Well I did actually make it to Spain and I finally managed to get some sort of internet access, so I decided to report in and say G'day. Thanks for the warm wishes all, twas great to meet so many good people in the club. We appreciate your warm wishes and prayers. Spain is interesting. The arrival was a shock, we picked up the hire car at the airport, realising that none of the maps that we had detailed the airport, nore the hotel we were trying to find. On top of that driving in spain is something to behold. Cars all over the place So day 1 was a stressfull experience. Now that we have been here a few weeks though, we are settling into the Madrid groove. Beers are 1.73euros for a 6 pack (about $2.80Aus) and you can get a 1 liter tetra pack of red wine for 39centimos (65c Aus) Suffice to say, we have started an alcohol addiction. The people here are great, although I seem to meet more french people than spanish. The Language is a bit of an issue but we manage to combine some spanish, english and sign language and get by. Fortunately for me most people at work speak english a lot better than my spanish. The car situation here looks bleak, I am astounded how the europeans can manufacture the most beautiful cars in the world and the ugliest. Very few older cars on the road, so I may have to look hard for something that fits my style. Will report back soon Anthony [Report message to a moderator]
