MSO in transit

After 30 hours in transit, we´ve finally made it to Castellon, the first stop on our European tour. Getting on the bus at ABC Southbank feels like a distance memory now with many inflight meals and movies in-between. After a couple of hours stopover in Singapore stretching our legs, we flew to Milan where we had another hour on the ground. This time we weren´t allowed off the plane. A weary musician, Andrew Weiss cheekily asked our travelling Doctor,
¨Hey Stephen, do you have any pills to make the hour go forward?¨
Stephen quickly replied, ¨I´m not Dr Who, I´m Dr Hook!¨

Our journey finished with a three hour bus ride, down south through the Spanish countryside. As we passed the olive and orange (yes, the real Valencia ones!) groves, the sight of our hotel was a welcome one, and sigh... a hot shower!
