Well, im still in Gijon as Keith had to head back to the UK and sort some stuff out, and im staying here on the boat by myself! lol Saves alot on accommodation and its pretty cool living on a boat alone for a few days, just chillin out!
We arrived here on Sunday and i was wondering why i was still feeling awefully ill on Monday and Tuesday...well turns out diesel had leaked from the engine (because we had to flog it like never before to get into port because of the wind we were `sailing´into), which is under my bed in my cabin and the fumes were intoxicating and making me going slightly spaz. So we got all that cleaned up yesturday and (surprisingly) im feeling ALOT better now! So i haven´t really got anything to do while im here except watch some of Keith´s (mostly poor) dvds, attempt to renew my license that expires in a few days, go for a run along the coast (i went for 2 hours on Monday, was sooo good, absorlutely gorgeous) and eat Spanish food.
Speaking of Spanish food, up north along the coast they have this really cool Spanish tradition with apple cider (about 6% alcohol!) and the way they serve it. Its flat while in the bottle, but they pour a little into the glass from high above so it fuzzes slightly, then you drink that quickly before its flattens out again (traditon is `little and often´). Its really cool watching the pro´s do it (waiters and barmen), as me and Keith had a go at it last night and managed to get more on the table then in our glasses! lol (see photos).
So that was fun, but now im by myself id feel embarressed ordering a bottle to myself and sitting in a restaurant, though i may be tempted to do it anyway because its quite nice!
I probably won´t update my blog before i go as i doubt there will be anything interesting to report. I just hope to don´t do something stupid and break something on the boat or do something so the water and electricity doesn´t work lol I´ll be heading off for Madrid on Saturday morning and Keith will get back to Gijon Saturday night to keep on sailing along the coast with someone else to help him, so i have to make sure everything is fine when he gets back. I almost destroyed the place last night when i was drunkingly trying to make soup on the gas cooker (bad idea...though i didn´t think so at the time). So i must restrain myself i do think.
Well i hope everyones well and everything, watch this space for future updates! ;-D
