Albir Garden Apartments L'Alfas del Pi

... cafes and restaurants which all looked inviting. We found a little café just set back from the water and recharged after our hard day of travel. As it got dark we headed into the old town for a look see and to find a little tapas bar. The old town was pretty quiet except for kids who were playing in the streets. A church was the centre piece of the old town square and opposite the entrance was a warm and inviting tapas bar.

After dinner I was feeling ...

6 weeks left here in benidorm before a flying visit back home to see everyone then im off to Thailand, Oz and Fiji for a few months travelling.

Currently loving the 'dorm, its probably the most random and bizzare place to rep and although its a bit quiet at the moment having amazing nights out with the rest of the fantastic team we have here, still time to come and see me!!!

... before reaching the top (cursed our flip-flops) and opted for an easier path that led to the furthest point out to sea. The views were fantastic, and Sophie managed to pet a seagull despite my warnings that it might have the swine flu.

... Gary's going to write a more detailed entry on that one.) The rest of us enjoyed a quiet week-end at home enjoying the sun, the pool, and eating whenever we felt like it ....

The other thing that we've really enjoyed this summer is the night-time activities - with everyone indoors resting in the heat of the afternoon, the warm balmy evenings are the best time to enjoy what the region has to offer, at this time of year. We've ...

First of all I can´t believe we actually survived the night. Whats more is that the lizards and cockroaches running around didnt go near me. Thats a good start.

Never see famous people in England , yet you cycle 1500 miles to a supermarket in the middle of Spain you find Tony Robbinson. Amazing. Then we ate big food ...

Looking for a camping spot we noticed a very small crumbling abandoned building. What a great place to sleep. Little bit worrying about the old matress that was there though. Probably a hang out for crack addicts. But waking up to a mental crack head is not as bad as most of our other nights so we went for it.

Wir reisen im gut klimatisierten Zug schnell aus Alicante hinaus, fahren an El Campello vorbei, ein malerische Bucht, wo auch viel Englisch zu hören ist, wie ich am nächsten Tag feststellen kann, villa Joyosa und dann Benidorm. Der Name klingt für meine Ohren ja recht ulkig, man soll sich aber nicht an offensichtlichen Äußerlichkeiten festhängen. Denn:

Benidorm ist auf Anhieb sympathisch. Adrett, Sauber, viel leiser und ...

... fuehren entlang der Wasserduempel den Bach hinauf. Die Menschen geniessen alle das kuehle Nass und auch ich kanns kaum mehr erwarten. Ab ins kuehle Nass. Und wirklich: es ist erfrischend!

Auch das gekuehlte Bier hernach schmeckt fein! In einer netten Runde geniessen wir den Abschluss des schonen Tages!

Bussed to Denia, arriving around 6pm.

Threw our stuff at the hostel (new just 2 weeks old and awesome) then made our way down to the grandstand. The grandstand is 3-sided, with the fourth bordering the wharf and the sea. The guns went off and somewhere in the city the bull run started. We were sitting up on the second top row so could see all the guys running followed by 8 bulls into the stadium. The old ducks behind us were cackling away... dunno ...

... Hong Kong and moving back to Ireland. The fact is that in my eyes it's all paid off - they're living a life of luxury in the sun, and have raised two succesful children plus me and given us every opportunity possible. To see them here now relaxed and happy has made a big impression on me. In fact a random series of events in the last couple of weeks has made a big impression on me. My sister's wedding, a conversation about food with Sir Aaron ...
