Ou est le bibliotheque?

after simon left as championship Shithead (card game) we headed off to madrid.

when we got to madrid the metro at the station was closed for a refurb so we walked to the centre which wasnt too far. we saw some nice fountains and the art de triumph so we have seen 3 of them so far. unfortunately for us madrdid was on a holiday so everything was shut. we had a few coffees and walked around a while till out train was in. thye night life in madrid is pretty good after anout 9pm everyone was out.

the night train to algeciras was awful! we were in a cabin with 6 seats we presumes that as the seats moved to make 3 beds we would have a bed each oh we were so wrong we had 6 in the cabin and lots of people were getting on and off during the night eventually at 4am i was able to actually layout on the so called bed but i dint get much sleep. ponce we were in algeciras we got the tickets for teh ferry to Morocco.

for some reason it was cheaper to get the bus to tarifa and then get the ferrry from there. hwne we got to tarifa we had a an hour to find somewhere to put pour bags but could we find anywhere! we looked in the port in 6 or so hostels and no where would take our bags it such a pain so when we got to morocco we had to carry our bags everywhere.

morocco was amazing such a good place i would love o go back there one day but beware you get hassled as soon as you put foot onto moroccan soil. we went to the markets in median which was really cool. just that we stood out so much everyoine was hassling you and asking you to buy stuff but so much fun as well.

we hopped back on the ferry in the evening and got a lift to the hoistel in tarifa whihc was a really nice and chilled place.

mect day we got back to tarifa centre and grabbed a bus to algeciras then trained it to seville.

seveille is a really nice place we just had paella. tomorrrow off to portugal!

calella and back to barcelona

We met up with simon and went to calella which is slightly up the coast. we managed to get a cheap hotel and the room was really good. we spent a few night drinking and playing cards it was nice to relax.

during the day there we went to the beach and played football in the mini goals they have there and lso went swimming lots. we swam out to a buoy which had a slide and a diving board to jump off, poor simon being short struggled to get on it as the ladder wasnt there. the beach was very nice although the sand was a killer for your feet. we ended up playing footy with our socks on so it didnt hurt so much.

The 7th was a wicked day but it had its ups and downs. it started off at midnight with the guys singing happy birthday to me and us all running into the sea in the pitch black. the water was so warm! we body surfed for a while hope you like the pics. once we left calella to get to barcelona to get a train to madrid. when we got there the only train we could get would leave late so we wold be stuck in barcelona for hours. it would also cost simon over 100 euros to get a return ticket so we decided to cancel the accomodation in madrid. we were luckily approached in the station by a guy working for a hostel who had some cheap beds going so we took that. we got a privte room with a bathroom & shower for only 16 euro each, which is pretty good.

we sorted our stuff out and went to get ome food. we ended up going to an all you can eat buffet. we ate soooo much. there was lots and lots of salad, pizza, spaghetti, coffee and ice cream. there was just so much we ended up being totally stuffed to the brim.

In the evening we watched the england match which was rubbish against northan ireland.then we went out and had a meal at a really cheap restaurant called fondas. i had veal which was relly nice but not as nice as lukes lamb.

we then went out to a club where we drank lots. i got a vodka and coke, i thought they werent going to stop pouring the vodk in! they put in so much but it was nice hehe. the club was pretty cheesy but we had lots of fun as you will see in the pictures.

Barcelona!

Been in Barelona a few days now we have seen the Olympic stadium and the Olympic village which is an awesome sight. You will have to see the pictures.

We did the Fat tyre bike tour which again was excellent. It took us all around barcelona and there is certainly some interesting stuff about Bacrelona that i didnt have a clue about.

The other night we met some girls from australia and we all went for a curry which was pretty cheap. We also went to see the Magic Fountain as its called which was amazing. the funniest thing was the night before we went there to see it but we got the days mixed that it was on so we sat aorund waiting for nothing. still when we did see it, it was well worth the wait.

last night again we met up with some other girls from the UK and we went out and ate Paella which ie never had but it was quite nice i actually like the muscles. We had a huge glass of beer which must be a half litre glass at least.

so we have had some busy nights. we spent the day at the beach today on one of the artificial beaches. the water is absolutely gorgeous.

we are hopefully going to the neu camp tomorrow but its a bit complicated as we also have to meet up with a mate who is flying in to barcelona.

we have booked a hotel in Calella for 3 night for only 25 euros a night so fingers crossed it will be nice. after that we plan to go to Madrid.

nice was nice

ok so ive said it Nice was nice very nice! i was glad to get out of the hostel in rome it was awful my bed was positioned at the top of the room up some stairs with other beds but where i slept if i rolled off one side i would fall about 6 meters or so to the ground - glad i dont move around!

well the weather in nice was superb it was baking hot and we stayed at the beach all day. the water was gorgeous all different colours of blue.

oh and the ladies well they were stunning!!

the beach had some volleyball courts where we watched a few games it was very nice to chill out in the evening as they played. i even played footy on the side walk along the bach with some locals. they saw the ball and asked me to play it was great fun.

now were in Barcelona and its still very hot. we walked around to day like zombies as we got the overnight train. didnt sleep much so were pretty tired right now.

we have just cooked bolognase it was yummy.

oh and i did i say the girls in nice were gorgeous hehe i couldnt stop lookin they were everywhere!
