I got 2/3rds of the way up - was a bit scary mind!

The very same *feels homesick*

Hopefully if I can save up enough I want to do a trans-Atlantic trip like that one next winter

We did have a small feline visitor come aboard when we were tied up at Soller but he wasn't welcome for very long...

Oh sorry GF - didn't mean to raise old spectres.

Nuff said.

Did you take the photos? (Well, not the ones you're in of course.)

No, the photos I took are here - http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/ElsG/SSN256/ with the password being "readonly"

Basically I didn't take any til the penultimate day and then got a bit carried away

As for spectres, not really. Met a guy, it turned out a bit differently than I'd hoped. As much my fault as his but a shame as I could use someone to hug of late what with life being a bit shitty
