Hi from Betty

Hello to everyone back in England.
We´re currently in Madarin taking some time off after a very long, that´s 13 hour, bus trip. Not a patch, though, on our first journey by bus from B.A. to Baraloche which was 24 hours long! The mountains around Baraloche were beautiful and we´ve all got lots of pictures to show you when we get back. I´ve also got a few rock samples as well but don´t worry, not enough that´ll take me over the baggage weight limit!
On Saturday we went walking with a group of people we´d met the day before at the Cowen´s. It was really nice, especially the warm whether, even if the walk was 24km long (I don´t do long walks usually). Everyone we´ve met has be very welcoming also they´ve been very understanding about our language limitations which is very, very, very, very (!) kind of them.
Bye bye for now.
Betty
