Driving towards Lleida had its own interest. In broad daylight, Good Friday, spaced at roughly 1klm intervals, by the side of a busy national Rd, nothing else aound - ladies of the night (or are they ladies of the day at that hour), sitting on plastic chairs with mobile phones stuck to their ears. That´s one tough gig. I thought how desperate they looked but then realised they were only half as desperate as the clients I assume must turn up. And what do they do with the chairs while they are fullfilling their job description? LLeida was always going to be Logisticsville. email - tick washing - tick. Never thought I could get so excited about clean clothes. car clean - tick. A story in itself. Remember Penny, FICHA means token and MONEDA means coin. ... read more

Sunday, April 1, 2007 The bus arrives in Madrid at around 6:45. I get off at the second stop and catch the Metro to the Airport. I arrive at the airport about an hour later with plenty of time to spare before needing to meet my family’s 8:45 arrival. So, I ask for the plane I think they’re on and am directed to Terminal 1. So, I find the arrival gates and watch people emerge for about 45 minutes or so, then my phone rings. It’s my mother. She’s asking where I am…”In the arrival area waiting for you” Well, I was in the wrong terminal watching the wrong group of Americans emerge. So, after catching a bus to Terminal four I finally found them! Hearing Dad’s whistle (because we’re all trained like darned dogs) was ... read more

well, this is long overdue. Madrid was fun. It was great to see kappie. I think i had a glistening tear in my eye when i met her at the airport and when we embraced. we did lots of giddy twin catching up and making fun of each other. Sunday we sat at a café on comédie and got some food, then went to my friend genevieve's for dinner and a movie. We left for Madrid via Marseille, so we took the train to marseille and went to the awesome budget airline terminal at the airport where the five employees for RyanAir did everything from check in with baggage to getting us on the plane- they probably even turned into the flight attendants. I guess you do what you can when you are a budget airline. ... read more

Tired but stoked We got into Madrid at about 8pm on Wednesday 7th of March, caught the metro from the Airport which was pretty easy and found our hostel was a 2 minute walk from a metro station. So that was a good start! Got into Ole hostel and there was a guy at reception, Eriky, who showed us around the hostel and we managed to settle in pretty quickly. We were in need of some food so we asked where the supermarket was and he told Murphie, and at this point I had no idea how bad Murphie was at map reading or directions in general, but we started off thinking it was a 5 minute walk...an hour and a half later we had given up, cold and windy in Madrid so we started to ... read more

flying into madrid was a mixed blessing at first. the skys were way clearer than the skys clowdy skys of england, but because of such clarity I was able to see the mile high layer of grey blak smog that hung over the city, which was kind of depressing in its own respect. But it was not enough to blot out the hot spanish sun and I have been enjoying wandering aroung the streets in my shorts, especcilay since my now only pair of pants are starting to get kinda funky and not in the good way. After getting lost a bit i finally found my way to the hostel which is a few blocks away from what my travel book calls the "physical and emotional hart of madrid." for those of you form vancouver its ... read more

¡Hola! ¿Que pasa? Well I am now back in Utrecht after an amazing 5 days in Madrid, Spain! We had such a great time... cheap shopping, sunny weather, friendly people, and plenty of tapas and sangria! The cheap flight that we got to Madrid was with RyanAir (one of the cheapest smaller European airlines) and they only fly out of Eindhoven, Netherlands, which is about a 50 min train ride south of Utrecht. It was a bit of a process getting there since our flight was so early. We had to leave our place at 5am (in a cab since the buses don't run that early)... then take the 50 min train ride to Eindhoven (which we almost missed).... then a bus ride from the Eindhoven train station to the airport.... then the 2 hour ... read more
