It's Saturday night and so off we head to town - The Three Monkeys in the back streets is our choice of venue to warm the old livers up. The Superbock does the trick and then thoughts turn to fodder - Stevo recommends a Nepalese gaff that does superb Momo Dumplings - so we have a wander around and we actually get the lay of the land, there's loads of alleys and side streets with bigger squares not unsuprisingly like Macau back in the day prior to the 1999 handove...

I get up pretty early after a restless night of kip on the Willerby 99 Sofa - The old foot isnt too clever but I dont think it's broken as there was no massive swelling - The only trouble is gee wizz is that I'll be wasting my time in Seville away - I'm not going to risk walking on it and opt for a day of Paracetamols and catching up on the blog - Grant's probalby happy to see the back of me for the day after the amount of moaning I did yesterday.

So much so that me and Grant have started pointing them out to each other....it's really weird...they are almost exactly the same but with very slight differences. Now I would suggest t...

Last time we were in Santander it was nightime and raining so we didnt really get a chance to have a look at the place, this time we've got a bit of time on our hands before hitting the rails to Madrid. Santander is not a bad place at all, what I most liked about it was lots of independent shops, the hustle bustle and a pretty easy going manner of the people there. Everyone is well dressed and I didnt see anyone out in the supermercados in their pyjamas, like I s...
