I arrived from Barcelona to Valencia and still felt a bit ill when a friend of mine picked me up at the station. The next day I had to visit a doctor and got conformated the fear that my tonsels had gone bad. The next five days happened on antibiotics. This seemed offcourse pretty sad, but I was with friends that I love and they have often enough seen me drunk. At the same time they also treated me as they allways call me. As the little sister who is all the time about to do something without thinking. So five days without drinking. Interesting! It was some great days. I tasted some wonderfull homemade Paella and was sightseeing the center plus having many a botellon beeing the only one not completely lost in translation. ... read more

Sorry I haven´t had a chance to do a blog in ages. We left london on july first and have been making our way around the coast of Spain and Portrugal. I´ve been having a ball and am geting a fab tan. Fist stop was Paris to see the sights then we traveled through Bordeaux for a bit of culture and wine tasting before the mayhem of Pamplona and the running of the bulls.

We traveled back to Spain after the wedding, arriving back to Valencia about 9pm Monday night. Greg and I were lucky enough to stay with our friends Brett, Lou and their daughter Clare for the next four days. Brett and another friend of ours Tim are working for team Alinghi, the defenders of the America’s Cup that will be held in Valencia next year. The port where all the teams are located is amazing, unfortunately I didn’t get any shots as photographs were not allowed  I didn’t realise until now just how much money is invested in this event. We managed to go out for dinner, one night with Brett, Lou, Tim and Kim, it was really good catching up with everyone. One of the days Greg and I went exploring around the old town ... read more

Valencia, land of Oranges was a very cool city. It had a huge park in it that used to be a river, it flooded the city once upon a time so they decided to turn it into a park! The only bad thing was that we were there on a Saturday and a Sunday, and Sundays in europe are pretty much dead. Still, we managed to have a night out drinking Agua de Valencia, which is freshly squeezed orange juice, champagne and vodka, one of my favourite spanish drinks so far. We saw a traditional spanish band playing which was awesome, and just generally soaked up the atmosphere. The next day we wandered down to the beach which was massive, and filled with people as it was a sunday. It was really hot, about 36 degrees ... read more
