Farewell to Benicassim
... the life style of the bourgeoisie of early last century.
It is not the bustling frenzy of some modern resorts, the pace is slower which is what we like, no seedy nightclubs and drunken youths in your face like the early days of ' the Spanish resort'!!!
It has a calm to it.
A lovely sunset on our last evening.
Farewell to Benicassim we could be back next ...
First stages of planning
... is in the initial stage, I plan to start out in Malaysia and Indonesia, before travelling overland to Thailand. Spend sometime in Chiang Mai, take a trip to Pai Then chill in Chiang Mai for a while before heading to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia.
So far after a couple of days this is how far I've got in the planning stage and I do have another 11 months to go and a lot of things could change between now and then.
...
Leaving soon...
... and tomorrow I will also file papers with the Agencia Tributaria.
We will leave without a final contract but everything is set in motion so please send your positive thoughts our way...you will certainly have an invitation to visit us here!
I'm adding just a couple of photos to tease you...you might see just why we're so excited...
...
And now we have an N.I.E.
... the doors to open to receive a number that allowed us to stand or sit in another area waiting for that number to give us access to the official who would either give us forms or look at the forms we had already filled in before they gave us another form which needs to be taken to a bank for payment of a fee and returned with a photo and copies of our passport before noon....so that we can then return the next day at 1 pm ...
Cats and more cats
... the keel! There was nobody around to go and see about payment so we just walked into the nearest restaurant (the only one open I think) and had a delicious lunch each. The island, like so many other beauty spots in Spain, has been made a nature reserve and amongst other prohibited activities, fishing is not allowed in any form. Then a walk around the island through the 'village’ and along the fortress walls and then across to the "green" end ...
