The pleasure was mine!

Today I finally had the chance to meet the charming Ben Curtis and his wife, Marina, the brains and brawn behind the Notes From Spain (http://www.notesfromspain.com) website. For the last couple of years, Ben and Marina have been channelling their love (and, sometimes frustations) for Spain into the website, which covers topics as diverse as fiestas, expat life and how thin the walls can be in apartment buildings.

One of the most fun things about their website is their weekly podcasts, where they take time to sit down and talk with diverse people about the diverse things they get up to. So, after much searching for a quiet enough place to do a recording, we settled down in a Starbucks with three cups of hot chocolate, and had a chat about the Trans-Iberian.

It's always encouraging to speak to people who are interested in travelling by bicycle, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Ben and Marina will be able to join us, even if it's just for one weekend!
