¡Hola! I´m in Spain. It is raining. Which is lame.
To keep you all up to date on my travels, I found that lost week of my life. Then I quickly remembered why I had forgotten it and am now working on repressing it again. We went down to Eastbourne. Not only was I the youngest person in the city by atleast 60 years, but there was also the annual air show on the same weekend we were there. Two things I really hate in life.... the elderly and aeroplanes. Lets just say I wasn´t a happy chicken. Plus the twin room with beds pushed together to make a double infuriated and confused me. Our poor lorry driver found me trying to check in to the hotel and copped the brunt of my anger.
We did go out for an awesome curry though.
I think the next stop was Southend. I couldn´t find a taxi anywhere and ended up walking for about 40 minutes, backpack and all, to the theatre, only to find that if I´d got off at an earlier train station it was only a 5 minute walk. Our shows in Southend were packed and again I was not a happy chicken.
We did go out for awesome Italian though.
I think that was it for the week I lost. But it was a horrible week.
Since I last wrote, I´ve finished my time in Fimble Valley and am working very hard to repress that as well. In fact, its probably best if noone mentions fimbles to me ever again.
After that was all over and done with, I flew to Dublin to catch up with Bo and head to Barcelona (sorry, Barthelona). I slept the night at Dublin airport, only to wake up at about 430am, thinking I was one of few people in the airport, only to find the whole departures area packed, with noone having any idea what was going on, what queue they should be in, or if there even were queues. Twas not fun. Then damn Aer Linugs wanted to charge me 8 euros for a full breakfast. Tight bastards.
Made it to Barcelona, in order to get a train to Alicant, where I currently am. I got incredibly sunburnt yesterday.... but my arse is so hot right now. Bo has discovered the wonders of buffet breakfasts and we are generally just relaxing til we tackle the rest of Europe. Ekk.

Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in ...more info

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain
