Spain Roadtrip

Code Name: Spain Roadtrip
Time: 27th March 2006 to 4th April 2006
Location: SW5 > London Luton > SW5 > London Heathrow > Barcelona > Valencia > Madrid > Seville > Malaga
(SW5 refers to my post code while London Luton & Heathrow refers to the airport)
Pros: excellent cuisine, sunny weather, driving around in a car, chilling out with friends, topless beach, bullfighting, flamenco dance
Cons: flight cancelled due to civil strikes in FRANCE! (i know, we're going spain, but wtf!), had to book another flight which costs alot more, waited and worried for almost 2 hours for the rented car, the car stalling 30 times a day becoz it was on 3rd gear all the while (lol, i'm not the driver, mind you!), driving in the other side of the road in a non-english speaking country, manoeuvring around cities with more 1-way streets than... than... 2-way streets? got our car broken into and left with a bag, 4 jackets & 150 euros after we left the car for a grand total of 15 minutes
