One really cool thing about teaching in London is that there are three terms and each one has a half term break. During the "Easter" holidays, we're going to my two favourite cycling races, Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. During the recent half term break, we went to Alicante.
It was really good to get out of London's weather and into the Spanish sun. It was good to get some consistent running going too, in particular in a beautiful location.
End result: it was a great experience and I'm looking forward to the chance to race and or train in the country on another occasion. Did I mention four days cost $800AUD including flights, accomodation and eating out for every meal.

| Given the car dooring in Melbourne recently, how good are these reminders to cyclists? |

"F.r.i.e.n.d.s night club" Yup, they based a night club off an American sitcom    |

| Giant lolly shop. No wonder Team Novo Nordisk (all diabetic cycling team) does training camps here |
 |
| A school for learning English. The sign says "No English, No future". |
Might spend the bulk of November, December, January and February in this country. Something of a paradise :D
