Made it to Spain!!!
My apologies for not blogging sooner - it´s been a very busy few days. Right now we`re in Costa Del Sol, which means coast of the sun...great sun! I may actually get a tiny bit of colour here. So far I´m not much darker than when I left...Miriam on the other hand has gotten quite dark and her ass is a completely different colour all together LOL!

The last time I wrote we were in Nice, France...that has been our favourite place so far. The beach we went to was not sand...it was pebbles and small stones - which is great because you never get dirty. This was also our first experience with topless beaches - it was great - no tan lines (for Miriam anyway...I haven´t gotten any colour at all) We did our day trip to Monaco..it was pretty but we didn´t really like the beach there, so we ate lunch - which was very expensive...€14 for a pizza and €6 for a corona! After Nice we were off to Switzerland, that was definately the prettiest drive so far... mountains and little houses, so pretty. We camped in out tent that night, then the next morning we were off to Barcelona. All of the Busabout travelors and guides were making such a big deal about theft in Barcelona that I didnt really take my camera anywhere...so I don´t really have many pics of Barcelona - but I bought postcards. After Barcelona we went to Madrid for a couple of days...nothing really to do there except shop, sleep and play cards - I mean teach aussies how to play crazy 8´s! LOL We were happy to leave Madrid, no beaches. Now we have nothing else to do BUT go to the beach! I LOVE IT!!!

Well we will be leaving Costa Del Sol tomorrow morning at 8am (Euro Time) and heading off to Seville where we will be staying for one night only. Hopefully that night we will be able to see a flamenco show. After that we will finally be heading to Portugal...the part of this trip I´ve been waiting for since we left Canada! I can´t wait to practice my Portuguese.

Okay well I think I´ve written enough so I´m going to stop and I´ll write again soon...hopefully! Once again, we miss you all and well see you in about a week and a half. Hugs and kisses!

We made it to Europe!
Well we landed in Paris a bit later than scheduled...our flight was delayed an hour and a half. Paris was not all it it was cracked up to be, a bit disappointed. Next we were off to Switzerland...very nice! I really enjoyed the scenery there. Miriam and I camped the night in our tent...it was cozy to say the least. Then we hopped back on the bus and headed off to Nice. The neat thing was that we passed through Italy, so far that was the best food all trip! Now were in an internet cafe in Nice...It seems a bit odd because all of the keys on the keyboard are in the wrong places! It actually seems evil since I,m paying for every minute i use. see i could,nt fint the comma!!!!! Well we will be off for a day trip to Monaco tomorrow, which should be nice. After that we are off to Barcelona, Spain. Well...talk to you soon! We,re having a blast in Europe, but we niss you guys at home. Hugs and kisses!

Day before we leave!
In 23 hours from now we'll be boarding our plane to Paris...can't believe it's actually here!

Just saying a quick good-bye to everyone who's waiting for us to come home safely. We'll be sure to have fun, and we'll be safe. Yes... we both have money belts, and our bags have tons of locks.

The next time you hear from us we will be in Paris! Talk to you then!
