IMG_5870The Edwards family gathered together today…all 8 adults (Lisa and Chris, Julie and Mark and Paul and Rachelle) and 5 grandchildren with one day to go before the “Silk Road”. Paul and Rachelle hosted us all…a barbecue at their newly moved into home. It was lovely to catch up and of course Chloe, Emily, Oliver, James and Lily will all have grown and Oliver and Lily will probably be walking by the time we see them again in 4 months.

Final Packing

Posted on March 31, 2017 by Vulcan MG — Leave a comment

How do you pack clothes for 4 months in a sailing bag that you use for a day sail?

We are taking light, easy to wash, quick drying clothes for about 10 days …. hope it works !

(If we need more you may see us wearing local clothes as the trip progresses)

Peter and Paula Return - Another Silk Road Shared

ART dream

Wine and more architecture

Wine and More Wine – OleBilbao OLD and NEW Monday dawned sunny and warm and we headed down to the Guggenheim Museum, even though it is closed we wanted to relish the slick titanium skin, contrasted against the smooth pale limestone blocks. Everything glistened in the bright morning sun, reflections of the curved surfaces bounced off the water surrounding the metal walls and the metallic sculptures in the forecourts around the Guggenheim. Did you know that every surface in the building is curved and there are no straight lines thus emphasising the organic flowing lines of this magnificent Frank Gehry masterpiece Tomorrow we’ll visit this amazing museum along with our Silk Road companions Pat and David who we are travelling with around Spain and Portugal in our trusty MGs. Hop on and off buses have always been a favourite and quick way of acquainting ourselves with a city. We cruised around the narrow streets enjoying the views from the top deck. We were diverted by police a few times into the back streets because of a rally of thousands of people marching along the main thoroughfare of the city. Red, white and Green flags and banners waving, fire crackers exploding, releasing clouds of smoke. How We hopped off a The Mercado de la Ribera one of the largest fresh food markets in Europe and we arrived just in time for some Pintxos which we enjoyed with a beer and Sangria. So many delicious sweet and savoury munchies to choose from – what a treat!
