Bilbao / San Sebastian with Anna&Fi!!


Awesome so it is family weekend in northern spain!

All met up in Bilbao, cruised the city for a day or so, grabbed a car and shot off to the coast, mint coastline all the way to San Sebastian, i got some Saturday night fever going on while the youngans hit the hay, next day we hit the NW coast weather wasn't the greatest so it was a quick look at the beach, local market then back to Bilbao to get our Guggenheim on. . Pretty amazing piece of architecture, very out of place in the city of Bilbao but cool building none the less, plenty of cool pieces of modern art inside as well, well worth a geeze.

All and all a great weekend, good times catching up with fam and hanging out :)

Portugal delivery


joined the Boss open60 in Barcelona and had a pretty sweet 5 day trip round the bottom and up to Portomao in Portugal. Mostly on the wind so didn't get to stretch her legs that much but she was in one piece when she got to the other end.

Only got to spend a day in portomao, was a bit resorty and touristy in bits, Portuguese is so far from spanish that there was no way i was going to understand it! would like to go back and explore a bit more oneday as both the south of spain & morrocan coastline looked very cool with large peaks rising out of the med..

Croatia..

After spending a week in Palma, I had the unfortunate occurrence of being shipped off to Croatia as the fix it man on a 100ft Swan, Gutted!!

Flew into Split & stayed in the old town, beautiful little harbor with a great old town and some real cool old buildings, squares that pumped long into the night and nice weather to top. On the boat the next day and sailed north up the coast to Primosten, crystal clear waters, idyllic seaside beaches, Is fully on my list to go back and spend a week or so there.
