Empuriabrava

The canopy course ended on Wednesday. We manged to get all 10 jumps in as the weather has been good. Have really enjoyed the course and met some nice people. There were 6 of us in total, Mick, Bob, Darren, Stephanie, Geoff and me. With the exception of Stephanie who was from Belgium the rest of us were Brits.

There is quite a contrast to scenery around Empuria. To the North is the Pyrenees (the direction we fly before we jump out) and to the East is the Mediterian. Empuriabrava is on the coast just south of the French border. If you would like to find out more and see some neat pictures log onto http://www.skydiveempuriabrava.com/ . I will get some new pictures onto the blog once I get back to the UK next week. I must mention that the parachute centre is co owned by a North East lad Pete Jones, Pete has always made me welcome whenever I come to Empuria ( so there are no language barriers !!!).

Have done some skydives to-day with Kim, who is out here on a break with her husband.

I still have lots to still sort out when I get back home. One of my main concerns at the moment is car hire. It looks like I am going to have to-hire a car more than I would like. I have made contact with a couple of the big car hire companies to see if I can get some sort of deal sorted out and await developments. If any car hire companies are listening out there please get in touch.

Thats all for now. Will update again soon. jh 25/4
