Kia Ora everyone, how are you hope all is well,im doing great after a crazy 2 weeks in London and Spain, I am very glad to say I do not know of anyone who had a friend or loved one around the bombings here and I hope you all can say the same. London is shaken up and using the underground is a bit scary now. Im glad we were all in Spain at the time. I arrived in London on the 26th totally tired and sick, did meet some interesting charaters on the trip however including the Black Ferns on a Candian tour and a very cool dude who owned the corner dairy who took me all the way to the airport. Thanks alot Chow wherever you are! London was crazy as I had no ... read more

Still madly in love with San Sebastian! In fact, I will only accept a marriage proposal if it's made in the big square here, with all the people in their houses around the square throwing rose petals down on us and my fiance on one knee. (Future husbands, take note). So, after we ran ecstatically around the pension for a little while, and took hot showers, the sun came out and we headed out, deliriously happy and hungry for lunch. We stopped in a restaurant where the menu made our mouths water (who am I kidding... all San Sebastian menus are mouth-watering, this one was just the first one we found). Unfortunately, we had mediocre pasta, mediocre wine and mediocre service. To top it off: as she turned to reach into her purse, which had been ... read more

San Sebastian has taken the number one space so far on this trip, and I can't imagine it being replaced anytime soon. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it here!! What a GORGEOUS city!! So, the bus ride took an hour or so. Me, Dan, Miranda and Dominic arrived in the morning headed straight to the Internet Cafe (Donosti-Net, or something). We hadn't already booked accommodation, which we'd been told was not the wisest move as everyone on Earth is looking for accommodation in San Sebastian during the festival. But we were optimistic that we'd find something. So we parked ourselves at computers and began our search. After a couple of hours of no luck, I went outside for a cigarette to relieve the stress a little bit. As I was standing there talking to a few Aussie ... read more

Motorhome News from Europe 4 France - and into Spain!. 28th September 2004 The Pyrenees and Picos It is now just four weeks since our journey began, every day another adventure with new towns and villages, wild open spaces and tree covered hillsides, another mountain to climb, new faces, time for meaningful conversation, and to make new friends. Our journey has taken us through the valleys of the Chateau on the Loire to the verdant pastures of the Dordogne and the Lot, and south into the vineyards of Bordeaux and the beeches and forests of the Atlantic coast. Our first sighting of the Pyrenees was from Lourdes some ten days ago where we turned south-east, then back, south and west, enjoying the spectacle of both French and Spanish mountains and tree lined valleys. In the past ... read more
