Los Arcos - Viana 19.5 km. Ankunft 11.30 Die hatten es heute echt in sich. 10 % Gefaelle teilweise und ein stetiges bergauf bergab machten meinen Knie extrem zu schaffen. Die Fusssohlen brennen wie Feuer gestern, weil wir so gerannt sind. Heute bin ich mit Margret um 06.30 Uhr losmarschiert und dann alleine weitergelaufen. Mein Tempo, die anderen waren mir in der Frueh einfach viel zu schnell. Gestern haben wir ja noch gut gekocht. Spagethi mit Ratatoullie. Tomatensalat. Lecker - Mucho gusto. Ein gutes San Miguel getrunken. Meine Blasen versorgt. Die Idee einfach was von meinen Gepaeck nach Santiago zu schicken war gut, aber jetzt hat mir Hannah (da die Post erst um 8.30 Uhr morgens auf macht, wie alles hier) mein Saeckchen zur Post gebracht und zu Gudi nach Hause geschickt. Supi!!!! das waren 1.2 ... read more

Europe » France » Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur » Arles June 14th 2007

Today , the jet lag has eased and feeling a bit less stuffy in the head, I am able to now collate my thoughts a bit better, perfect time to start my blog. After around 30 -feels like 60-hours of flying and airport hanging around we arrived in the south of France. At Marseilles airport, I awaited questioning by the immigration officer, to my surprise there was no customs, no questioning, no searching bags - nothing. I don’t even know whether the European authorities checked that I had a visa to come into the country. It was an amazing experience arriving back in Arles. Everything is just so stereotypically French. The old 16th century stone houses, cobbled streets lined with cafes, boulangeries, gorgeous little boutiques, and the French language floating in the air like a ... read more

Hello everybody! en catala: Ja fa una colla de dies que estic voltant pel mon. Teoricament ara hauria d'estar treballant pero mentre estava viatjant per America del Sud vaig fer-me una promesa: he d'aprendre a comunicar en angles! La milor manera d' aprendre l'angles, crec, es viure en un pais angloparlant. A Europa en tenim uns quants i a Irlanda i tinc un bon amic: en Gary. En Gary es irlandes, amant del whiskey i la cervesa i a mes parla catala. (Aprofito per donar-li un milio de gracies ja que la seva hospitalitat fa sentir-me super comode a Limerick). A mes, puc gaurdir d'un professor-guia particular que fa que la cultura irlandesa em sigui molt mes permeable. Si he de destacar alguna caracteristica de la gent que he anat conegent fisn ara en destacaria ... read more

... nach nun ca. 2 bis 3 Wochen schönem Wetter, habe ich im Moment, dass sich der Herbst ankündigt .... heute haben wir 16 Grad, Regen und kalten Wind ... *frost* Heute habe ich erfahren, dass ich im September für meine Diplomarbeit wieder nach Stockholm kommen darf *riesigfreu*. Die Modalitäten muss ich dann mal noch mit dem Chef von Züblin Scandinavia absprechen (wegen Wohnung und so). Ein Thema haben die auch schon für mich rausgesucht. Jetzt muss nur noch mein Prof. zustimmen. Ich werde ja mal sehen .... Da steht jetzt dem Kauf eines Grammatikbuches und dem Besuch des Sprachkurses an der KTH Stockholm nix mehr im Weg .... ... wenn alles gut läuft, dann hätte ich vielleicht sogar schon einen Job nach meiner Dipl. ... hier in Stockholm sind sehr viele Projekte geplant ... ... read more

Europe » Spain » Galicia » Santiago de Compostela June 14th 2007

Hi everyone, Well it is hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day on the Camino. The last few days we have walked through lovely country lanes often shaded by large eucalyptus trees. The fragrance has been amazing - especially after the rain. The countryside has not been anything spectacular - really not unlike N.Z. On Tuesday we walked to Melide which is famous for their octopus dishes. You are right Janet - there was not much to see there but it suited us to stay the night. Ended up in a little pension but it was a bit of a ´dive´but at least had it´s own bathroom. Smelled very strongly of janola which I think was masking a different smell in the bathroom! At least it was quiet and we had a good night ... read more

Yesterday was a bit of a transit day, an they always seem to be the ones with the best weather. Said farewell to ET group an Bussed it from Bled to Ljub then caought the train to Venice. It was just a quick glance at Venice before a bus trip out to Camp Alba (am staying in villages for Italy, too expensive). This place is right under the airport, litteraly. Its like a hows the surrenity moment every 5min. Im in a room with a mother an daughter who are a bit strange an not the most socialist of types. Today it was off to see Venice! The bus in takes about 20min. There is a massive Heinikin Festival going on about 10min from our site, Iron Maiden Pearl Jam Chemical Romance The Killers Incubus ... read more

Europe » Spain » District of Madrid June 14th 2007

Trip So FarMatthew Feben Well not to much to say here really. We had a fairly comfortable ride from Barcelona although the train was delayed by about an hour. There was also little trouble getting to the hostel, so fars things were looking pretty good for Madrid. But this was about as far as the good times went. We checked into our hostel and into our 6 person room that was lucky to be the size of my bedroom at home. Space was definately at a premium, but we learnt to cope with that and it would have been fine except for the fact that everything in this damned hostel did not work.....the oven, the dryer, the tv, the dvd player and not to mention the girls bathroom being completely ripped out on the day we ... read more

Yesterday I left my mountain village and took the bus to Pescara, which is a sizeable city on the Adriatic Sea. I had the address of the car rental office but no idea where it was. Reason for panic!!! As the bus started to drive down the main drag I attemted to ask the driver if he knew the location-----he answered in clear English and then dropped me at the front door of the office! One other anecdote. When I was planning this trip I was going to be on my own for the entirety. At the last minute Steve ( an acquaintance at the 'Y' )asked me if I wanted to join a group organized by Gordon & Anita. I did and met Garth,Denis,Paul,Rick,Bruce & George.A group of diverse, amiable and fun-loving men - some ... read more
