Hi folks, crossed smoothly over to Santander, through to Marbella via Salamanca, well worth a visit see photos. On campsite at Cabopino, lots of Brits overwintering, sunny with a chilly wind so paddling not swimming in sea!... read more

So, I never did get to write about Marbella. Marga and her family invited Sarah and I to spend the weekend with them in Marbella. One of Marga's nephews lives there. We camped out in their apartment, did lots of sight seeing, and had some great tapas. The harbor there was lined with so many yachts that it would put Key West's harbor to shame. Seriously, some of these boats were mansions. For those Pennsylvanians out there....they even had their own "spillway". In some areas along the dock the tourists are constantly feeding the fish. The ducks weren't quite walking on the fish...but the fish were definitely huge! It was a great weekend. Marga is so generous; I don't know what I'd do without her here. It was just great to leave Adra for the weekend. ... read more

So the other weekend I went with my rotary group and 2 other exchange students to Granada. It was very cool. I got to skip school Friday so that made a lot better. haha. I still had to wake up kinda early. My host dad Paco took me to some random gas station and a bus met me there with the other exchange students and my rotary group in it. The trip up was very nice. My rotary group consists of about 2 Spaniards. The rest are foreign like me. They all have traveled all over the world. The leader of the club's name is Nina and she is from Denmark. They all are so amazing. When ever I go on a trip with them they pay for everything. The food, transportation, and things we ... read more

Geo: 36.5099, -4.88635 GÜN 60 Günlerden Salı İki aydır yollardayız bugün seyahatimizin 60.günü. Hala boşanmadık ve boşanmayı düşünmüyoruz. Sabah 08:30 da yola çıktık. Bu kez akıllandım ve MIO ya "ekonomik yol" talimatı verdim. Muhteşem keyifli yerlerden geçtim. Önce Sevilla ya doğru seyrettik çevre yolundan Utrera istikametinde aktık Sonra Ronda'yı geçtik. İnanılmaz güzellikte manzaralarla dağları aşıp Akdeniz sahiline vardık. Ayşe tepelerde biraz korktu, fakat fazla bir sıkıntı yaşamadık. Benim gençliğimde Anadolu'yu gezerken, arabanın burnu Van gölün'de Erciş'i geçtikten sonra, Çakırbey'de batı'ya dönerdi. İşte o zaman "artık seyahat bitti" derdim. Şimdi sahile varınca ,arabanın burnu doğu yu gösterdi . Neredeyse seyahat b... read more

A sleepy morning was followed by a croissant breakfast on our balcony. Mark and Deb had a nice walk in the sun on the beach. We then headed out toward Marbella. We stopped and walked around Puerto Banus to see it during the daylight. It was very pretty with the white boats and white houses in the bright sunshine. We drove on to Marbella and after finding a parking garage for the bus, walked around the old town of Marbella. Deb found several nice shops for some small gifts. The Plaza de Naranjos (oranges) was a nice spot to sit down and have a drink. Old town Marbella features many tight streets with shops and small plazas with cafes and shops. A surprising amount were open despite being Christmas Eve. We continued to see the abundance ... read more
