....(continued)    we spent a night in Bordaux before getting the train and then car to a place called Plum Village. we stayed there for just under a week and there was no internet access so i have alot to catch up on. Plum Village is where a Buddhist monk called Thich Nhat Hanh that my parents wanted to go listen to. there was alot of meditation and sitting still for long periods of time. we did escape to a nearby town for most of a day but we left early because it was so boring. we got the train to Libourne and stayed two nights. then we had another long train trip into Spain. we stayed in Figueres and went to the Dali Museum. he did loads of really weird paintings and sculptures. the next day we hired a car and traveled along a really windy road towards Barcelona. we stopped in Tossa de Mar (which i have a picture of), had lunch, and then carried on. when we arrived in Barca we found our apartment and then went out for dinner with my uncles friend. then, yesterday, we went to the Nou camp and looked in the museum. there are lots of trophies in there. the writing in the picture means "more than a club".

  1. Sounds like fun. Just to let you know Aneurin has just arrived back at school and everyone is very excited about this. Just imagine how excited everyone will be when you return.

    Keep well

    PS Aneurin does not like Man U (as you already know)
