Tuesday - Overcast My phone woke us up this morning, it was the bank. They weren't calling in regards to my broken log in device. It was fraud detection, they were calling to see if it was me using my debit card overseas. It was good of them to call me for once. They usually don't call you at all, they just put the card on hold, until you make the expensive call to them and answer a bunch of questions. The bank has done this a number of time to Kim and I while ...

Monday - Fine Our time down by the sea was perfect. It was nice and warm and we went for a swim everyday. A day at the beach has been long over due, we haven't been to the beach since Egypt last december. We spent the last 4 days pretty much doing absolutely nothing. We did go for a few walks around town now and then. We did some laundry, scanned and emailed some documents. The only real reason we left the flat or the beach was to go to the store to buy more ...

Thursday - Fine We were up at 5am today. Which gave us plenty of time to have breakfast, get ready and catch the metro to the bus station.

We drove through stunning desert scenery, there were lots of olive tree farms too. The further south we went, the more mountainous the landscape became, but that didn't slow...

Wednesday - Showers then Sunny We woke up to the sound of rain and thunder this morning, which was a surprise because the forecast last night said it would be sunny and 30 degrees. We got out of bed and went back to the nice Spaniards cafe and had the same breakfast as yesterday. After breakfast we realised that because of the storm, we weren't going anywhere for awhile. So we went to the supermarket to buy some food for lunch, and then went back to the hotel ...

Tuesday - Sunny The night bus wasn't too bad, think I got a couple hours sleep. One thing that I don't understand is why people are making phone calls at 3 in the morning, on a bus! Who the hell are they calling? The lady next to me was on the phone from about 2-4am. We got dropped off at a metro station in Madrid and it was very easy from there to get to our hotel. 15min on the train then a 5min walk from the station. It's in a great location, it's right in t...
