Juzcar AKA Smurf Town!

Whilst in Spain, I would recommend visiting Juzcar which is about an hour north of Marbella. Sony commissioned the villagers to paint the town blue. Sony had promised to paint it back to its original colours, but it attracted enhanced tourism numbers so the villagers asked Sony if they could leave it.

Photos of Ronda in Spain

I recently visited Ronda in Spain, a beautiful town in the mountains, north of Marbella. Ronda is split into two, by a river that runs through the centre, but united by a magnificent bridge.

Well worth a visit!

David Coulthards Red Bull F1 Car

Charlie and me have just made a flying visit to the shop at the Grand Prix Collection shop at Donington Park.

In the entrance hall is the beautiful Red Bull car driven by David Coulthard in 2008.

We didn’t get to go around the museum today, but it is well worth a visit. The shop is also full of goodies!

iPhone Apps: Word Lens

I’ve had Word Lens on my iPhone since the day I saw it on BBC Click. The app is very clever, all you need to do is hover over text and Word Lens reads it and can display it backwards or delete it completely. But there are also some additional packs you can purchase for it; English to Spanish, Spanish to English and more recently French to English and Vice versa. I bought one of these (expensive) packs for going to Spain with, more just to play with. It was very very clever, as said before. Hover over the text, and you can pause the screen so that you can read what it has translated. I found it fantastic for menus and information boards, and although I did Spanish at school for 2 years it was very useful. Also great to have a play with the free packs.

Quick Pic: Juzcar

This is a photo of Juzcar in Spain. Sony painted it blue to promote the release of the Smurfs film.

Locals don’t want Sony to paint it back as it has increased the number of tourists to the village.

Worth a visit but the drive there is scary!
