No more bets, ladies and gents!

We`re in Barcelona, about to add some updates but it´s the first of July so we hope everyone got their sweepstake entries in to win the chocolate fish. The clio´s still going and it`s done about 2650 miles (approx) so far. We enjoyed going out on the water for the America´s Cup in Valencia (thanks Evan!), but first we better get our post in for Granada, our favourite city so far (although Porto was pretty cool too).

[oh, 3 things we forgot to mention about Sevilla cathedral: Christopher Columbus´tomb is in there; it´s the largest Gothic cathedral in the world; and there´s a massive painting with St Antony, the patron saint of finding lost things in one of the dozens of mini chapels around the side - he was cut out and stolen, but found himself in New York a few months later - an art dealer thought he´d bought a copy, realised it was the original and sent it back... A powerful saint indeed!]

I don't know whether I posted a bet on the mileage where you'll break down. 11,000km I reckon.

Funny story about the 'found' painting of St Antony. Good luck to the Clio! Love the French cars...
