Calpe greeted us (as a town not a person) with a trip to get Claude's wing mirror repaired. The more alert of you will remember it was smashed going round Norway and we had been driving for several months with it being held together by duct tape and a much reduced visibility. This did not distract us from travelling thousands of kilometres as we knew we would save pennies by getting it fixed in Spain and that indeed was the case. A very friendly company - Euronautica - had ordered in the replacement mirror so we set out to find friends Alan and Annie. You have to remember dear readers, that we had never been to this town before so our knowledge of where we were was not exactly an exact science. You have to remember ... read more

This was quite an achievement by Jane, as up until recently, she has had a morbid terror about flying - even hearing the word used to give her the screaming heebee jeebees !! Now, although still nervous, she is able to complete short flights, so a lot of credit to her. A lot of credit also goes to Rachel who had to sit next to this quivering heap of nerves for two hours as she ate her way through a few sets of Rosary beads !!! Nevertheless, they arrived safely and we picked them up from the airport to drive back ... read more
