Espanha

Ok so we went to spain yesterday, half an hour in a rattly old heap of a truck. We wandered through the original Alberqurque and climbed up onto the wall of the castle there. We really wanted to go in but  unfortunately it is being prepared for tourists and so was closed, got some pretty cool pics though. After a couple of hours/coffees and beers, we decided to truck on back to Portalegre to do some riding. The track of choice was the one most people refer to as Wyns track, built by Wyn Masters, Kurt Lancaster and the others on the crew at the time it's a pretty cool wee single track style dh run down through the woods above the town,  it's really good for getting in lots of runs with only a short turn around. So we figure that we will extend it to make use of the other side of the road and get a longer run option happening. After riding we were invited to Rodrigos (our portuguese housemate) girlfriends place for dinner. It was a truly impressive feast with so much food I didn't get to sample it all. The sangrias flowed all through dinner and then it was time to go have a look at the night life, The night life is pretty good everyone out having a good time with very little signs of drunkenness or agro, though they do still smoke in bars here and it was amazing how horrible it was, best thing New Zealand ever did was banning smoking in bars. So we wandered on home at 3:30 this morning and now we're going off to build that dh track.
So bye for now
