The SPAIN TOUR 2007!
6-10 sept
 

 We left Sweden for Spain a cold autum morning in september, me and my dear friend Malin at Vildhjartas. The journey has been fantastic. Hot weather, nice people and beautiful cats. We aspecially liked the visit at Le Peyres breeding in Tudela.  Besides looking att all the nice Norwegian Forest cats and kittens, we have been eating lots of tapas and drinking some good spanish wines. Many thanks to Heather Anne and Javiér to your great hospitality!

A day in Madrid, and of course a cold beer! It was the only spanish word we could say so .......
 
Malin is waiting for the bus to Tudela! It took us four hours by bus, and we got a bit lost in the end.....well not really lost but it was a little adventure....

Malin and Botitos, a domestic cat at the familys nice patio!  Great big catruns and green trees to make some shadow.

 

Me, Malin and Heather Anne at the river Ebro in Tudela! A very old bridge is in the background.
 

The big square in Tudela. Here they have a very big festival in july every year. And at the first evening, we also found a "new" drink here. Icecream, cream,cold coffee and whiskey, thanks to Javiér for that drink.

So finally some pictures of the reason why we visited Tudela
La Peyres Ushki! And of course we where so much in love!

                        

 


 
And here are his beautiful sister Ukelelee and his lovely brother Urdax. It was not easy to make a nice picture of the three kittens .....Kiri was helping....or he wanted to be in the way...
Aaaah,  well some times you have to improvise a bit.... Ukelelee, Urdax and Ushki. And then of course the nice Basset female dog Penelope! She was gorgeous. Love you...


And the domestic cat Botitas!


And Kiri! The domestic cats really enjoyed the patio...
Ushki again! Hey you I'm tired now.....

And Urdax! And also Ukelelee!
Here is the halfbrother of the litter,
Picatoste La Peyre. He was resting on a barrel and I think he was dreaming of girls when we woke him up...
He is a really nice looking young male. And he loves to play with the kittens.


On the trip back to Madrid. We stoped in a very old little town and took a walk. Here is Heather Anne, Malin and Javiér.

Malin is poseing again.....

 
The three ladies, seeking for some shadow. It was also nice inside.

Javiér and Heather Anne on an old street, And look at the left side, what is that?
 Could it be some old treasurs. They really fit in the surroundings.
 

We also found some "spanish" ducks and swans. Maybe the swans like the weather better here then in Sweden .....
Javiér told us a lot about bullfighting, which is a big tradition in Spain. And this was a statue of a very famous bullfighter. He was almost 30 years old when he was killed in a bullfight.


                                        

 

Besides the bullfighter we looked at some rocks to. Then we had our last lunch together with Heather Anne, Javiér and some other friends to them. We talked a lot about spanish catshows. That was interesting....So we desided thet we will probably come back to Spain to visit a catshow here somtime in the future....
Back in Madrid, and our last evening... Malin and I walked around a lot. I wonder what this big square and buildning is called...We where no typical tourists I think... But it was fun to take a beer or two outside a Bullfighterbar!

Finally in Copenhagen. Here Malin and I was waiting for the train to take us back to Kalmar. It was cold outside so we drank some coffee! Well one beer maybe...

Bye, bye  see you all soon again!
