Espana

We landed in Spain to meet up with one of Andrea´s long lost cousins, Pablo, who met us at the airport and patiently waited for us for an hour due to our delayed baggage and then again while we watched Australia bow out of the World Cup as Italy cheated their way in. No hard feelings! Want a safe bet.... Put $100 on Italy to win Gold in diving at the next Olympics.


We stayed with Andrea´s aunty and uncle in Madrid, while we visited almost every single museum possible, where we saw the works of Picasso and Goya to name a few. The Spanish love their art.


We left Madrid and headed for the south of Spain which is full of medieval towns such as Toledo, Cordoba and Seville. They are all very beautiful to look at and wander around, but the best part is the locals' way of life. Early morning starts, midday siestas, late nights, and party on! Great food and drinks make for a perfect lifestyle in the summer heat. We think that Australia should adopt the Siesta! What a great idea!


We are heading for Morocco today for three weeks. We are unsure of the communications status there so may not be able to update for a while. We will do our best.

Congratulations to Tim and Treen who, apart from being responsible for this website, are going to be married this weekend. We are sorry that we could not be there but be sure that we will be thinking of you and having a glass or two of Moroccan something to celebrate.
