El viaje continua...

It has been a rather long time since our last post, and this is due to the fact that we have been in Britain for a month - rather longer than we expected due to the joys of finding new tenants and having to wait for them to move out in order to check the flat is looking alright and to fix a couple of bits and bobs.

It has been great to catch up with family/friends, chocolate/cheese eating and wine drinking in the past four weeks. We have also had the great privilege of being in the country in time to watch the final of "Britain's Got Talent" and "The Apprentice" (although we feel slightly impure now we have done so). We have been to France and spent the last week driving around Scotland both to do some sightseeing and to visit Gary's family. Gary's parents Joyce and Graeme have nicely put up with us staying at their house in Southend on and off throughout the month of May... but it is now nearly time to go and give them some space (with regrets - it's very comfy out here!) and continue our travels, this time going out West to South America.

So - if everything goes according to plan, we should be off at the end of this week or the start of next week. Watch this space and get the Spanish dictionaries ready - la primera cosa que vamos a hacer cuando llegamos en America del Sur es ir a una escuela durante 3 or 4 semanas para revisar nuestro espanol. It has been quite a while since we have spoken Spanish so it is all a bit rusty!
