and the magical mystery tour begins

6 rather pasty white types board a train for stanstead airport.

mr wood
mr noble
mr spiers
miss cuevas
miss ghafouri
mr wernej

they know good times are a mere 2 hour plane ride away. they are visibly bubbly and excitable (almost Chihuahua like). i wonder if they can sense the fear of the poor gentleman that they all decided to sit next to, surround if you will?

the flight goes according to plan - some would say even better. with 'ozzie mic' as pilot and telling them that they would be 'taking off, chucking a left, heading over the big river, over france and then into spain where it is bloody hot' [NB: yes, the pilot did actually talk like this. was brilliant]

so they arrive in spain to confirm 'ozzie mics' status as one the great minds in the world - it is bloody hot. 45 degrees of bloody hot.

the tone is set for the rest of the spainish adventure - laughs, heat and back sweat.

miss vananta joins the fold.

they are meet by miss cuevas' associate [olga for those in the know] and her posse [juan calos for those in the know] and whisked off to the palatial surroundings of 'mi casa grande'. the group are over whelmed. expecting to stay in a sweat-box-hostel, the intricate tiles and ornate ceilings of 'mi casa grande' are much more suitable surroundings.

the team, now complete with the arrival of mr harris and miss johnson, turn their collective attentions to the amazing food on offer (valenica being the home of paella after all) and the ice cold sangria - the holiday has now begun.

the team are flat out for the next few days - eating, sunning, drinking, swimming, napping, eating, sunning (see the pattern forming). in between these intensive sessions some of valenica's sites are taken in. The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias is something else.

With so many amazing buildings on the one site the team cannot help but go 'whoa, nice arts centre'.

the rest of the time spent in valencia the team spend trying to work out what is going on in planet spiers

the saga continues. more photos can be found here
