last few weeks I’d say It’s been ... read more
