Interrailing in Spain

Well, a brief note to those of you unaware to what is happening with me at the moment.

I am presently underway across spain with my brother with the famous interrail ticket. We have seen a lot of spain already, and have plans to see the rest of it before the 31st of August, when we return to England.

A more detailed note will be sent shortly

A few brief notices

Yes, it is still raining here in England, mind you not the whole day, just the bit when you want to go outside.
So what has really happened to the summer weather then? Has good old Tony gone and sold it off to some third-world nation just so that he can say we are giving aid? Then again is the lack of support for reducing the cost of medical treatment/drugs in poorer countries just that? - we are keeping them with AIDS, not helping to get rid of it.

Another news clippet you might have seen or heard today is that the "Real IRA" have yet again viciously bombed our capital trying to maim and kill as many people as possible. This time they packed a car with so much explosives that it blew away an area of over 200 metres !!! And to think I was passing nearby soon afterwards.

And Bush manages to ruin another pact of 56 nations that has been going on for 7 years with a simple "no". He doesn't agree to a biological weapons treaty. Nice to know that the world's richest and most powerful country doesn't care about the environment nor cares about the sick nature of these sorts of weapons.

OK, that's me over and done with todays little voices. I will be back, hopefully with something more pleasant to say, tomorrow. Sleep tight.

As you can see by the reduction in frequency of me writing here, there has not been that much going on here. I am busy organising all sorts of things, and still haven't unpacked any of my bags.

And just to make things even better, it has been raining all day. Yes, that's right, we're at the height of summer and tonnes of water are coming out of the sky. Just as well I stayed at home then.
To make matters even worse, I can just imagine all the people in their respective countries relaxing in the sunshine on the beach. Unfair.

Well, a bit of news for you anyway. Apparently we're not drinking enough beer (we're still drinking more beer than soft-drinks, but less than before). Find out more from the bbc.

Okay, that's it for now, I'll let you get back to your fun in the sun.
