It's my second day now in southern Spain and I am freekin loving it! Travel went as smooth as possible, which was great. I was a bit worried about Spanish customs because I had 2 huge boxes of equipment from the U.S. The man stopped me at customs and asked if I had anything to claim and I said "no, it's all my personal clothing and equipment" and he said "ok, go!" I was stoked cause that could have been very difficult. I got into Granada sunday night and was very excited to go to sleep! Yesterday I woke up and got in a ride before we left for camp. Trails there were mint. I had to drive the new team van down to the coast from Granada for our team camp, and the van is manuel which I am not familiar with using. Sander and I went for a drive before the trip and he taught me how to drive it. It was a bit of a rough start, but I picked it up quick. I made the 2 hour drive no problem. I followed Martin in his new Audi the whole way. I stopped at traffic lights, went through roundabouts and made it through the tight european streets. I was so proud of myself haha it's the simple things in life I guess. The sunset from my hotel room was amazing! I am staying right on the Mediterranean, and I could see Morocco from my balcony. Such an awesome view! I couldn't believe Africa was so close. Today I got up and had a massive breakfast. Could have been the best euro breakfast ever! I just checked out the new bikes getting built up, they look incredible! Maybe a few pics to come if they let me. Justin and Christoph from Fox just got in, and we're off for a ride now. This trip couldn't have started off better, I cant wait to see all my teammates this afternoon.
