II 10 kms puerto de Almería

[Sweder]

It's great to see Encarna is continuing to race. I expect she'll be the first finisher in Almería of our group in January 2009 It's true that we don't get anything like the goodie bags you guys do but it's the post-race meal I'm most jealous of (and no doubt the setting).

Eveything about the race sounds lovely except the distance and the odd part about it being very flat. How cruel.
Mrs S sends her warm regards to you and Mrs A. If you get the chance I highly recommend taking Tiffin at Chor Bizarre. This is an Indian resturant opposite Browns Hotel in Arbamarle Street (just off Piccadilly opposite the Ritz). They serve traditional British Raj style afternoon tea - I understand it is both historically accurate and absolutely delicious - lots of cakes!

Oh, and there's a cracking pub next door - The Kings' Head. They serve Timothy Taylor's Landlord, a pint that tastes remarkably like (and almost as good as) Harvey's Best. Cheers!
