Hola todos. Let’s get straight into it. After my siesta after the events of Friday morning and afternoon Cwru o’ gloch was once again rolling round and it was time to head out for a beer and a bite. I go to my guides hangout and have 2 beers and lovely fajita dish for £5 and some change but it’s quiet so head to Bar Clandestino to do the usual solo drinking thing. Sit my ass at the bar sip a few bottles and see if the RNG rolls us any gals or geezers, sexy señoritas…….. ¿or another crazy perhaps? Been a while since we had one of them and have a feel probably due another one soon!

Tonight however we got rolled a Geezer and another one of the metalhead persuasion. Meet new best friend Theo! This fella is local here but has been round a bit especially to Europe to Nordic metal gigs. He is a civil engineer working remote for a US company and doing pretty well for himself. He’s a CAD Monkey in engineering speak! Not knocking him at all he’s got a good thing going on there and all the best for him. 

He is some good entertainment and another great guy to hit up for local knowledge. We have an easy one Friday night and call it fairly early. However we make plans to meet again tomorrow afternoon for some lunch and a beer once I’m moved into the new gaff and sorted.

Saturday rolls round. I get my laundry, desayuno and am out. Repack and haul the gear 10 mins up the road and I’m in my new hotel at 1130. Better I can check in early. Lovelllyyyy!

Turns out this new hotel is run by an Irish expat fella by the name of Gerry. Been here for 14 years and married a local. I sort out check in formalities and also ask about doing a boat/kayak tour tomorrow. He texts someone and says yes boat tour good. 20 USD and 0900 pickup. Sound!

After some rest I join my metalhead new best friend for hora del almuerzo (and Cwru 🍺 o gloch!) and we shoot the shit for a while. Let’s just say the modern UK has got a lot of eyes on it right now and how things are there right now. Read between the lines on this one. It’s a good time and hora de siesta follows. 

Later that night we meet again in Bar Clandestino but nothing worth blogging really comes out of it but is a good craic. Again we wrap up early and I end the night with a gentle tinny or 2 then turn in for some shuteye before the tour tomorrow.
