8 guys flew
into Madrid from different parts of Europe for 4 long days and
3 very short nights! The weekend took on a very "Deliverance"
theme with plenty of constant laughter. Please don't ask us what
Madrid was like 'cause we haven't got a clue!
The cast were,
in order of appearance: Chris, Scottish Martin, Jonjo, Michael,
Thido, English Martin, Andy and me. Jonjo
made himself famous throughout Madrid whilst maintaining amusement
levels and (when he was awake) full-on 'Hi-DI-Hi' Style entertainment
for his roommates in spite of fading rapidly every night!! I'll
let the pictures tell the rest of the story ....

Transferring
in Paris - Chris the Kiwi just realises that he's left his All Blacks
Rugby shirt at home
|
We met with Jonjo
at Paris CDG. One of the weekend's rare sites of Jonjo awake &
standing upright! |
We decided to go
to a Tapas bar on Friday night after arrival. Michael was our resident
tapas expert and translator |

Has Jonjo just
told Andy a funny joke??! |
"Sort it
out Spike!" |
Jonjo, how's your
dinner? By now we all know the answer :-) |
Then we moved
onto some Spanish bars. Madrid never sleeps! |
We're warming up!
But trying to take it easy as we have a long day ahead tomorrow |
Meanwhile, Jonjo
fades dramatically ....
|
...and before
long he's horizontal again! 3:30am and we all enjoy an early night |
Picking up the
hire cars saturday midday to drive 130kms north to Sebulcor |
|
Eventually
we arrive at "Restaurant Gregoris" to test out the local
speciality, Churiilo
|
As you can
see the place is packed!
|
Here it is, a whole
roasted lamb with various "bits" still attached. Martin
being a Neanderthal Scotsman couldn't wait to get stuck in whilst
some others suddenly decided that they were not hungary! |
Michael thinks
he's eating the lamb's testicles! I'd already tried one thinking the
same |
"I only
know them under the name of Boll-ocks"
says Thido
|
And so onto the
Kayaking - a few nerves are jittering amongst the wossie element |
|
Jonjo looks
like he knows what he's doing. Andys thinking "Who put me
with this nutter!"

Nightclub bouncer Impression and realising his current dream of being

Nerves are gone,
the canyon is impressive with Eagles and Vultures flying overhead |
