Odpoledne jsme jeli nakoupit něco k snědku. Cestou jsme si alespoň z auta prohlédli město (viz. fotky). Obchody jsou tu jinak stejné jako všude na západě, komercializace je tu podstatně větší ne např. u nás.... read more

Europe » Spain » Catalonia » Barcelona April 12th 2007

UntitledAlso gestern war alles technische nicht so mein Ding. Musst aus der Jugi raus weil ne grosse Reisegruppe ankam und das Angebot, mit den Obdachlosen was zu suchen wollt ich dann auch nicht annehmen und drum auf den SNCF-Bahnhof da ewigslange angestanden aber man konnte keine Tickets kaufen weil irgendwei der Server den Geist aufgegeben hatte und sollt dann ne Nummer anrufen "3635" wo einem angeblich geholfen wird aber die helfen sich wohl nur selber weil ne ganze Telefonkarte vertelefoniert und mir dauernd angehoert, dass der weltrekord auf der schiene ja vom tgv (ohlala) aufgestellt wurde was einem aber so gar nix nuetzt wenn man kein Ticket dafuer kriegt und ueberhaupt waeren die 50 Millionen wohl besser in einen zweiten Server investiert gewesen als nen Zug hyperschnell durch die Gegend rauschen zu lassen. Na auf jeden ... read more

Europe » Spain » Valencian Community » Valencia April 11th 2007

Odpoledne jsme dorazili do Valencie, kde jsem se chtěl vykoupat v moři a kde jsme chtěli přenocovat. Moře bylo dost studené a počasí střídavé, ale stejně jsem se vykoupal. Kolem Valencie jsou velké sady pomerančovníků, mandarinkovníků atd. Mandarinky byly ještě na stromě, pomerančovníky u kvetou a krásně voní. Chteli jsme se ubytovat v kempu, ale nějak se nám to nezdálo. Potom jsme zkusili Ibis hotel, ale zrovna měli plno, asi kvůli nějakému svátku. Nakonec jsme se rozhodli pokračovat ještě v cestě.... read more

Europe » Spain » District of Madrid » Madrid April 11th 2007

Ever since Liz made the first Guest appearance in India i have been wondering on a regular basis how likely it was that i could get into this blog. By the time Anne-Marie showed up in Argentina i was running out of ideas and Catherine and Patrick were running out of countries. Luckily their flight was changed meaning a stopover in Madrid was a likely possibility and seeing as it was a lot more affordable to get to Madrid from Granada than to Brazil i thought to myself BINGO... So on the 11th of April i arranged to meet our two favourite world travellers in Madrid Bus Station on their definitely last stop before home. As the arranged time approached everyone in the bus station started to take on Cat or Pat appearances (bald patricks, ... read more

At last, the Travelling Canucks are back home in Vancouver, Canada after a 4 week trip over Spring Break to the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco from March 14, 2007 to April 9, 2007. Now, it's time to reflect before it's time to return to work and school, get our visa bill in the mail, and our vacation becomes a distant memory. Thankfully, over 2000 photographs were taken by the Travelling Canucks to enjoy. We have selected some of our favorites to share with our friends and over 1000 visitors to our travel blog to date! As you have followed our journey to Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais in Portugal, Barcelona, Granada, Seville, Madrid, Segovia and Toledo in Spain, and, Marrakesh, Fes and Rabat in Morocco, you may have wondered, as many of our friends have, what was ... read more

Europe » Spain » Andalusia » Granada April 10th 2007

Wednesday, April 4, 2007 I didn’t really have any plans for us for Wednesday morning, so we decided to try to do some shopping. We walked through the shop area, Travis bought his belt and sweatshirt, Mom bought her shirt, and Dad, well Dad walked along. We wondered up into the shopping area of the Albaycin and Dad bought a cool little cut out coin there from this guy. Well, then we headed toward Monica’s mom’s house where we were having lunch. She made chicken and vegetable paella. After lunch we sat around and talked some, Manolo (Eva’s husband) and I translated the best we could. I have a much harder time understanding Monica’s parents than I do her though! Well, Travis and I sat down at the couch and started to play connect four. However, ... read more

Greetings from in-transit Danielle. I’ve just embarked on my first long-distance train trip in Spain. I’m on my way to Barcelona from Bilbao on a 9-hour journey to spend my Easter vacation. I usually take the plane for convenience purposes as it only takes an hour and costs a mere 30 euro more, but I thought that this time it might be nice to see some of the country side between the Basque country and Catalonia. Anywho, I’ve taken short distance train trips before, no more than 2 hours. The trains that are usually provided for such distances somewhat resemble a city bus, standing room and hard plastic benches. The train that I am is well-equipped for long distance travel all the way down to reclining seats. The only thing is that it looks like ... read more
