Hello all, firstly let me apologise for my lack of commitment to the Vegemite Diaries - very hard to write whilst in the most wonderful place on earth. Secondly to my wife, I miss you so much not long till we are reunited again. Thank GOD! Let the good times roll.

San Sebastian would have to be one of the most beautiful places I have been to so far on my travels. I must admit when we arrived I was a bit unsure due to the cloudy weather and rain but things soon picked up. San Seb is a Spanish dame and seaside resort all rolled into one. As a dedicated devotee of the sun, it was straight to the shore. Playa de la Coucha and Playa de la Ondarata was just what I needed, for the filthy hangover I was nursing from the last night in Madrid (Nadia I blame you).

Unsurprisingly it tapas for din dins again - San Seb is famous for its tapas selection as this is where the cuisine originated. In London they bar-hop - here they tapas-hop! This tradition takes place every night of the week, and it's not uncommon to continue you till 2am during the week and until the cock crows on weekends.

Next stop was Pamplona for the Running of The Bulls aka organised chaos! We were up at stupid o'clock i.e. 5am to watch crazy Australians, Americans and Spaniards thinking they could outrun the bulls. The scenes get quite gruesome and bloody - some people have no respect for this event albeit crazy, and they simply make it far more dangerous for those trying to adhere to the rules. Don't worry Mum, I did not run.

These people sure know how to party - up at 5am to run then the party starts, going till the wee hours of the morning - there is no rest for the wicked. We amazingly kept up this tradition whilst enduring the very average camping conditions. I will never complain about hostel showers again! The Aussie boys of Camp Ezcaba must get a mention - the V Crew (as they christened us re the Vegemite obsession) loved you - thanks for the great partying.

After a hectic 2 days in Pamps with a total of 4 hours sleep all up, we were back on the bus to the luxury of San Seb, for some well-deserved r and R. The people here are great - nothing is a problem and they also know how to party. Bless Nadia and Jess' hostel owners, who took us out to the disotecha by the sea - it was an awesome night.

Our final day was spent doing the touristy thing, going to see san Seb from the amazing heights of the Funicular. This train-like device, if that's what you call it, climbs a gradient of 48%, taking you to the best views of San Seb. At the top there is a fun park, which resembled a mini Australia's Wonderland! What a sight.

After all this beauty and fun, it was an arduous 10 hour train trip for the reunion with my wife - she's bloody lucky I love her so much that I endured the night train and a delayed plane for our meeting!
