The Kids

Clearly the logistics of the kids were the main show stopper, but with the support of the Grand Parents, this seemed relatively well assured. Quite early on Steph and I discussed how nice it would be to get the Kids over to Barcelona to share some downtime with us following the completion of the ride, and even this was relatively easily over come with the British Airways Unaccompanied Child travel scheme, I just hope they are still afloat by the time the ride comes about. I even secured quite early on an apartment in the old Olympic Village in Barcelona.
