High point: Martha has cleared customs!<\/p>\n
Low point: The search for a mobile internet solution for updates to the website, computer says no<\/p>\n
First night ever in a hostel, and a nice one at that. The others have made comments on my snoring, but I’m quite sure its all fictitious. The room was quite a sight first thing.<\/p>\n
A good start to the day, with a meeting at Sea World\u2019s offices at 9am. Eric from shipping company Sea World Services has been a star and has managed to get the fire engine cleared by customs in record time, hopefully this will enable us to unload and get going by lunchtime tomorrow. This obviously depends on how long it takes to re-inflate the tires and reattach the lights that had to be taken off for the shipping from New York to Valencia.<\/p>\n

The Spanish know how to make coffee, and\u00a0down on\u00a0the beach, James had to do a runner from the man trying to sell him some sunglasses. Steve decided to give us a beginners yoga class on the beach, my flexibility has been called into question, and that was on level one yoga.<\/p>\n
After yoga, Steve and James had a go at filming the introduction for the Power Traveller competition, 19 takes later, you decide on the result. Martha has covered 28,286 miles to date, the competition is to guess how many miles in total she will cover, so 28,286 so far and the final stage to go. The route is on the website, get your guesses in, the prize is a great yellow Power Traveller Explorer which I’ve been using, it recharges\u00a0my iPhone super quick. My video footage from the competition can only be described as market stall and dell boy.<\/p>\n
A big thank you to Katrina at Original Travel, for putting us in touch with the Valencia Tourism office, Desiree, from the tourist office has arranged press coverage for the morning, and I think the crew will be with us\u00a0from when we unload at the\u00a0dock, to when we leave Valencia.\u00a0 Result!<\/p>\n
The language barrier has been a bit of an issue in finding a mobile internet solution for when we\u2019re on the road, going to have to take a punt and hope it works. Actually just came across a lovely lady who has given us, what we think, is a good solution.\u00a0Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
Whilst James and I went hunting for an internet dongle, Steve and Amy have been hard at the admin,\u00a0I cant actually believe how much\u00a0work there is to do with both logistics and keeping the website updated. Saying that if Steve didn’t take 19 takes to do a video clip, he’d have more time.<\/p>\n
