Tu veux une tranchette?

No, je veux deux tranches, s'il vous plait! Manic and I have been spending the last three days in Angers staying with his mate Jean. It has actually cooled down quit a bit with wind and rain and the Alps saw a bit of snow above 2500 meters. We have spent the last two days enjoying the chateaux of the Loire Valley and fine homemade french cuisine. Dinner the other night lasted from 10pm until 2:30am with five courses!!!

Our time in Bordeaux was enjoyable; but unfortunately there isnt much to do in the city! The last afternoon we were in town we went to a quaint little vin shop and indulged in some dégustation (wine tasting) and cultured ourselves. It was good fun, especially because it was free!!!

Our time in Spain was great!!! Valencia is a super fun laid back city...well known for its pyrotechnics. Everyday there seemed to be a firey celebration for something. The night life was also amazing....chilling at the clubs until 4am sipping glasses of Agua de Valencia is not uncommon. Manic and I spent the last day walking down the river playing catch with unripe authentic Valencian oranges....it was good fun.

The night in Sevilla was expensive, after the bitch at the hotel ripped us off for our room, but not after Manic gave her a good bullocking...in Spanish. Thats not all....not impressed we left the room in dissarray; pictures were turned upside down, lights and A/C left on, towel used for ass flossing, piss and hair in the sink, and to top it off...we had our own interior decor of toilet paper strung about....oopps!! Good thing they didnt have any of our passport or credit card numbers! See we were thinking ahead! That night we also met nobjockey...a daft enghlishman from London who preceeded to have a debate about US geography with me...AN AMERICAN. His argument was further faulted by the fact that he has necer been to the states...bloody english!! Turns out he was on the same train the next morning sitting across the isle from us. I didnt talk to him the entire eight hour journey because i was so offended by him the night before. I hope he got the message, but he was thicker then a Gerkhas foreskin, so I doubt it.

Our journey from Lagos to Sevilla was prehistoric to say the least. We left Lagos at 7am: a train, ferry, bus, another train and Manics nextdoor neighbors dogs garden gnomes bicycle later we arrived in Sevilla at 9pm, with two extra english girl in tow. Oh what fun!!

Lagos was a fun touristy Australian provence in the south of Portugal....I swear there were more Aussie there then in Perth. We spent Manics Bday surfing...and it was amazing!!! I had a little trouble leaning too far forward because youre suppose to lean back...it was all those years of snowbording catching up with me!!!

Before Lagos we spent two days in Lisbon laying on the beach, wondering around town, which I think I already elaborated on. It is now 2am and we are off to Luxembourg tomorrow and then back to Amsterdam for a night before moving on for the last four days. Miss you all!!! Hugs and kisses!!!
