We’ve arrived at our new home in Spain! My family’s luxury apartment in Los Alcazares on the Mar Menor, Costa Calida! Compared to Yoko, it is luxurious indeed: It’s got a two bedrooms (one with a double bed, the other with two singles), two bathrooms (both a bathroom and a shower room), a kitchen with a full size sink in which to wash-up, a washing machine, a dining table, two toilets and… *toot-de-la-toot* two full-size sofas!

You may have read all of that and now be wondering, “so what?”. Believe me, had you had just spent the last three months of your life–non-stop–in a VW camper van without any of the above, you’d likely be excited too!

We arrived early evening and, after throwing our backpacks into the apartment, went for a relaxing stroll along the beach promenade (which is only five minutes away).

This is our home for the next three months and, oh boy, are we excited to be here.
