We are in Granada, south end of Spain.

Easter has snuck up on us a bit. We tried to book overnight train tickets to Barcelona today (for tomorrow) and found that all the trains are fully booked for the next week.

We´ve decided to head back down to the coast instead and take it from there. We are going to head to Almaria on the South West coast, where we´ve heard it is nice. Intended destination is a little town called San Jose, but we´ll see what happens. Being Easter all the Spaniards are travelling and accomodation is getting scarce. Even the little back-alley Pensions and Hostals we are staying in are booked up. Hopefully we´ll find something.

Following several long delays with our flight (one whilst we were actually still in the air) we made it safely to Spain, from Athens via London, last Monday night.

We landed in Madrid and whilst coming through the arrival gates were surprised to see that someone had organised a large welcoming party for us, including journalists and televisions crew. Our fame was short lived however, when the Manchester United football team came throught a few minutes after us, including David Beckham, who got completely mobbed.

Here are some hastily posted photos from our time in Athens and on Naxos.
