Blogs from Spain, Europe - page 985

Ok, so I know I haven’t updated the blog in quite a few days. Sorry, but I’ve been quite busy. I’m going off recollection, so I may be omitting some things. Lucky for you, I have a great memory though haha. Also, I'm writing this while I'm in Barcelona and I got my damn camera stolen today, so unfortunately I won't be able to add pics for Madrid or my first couple days in Barcelona :( I'm going to buy a camera tomorrow and try to snap some pics so you can see Barcelona. Anyways, here's the blog......... Oh, my god……. Will this old man, EVER shut the hell up?!?!?!??! That was the basic theme of the night. It started off with my friend and I waking up at 9am after going to bed at 6. ... read more

We arrived in this interesting city yesterday and have walked around in awe at the magnificent cathedral and the many smaller churches. Pilgrims abound, having walked a minimum of 112K to receive the certificate of compostela (the way of the stars that led the monk to the remains of St. James - brother of John). We attended mass this morning at the cathedral. We cannot upload photos on this computer, so will send one later. The entire King of Glory could fit into one section. The pre-service was chanting in Latin by the priests; at least eight of them. They then processd with five altar boys and one of the priests was the singing leader. The essence of the sermon - from what we could glean - was that if we choose to trust God who ... read more

It's flown these last few days, Thursday 19th. We popped to Palma and tried to show the girls some culture, as you can probably imagine they weren't too impressed. And the green man had changed into a roman Centurion who we had a sword fight with, we done 2 caches nearby the Parc de la Mar! It really is a lovely city, the cathedral and palace is lovely, all though we didnt go in ( as we had been round them before) and didn't think it would be the girls cup of tea. We wandered up the old streets, it somehow reminds me of the lanes in Brighton. We came back to the pool mid afternoon and the girls made friends with a Spanish Girls with broken Spanglish. We went to a great restaraunt for Steak, ... read more

www.diariodeunviaje.com (todo en nuestra pagina web) Desde Madrid, la ruta más corta y con menos tráfico es: N-II-Madrid-Alcolea-Monrreal del Campo-Teruel-Sarrion-Montanejos-Zucaina-Ludiente. LUDIENTE - BARRANCO DEL MANZANO (21/6) La noche anterior acampamos en Fuente Los Ignacios, entre los kms 14 y 15 antes de llegar a Ludiente. Hicimos la aproximación al barranco con 2 coches. Uno lo dejamos en el km 15 al lado de un cartel que pone "Termino de Ludiente" y el otro en Mas de Vicenta, cerca de la entrada al barranco. Es un barranco de gran belleza. En esta época lleva abundante agua debido a las intensas lluvias que han caido en los últimos días. Al ser de roca caliza, hay un gran número de pozas de agua cristalina con divertidos saltos. El rápel más largo son 45 m, se puede fraccionar en dos ... read more

Sunday 15 June 2008 Tasha and Drew came round to drop off a plant at our's and we went to the Japanese buffet down the road for lunch. The waitress accidentally spilled Drew's coke on him, to which he responded by jumping up rather abruptly and looking like he was going to hit someone. Funny for us, not for him. Monday 16 June 2008 I only had 2 people in my evening class today - the women. And one of them kept taking phone calls during the class. But I had a kit-kat as a prize for the activity, so at least someone left happy... Tuesday 17 June 2008 I did Message In A Bottle (The Police) in my afternoon class today - they found it soooo difficult! Oh dear... Wednesday 18 June 2008 Raj came ... read more
