In which algo visits paradise, and finds something to moan about.

Firstly let me apologise for the last post being all subject and no body. I will correct it on my return.

Secondly, let me update you all as to where i am right now. Our original plan was to set up the algolian expedition in the awning of the in law's caravan. It appears that someone up there reads my blog amd is angry, since a torrent of rain turned the awning area into swamp, you can barely walk on it let alone set up camp. Initially we were booked into a local self catering apartment as a gesture of apology from the in laws. This was a n unnecessarily charitable move on their part amd since guilt was ahead of reason we declined this offer and have instead spent the princely sum of £14.98 on a full tent and a pitch up on the hill (where all the swamp creating water came from) is ours! The tent came from asda of all places but is bizarrely not awful.. It is warm and dry.

anyhoo... Today we visited the eden project. I am utterly blown away by the rainforest biome. Thing is by doing that first we rendered the second biome a total letdown. Shame.

The thing i want to moan about is that for some reason around this second biome (mediterranean themed) they had some moronic artist show on... In full fecking view and ruining the natural feel and look of the place. Loking at the description of these installation is always good for a chuckle, and apparently these featurless blobs are 'an expression of mankinds guilt and anguish' over our desruction of animal species and plant ecosystems. Great! I really need some puffed up scribbler to express my concern for me. I bet that was his maserati i saw in the car park too. Wonder if it runs on biofuel?

Apart from that little blot on the landscape the place is an absolutely wonderful concept and hits you full in the face with a whole load of pure LIFE And you don't need an artist to help you feel deeply moved at the sight.
