Finally back from my spain trip.. sunshine, sea, sand, good food, beautiful buildings, friendly people are all that i found when i was down there. The laid back lifestyle, the late dinners, the relaxed culture deeply attracted me.. Also not forgetting to mention my wonderful travelling buddies william jianyuan and sengchoon, it was great fun and my bridge standard improved exponentially throughout this trip when these 3 great players come together.

First stop was barcelona in which we stayed for 4days.. we got really lucky down there when we got an apartment to stay in.. it was so comfortable that we left house at 12 plus everyday and come back early at night to rest. loads of relaxation in barcelona and we went off for madrid on a 4th day..

Next stop is madrid, it was quite a chui hostel in which we had to share a room wif 2 other people, however there was free breakfast and free internet so it is still pretty convenient. FOod in madrid was fantastic!! we ate loads of tapas for dinner everyday and had mussels and calamari every night.. simply fabulous.

Went to valencia next, spent the one day down there at the beach.. chilling out and eating a final meal of paella.. there was rabbit meat inside..nice.. damn nice.. love this trip man.. feeling the lingering feeling of the trip.. oh well back to reality and to glasglow next.
