Alone And Tropic Hotel Cala Finestrat

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!!!

... part in all parts of the process and to taste it after-wards!!! [ The sourdough pasta madre that is used is already 11 years old and comes from a Christian community near Alcoy. Jordy learned to bake amazing organic sourdough bread and can support himself and the project with this. He offered us a part of sourdough to take ...

So today is our last day and we are both ready to be done with it! We arrived not until noon in Alicante and we had reserved an excursion to see two towns near Alicante. One was Jalon and is famous for Muscatel wine and the other was Aleta famous for nothing except that the tour guide lives there. So this day turned out to be a double holiday in Spain and ...

Benidorm is called the Manhattan of the Costa Blanca, not cause its super cool, but because of its numerous high rises. We didn't spent much time here, we drove 20 min to the next town called Calpe. We did a cool hike, up a huge rock peninsula, and recommended by the guide book we brought with us. Being experienced hikers and being completely ignorant as to what we ...

These pictures are from me trying to take a photo of myself writing with my ancient feather pen from the Alicante market and from walking around Alicante on a tour of the the two cathedrals, San Nicolas y Santa Barbara.
The pictures later are from our visit to two little pueblos just outside of Alicante; Guadalest and Altea. In the little town of Guadalest is a beautiful castle ...

Frustrating! One was really interesting it was a boiled egg that was fried in a batter and served. At first I thought it was a chicken nugget then I thought it was fried cheese then I realized there was yoke.
Some of the people in our ...

... consists of three countries". So, in my English accent i played along and said "I am English". He said " they don't teach you things like that in uni, but its important". Agreeingly, I replied "well, I have been to uni and they certainly did not teach me that". He then said that the best way to keep your passport safe is to bury it. Well after loosing the coke bottle in the sand this certainly wasnt an option for me. However, it may be an idea to buy Alex a shovel.

So, day 2 in Alacant. Had to start off by finding the British consulate so Alex can get a new passport. After a pretty standard day we bought some cheap Sangria and food which we cooked in the courtyard of the hostel. Thats right 7 euros a night and it has an f-in courtyard. We cooked food, drank and ate with a few of the German dudes whilst the rest of the guys where lost in the city. After ...

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 ...

... effigies standing proud in the streets, waiting to be burned. I didn't even try to get my bearings with all the winding streets, although Jimmy seemed quite keen to get lost as he wandered out in search of cheese, wine or bus tickets. There wasn't much sleep to be had. Day or night, in my mind, Emma coined the phrase "madness gone mad", and rarely before had I felt as though that's what I was living.
