We've Arrived!

Here we are in Cullera Spain after 45 hours in transit...that included a 5 hour drive south of Barcelona and our first experience with European tollbooths. It wasn't a good start when we lost Karl's credit card into one of those machines - we should have twigged when it said "Ticket", not Credit Card! Thankfully it was retrieved by an attendant but not before we had all the cars behind us tooting madly. Welcome to self-drive Europe!

We have just had Day One of the CEVMA (Christian European Visual Media Assoc) Conference and Karl is the Bible speaker. Already we have met some lovely people working in places such as Madrid, Ukraine, Germany, Milan…it all makes Gymea sound very dull!

We skipped the afternoon sessions and went for a walk along the Mediterranean coast then Karl went off on a bike ride (yes it arrived safely) and I went off on the first of my photographic walks. It was very quiet in the early afternoon - I assume it was siesta time!

First impressions of Cullera weren't great but after heading a few streets back from the beach I found some lovely little treasures...and I can't go past a nice bit of rusty wrought iron with strong shadows!

So that's it for Day One. Wifi is hopeless at hotel so I won't push my luck any further.
