It's been a few days…

Written on Sunday 12th July (2009)

Well I’ve been kicking back and relaxing some since I got here, not been carrying my camera around and spending time with friends and family so not much to tell.  However, being self conscious of this, yesterday I took my camera with me out on an average day with my uncle Mariano… Firstly, we went [...]

Well we set out for Pamplona centre to live it up about 1 or 2 am and Caravan Place and Gregario de Luxe were playing. We’d never heard of them before but they were great, danced ourselves into a very silly mood and then hit the bars to talk and harass strangers until 9 when [...]

After a fantastic night last night (and arriving back at 10am) I got up at 5pm and packed my things and rode down to Covaleda. More tomorrow.

Viva San Fermín!

Still on going.  Pamplona city [...]

I was a little hesitant at Biganos where there was a lot of things going in and out of… sorry about the pun. The roads [...]

Hiya again! I wasn’t able to connect to the net yesterday but we ended up just outside of Le Mans last night in a nice campsite in a quiet town called Beaumont-sur-Sarthe. The trip from Dieppe to Le Mans was nice despite the torturous heat.  This morning Dan and I had to part ways as [...]
