Agh Estepona

... all worth it. <br><br>The shuttle took us to the airport where we met up with 13 more overlanders. The couple from chili, Craig, Kati, Dan, Sarah, Gavin, Peter, Myumi, Dan H., ect. Then there was the most amazing European discount airlines ever and guess where my seat was? THE LAST ROW, there is already about half the normal leg room compared to a normal American airlines. Man 2.5 hours worth of hell with this weird guy who could not stop fidgeting to ...

This is by far the most beautiful city I have visited in Spain! Ronda is where the first bullfight took place and is home to the oldest bullring in Spain. The other students and I started out the day listening to one of our professors give a speech about the history of bullfighting, very interesting but after three hours I was ready to see Ronda. We then went to the bullring and had the opportunity to go inside where the fights take place. It was a feeling like no ...

... un joli endroit où écouter de la musique live (un caveau semi-ouvert sur le ciel - on voit les étoiles!!). Trois français (2 guitares, 1 violoncelle) jouent du flamenco, de la musique des balkans et partent en live!! au final, trois de leurs amis les rejoignent et terminent en apothéose!! Je voyage pendant tout le concert, je grave ces musiques dans mon esprit pour qu'elles m'accompagnent dans les montagnes sur mon vélo!<br>

It was a relatively smooth flight but got quite bumpy near the end. Worse, as were sent into a holding pattern, I began to feel nauseated. It was awful, especially as it became clear that I wasn't going to be able to fight this one off. Vomited (into a barf bag - a first, for me) several times, then, once we had wheels down, I called the flight attendant for help. She moved me into the head for the duration - gave me cold compresses - and, as I deplaned, handed me ...

... want to move; he is 27 years old and is no longer the dominant monkey. We got in the van and drove up even higher to the highest point on the vehicle road and got out. Again I had trouble with vertigo and couldn't go up the flight of stairs that would have given me views to both sides, but we did take some pictures and then got back in the van. I still can't believe that they hauled cannon up the Rock (we did see the iron rings set in the rock ...

... is aan Ronda is het uitzicht, echt fenomenaal. Er is een bangelijke brug = Puente Nuevo en die staat middenin een vallei. Naast de brug loopt er een klein weggeske naar beneden, waar je dan een zalig uitzicht hebt. Terug naar boven was wel iets minder en we zijn erna wel een dikke tien minuten moeten gaan zitten, vooraleer we terug onze adem hadden. Dan terug naar de auto om half vier en richting Cádiz waar we om half zes aankwamen, steendood! Het was een fijne tweedaagse!

Nathan says: After enjoying 3 weeks of mildly fresh but mostly clear Spanish days, we decided to take a trip to Gibraltar, seeing as it was only a little over an hour away by car. Don't ask me to explain how this works, but from the moment we left for British territory, it was as if the skies knew where we were going, and put on a figid, rainy day that would have done London proud. At first sight of it, it looked very intimidating indeed, and the liitle history ...

Today i awaken to a beautiful sunrise over the bay. On a clear day you can see the Rock of Gibraltar and if it is a very fine day even a glimpse of Africa can be caught! I spent the morning having a refreshing swim to be followed by a delightful lunch. The tomatoes here are delicious, large and juicy a lot different from the ones available at home. In the afternoon I took a ...

... taxi would come driving by with people who wanted to see the Rock within the confines of air conditioning, steel and safety glass. At about this time, I noticed that a few of the many swirling seagulls overhead began shrieking. I kept walking thinking hmmm, thatºs odd. Then every minute or so, one would come dive bombing down towards me, maybe getting to 5 or so feet above my head. Obviously I was starting to freak out... and I ...
