Close Calls!!!

Got up early today around 12 o clock and myself and Jackie headed on down to Port Vella ,thats the man made marina thing I was on about last night. We headed into the shopping center and I went for Starbucks and we then headed over to the aquarium where Jackie nearly got eaten by a shark.(see picture)
When we came back out into the port, we decided to take a few more pictures of the area, that is when I got the first close call. Jackie was getting a picture of me in front of the big tall statue with a man pointing his finger. All of a sudden I was being surrounded by "la policia". I panicked and made about making a swift exit from the area.

So as the statue was pointing in that direction, myself and Jackie agreed that we should follow his advice so we grabbed our bags and hit the metro to the bus station, while waiting in the bus station Jackie was advised to keep the laptop in the suitcase as the place was full of thieves and they would just whip it off her. I assured Jackie that if they did they would not out run me.
After all the talk about thieves we decided to head for the forgotton piece of land in between France and Spain that has a 0 crime rate,tax free and was exactly where the statue was pointing, yeah you've guessed it - ANDORRA!!!

We hopped on the bus with some soup and sandwiches for the 4 hour journey to Andorra, nothing exciting about this until we got to the border crossing and Jackie thought I was definitely caught this time, once again "la policia" pulled the bus over and came aboard, they asked to see our passports which we showed them as I gave him an innocent look (it sure did work) and he continued about his business checking the rest of the passengers.
A couple of minutes later they brought the sniffer dog aboard and Jackie really started to panic but I was only worried that the dog would smell her, this was not to be and he continued on.

Into Andorra La Vella we arrived and after getting rid of our luggage, we decided to browse some closed shops and let me tell you the stuff here is shit cheap between cigarettes and camcorders to mp5 players,pepper spray and stun guns -no wonder they have a 0 crime rate.
If you want any stuff sent back just let me know, I will be more than happy to make some money off you.

It's cold enough here but you'd expect that with it being a skiing resort, I'll have to give that a go.

I'll catch some pictures of Andorra tomorrow, the battery in the camera was dead so ill just leave you with a couple of pictures from Barcelona.

I don't think I can be caught in Andorra by the way because it is not part of the European Union, hahahaha.

Peace Out,
The Fugitive
