Y Viva España...

Just returned from my first trip to Spain.  Was not sure what to expect but it was hot and dry.  I had expected that.  We left Gatwick at OMG o'clock on the 8th. to arrive in Alicante around ten.  Picked up the rental VW Golf which was just about big enough for four hefty gentlemen and associated baggage, drove west to Murcia then on to Mazeron.

Spent most of the time just relaxing in and out of the heat - the villa we were borrowing had a jacuzzi on the roof, so spent a lot of time in there with the temperature set below the outside.  Slapped on plenty of factor 30 so no tan - not that I was after one!  Did a little bit of touristic stuff - best beloved went out to one of the local markets on the Tuesday and we took a trip out to Cartagena on Thursday but other than that just relaxed.

Back to earth with a bump tomorrow...

Moosic...

For no other reason than I forgot gotmoof's birthday last week, here's some cows partying on down...
