Salamanca

Have just about recovered from almost a week in Torrevieja with Ben and Charlie - had a really good time and even managed to persuade Will to come to Pacha! Lots of late nights though, as they don´t shut their bar until the last person leaves... But since then we have been to Toledo which was fantastic, and Madrid for an afternoon - got pissed off with hecticness and traffic, plus parking the van was a nightmare! Maybe another time we´ll go by train. Also decided not to go to Lisbon for the same reason, so now we are heading north west to Galicia, spending last night in Avila and a couple of hours today in Salamanca. They are having some kind of fiesat which means everyone is dressed up in traditional garb trying to peddle "authentic" tat - my kind of scene as you know. Still no photo facilities here, sorry, but will try to send some soon.

Van is doing OK but has developed a certain odour over the last few weeks - not sure entirely what this is due to but I have my suspicions (Will+Thetford=mayhem). Sorry to have missed Dan and Simon´s birthdays, hope all had a cool time. Weather is still boiling hot, and we had a cool electrical storm the night before last - although we were out in it so had to speedwalk home - I can´t run in soggy flipflops. Love to all, K&W xx

Good job you didn't run, I saw mythbusters the other day and they proved you get wetter if you ruin in the rain. Though obviously once you're saturated you may as well run anyway.

I went to Toledo last year, and it was fantastic. Madrid is pretty full on, though.

The Hoff is currently in London and in the market for an English gal. Quick Kate, ditch Will and get your ass back here!
