The golden X was real. The mysterious archway was real. The treasure map was real. Unfortunately, nobody had the slightest idea what the inscription underneath the archway meant. Captain Morgan crouched down and examined it. “It's definitely not Spanish.” Dinkz looked at it. “Definitely not English.” John Daniels scratched his head. “Could be ancient Spanish.” McFinleyyy shook his head. “No chance.” Ye Olde Large Lad looked at the writing. “I THINK IT SAYS RESTAURANT.” Everyone stared at him. “It doesn't.” Large Lad shrugged. “IT COULD.” Then Patel arrived. He walked towards them with a sm...

  🇪🇸 The Salty Spain Special — Chapter 9 🚤 All Aboard for the Next Marina The following morning, the Salty Gang assembled at the marina. Everyone was excited. Everyone was prepared. Well… Almost everyone. Salty appeared wearing sunglasses, shorts and a look of somebody who had made one or two questionable decisions the previous evening. Vicky looked at him. “Are you alright?” Salty nodded. “Absolutely.” Sarah looked at him suspiciously. “You don't look absolutely.” Salty lowered his sunglasses. “I may have a tiny headache.” Susan smiled. “Tiny?” “Medium.” Dinkz laughed. “That's what happens when you spend the evening drinking mojitos and discussing treasure maps.” Salty shook his head. “I regret nothing.” 🚤 Eddie's Boat Eddie Irvine was waiting beside his boat. “Ready?” Captain Morgan nodded. “Ready.” Everyone climbed aboard. Large Lad took one look at the boat. “WHERE'S THE KITCHEN?” Eddie laughed. “You're going to have to survive without one.” Large Lad looked...

  🇪🇸 The Salty Spain Special — Chapter 8 🚤 Eddie Irvine's Marina Mystery The newly formed Salty-Patel Alliance was officially underway. The destination? The Marina. The reason? Another mysterious clue. The gang made their way towards the waterfront, still wearing their ridiculous Hawaiian shirts. Salty's shirt was so loud that one passing tourist actually put on sunglasses. Dinkz looked at Large Lad. “You know, I think yours is even worse.” Large Lad looked down proudly. “IT'S MAGNIFICENT.” Captain Morgan shook his head. “Let's concentrate on the treasure.” They reached the marina. Beautiful boats were lined up along the water, gently bobbing in the sunshine. Vicky looked around. “It's lovely here.” Sarah nodded. “Very fancy.” Then Patel stopped. “That's the boat.” Everyone followed his gaze. At the far end of the marina sat a rather impressive boat. McFinleyyy checked the map. “That matches the symbol.” Salty looked at the name painted on the side. IRVINE. ...

  🇪🇸 The Salty Spain Special — Chapter 7 🍹 The Mojito Alliance The Salty Gang had a problem. Patel was ahead of them. The treasure map was becoming increasingly mysterious. McFinleyyy was still protecting the chips. And Ye Olde Large Lad had spent the last twenty minutes asking when the chips were going to be released. Nobody had a plan. Then Sarah stood up. “I've got an idea.” Everyone turned. Sarah disappeared into the kitchen. A few moments later, she returned carrying a large pot. Salty looked at it. “What is that?” Sarah smiled. “Mojito.” There was silence. Dinkz stared at the enormous pot. “That's not a glass.” “No.” “That's a saucepan.” Sarah nodded. Susan looked concerned. “How many people is that for?” Sarah shrugged. “Everyone?” Captain Morgan looked impressed. “Now that's preparation.” Sarah began adding the ingredients. Mint. Lime. Ice. And the other ingredients needed for her enormous holiday creation. The smell of fresh mint filled the room. Vicky laugh...

  🇪🇸 The Salty Spain Special — Chapter 6 🌺 Hawaiian Shirts & The BBQ of Doom The Salty team marched east. The sun was shining. The treasure map was safely tucked away. Miguel the teddy bear was travelling in Large Lad's backpack. And Vicky was walking beside Salty. Everything was going beautifully. Until Dinkz received a message. He stopped dead. “Guys…” Everyone turned. “What?” Dinkz looked at his phone. “We have intelligence.” Captain Morgan immediately became serious. “What kind?” “Holiday intelligence.” Salty frowned. “That's not a thing.” “It is today.” Dinkz held up his phone. “Ramadan Patel is in the area.” Everyone went silent. McFinleyyy's eyes narrowed. “Patel?” Dinkz nodded. “And apparently…” He paused dramatically. “…he's holding a BBQ.” Large Lad's eyes lit up. “BBQ?” Salty immediately understood the danger. “Forget the treasure.” Sarah stared at him. “You're not seriously thinking about going?” Salty smiled. “I'm thinking strategically.”...

  🇪🇸 The Salty Spain Special — Chapter 5 ⛲ The Fountain of Clues The morning after the great fish-market feast, the Salty Gang were up early. Well… Most of them. Ye Olde Large Lad was still asleep. Captain Morgan opened the curtains and looked outside. “Beautiful morning.” Dinkz grabbed a coffee. “Perfect day for treasure hunting.” McFinleyyy checked the map. “We follow the clues.” John Daniels nodded. “Simple.” Salty smiled. “Nothing can go wrong.” Sarah looked at him. “Every time you say that, something goes wrong.” Salty ignored her. He had a treasure to find. 🗺️ Following the Clues The group set off through the Spanish streets, following the directions on the map. The first clue led them past a café. The second took them towards a little square. The third appeared to point towards a fountain. But there was something else. Someone was following them. Salty noticed first. He turned around. A young woman was walking towards them. She smiled. “Are you the treasure hunters?” Ever...

  🇪🇸 The Salty Spain Special — Chapter 4 🐟 The Fish Market Feast The treasure hunt was underway. The map had been carefully folded. Miguel the teddy bear was safely packed. The Captain's Table meeting was finished. There was only one problem. They had absolutely no supplies. Captain Morgan looked at the group. “We need provisions.” McFinleyyy nodded. “Food?” “Food, water, equipment…” Ye Olde Large Lad interrupted. “FOOD.” Salty sighed. “Yes, Large Lad. Food.” Dinkz suddenly pointed down the street. “There's a fish market over there.” Everyone looked. Sarah smiled. “Fish sounds good.” Susan agreed. “Let's go.” Large Lad was already walking. “COME ON!” 🐟 Welcome to the Fish Market The gang entered the fish market and immediately stopped. There was seafood everywhere. Fresh fish. Prawns. Mussels. Calamari. Crab. Lobster. And things that nobody could identify but Large Lad was determined to eat. His eyes widened. “This place…” He paused dramatically. “…is HEAVEN.” Salty lau...
