... 15 minutes to take pictures by the small river which had very little water in it and a lot of garbage. We got back on the bus and drove to Aleta to see an old church and that was locked soooo we went back to the ship and went to dinner but first I talked on the phone and managed to lose my glasses. Didn't realize it however until after dinner and then ...

... 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.<br><br>PICTURES:<br>http://picasaw eb.google.ca/Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091021B enidormCalpe?authkey=Gv1sRgCNe0y9HEn7yW DA&amp;feat=directlink

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.<br>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 ...

... I found some really cool things and the best part is that aside from meeting these terrible gringos, I am loving loving loving Alicante!~! I am more relaxed here and I'm more peaceful. Which is something I'm sure anyone who knows me for more than a day is sure to find cra cra! I am actually happy and not angry all the time and I feel at home and safe...smile...<br>I even got a really beautiful mother of pearl bracelet and ...

... with: "What nationality are you?" I stared at him blankly and replied "British", I joked, "this is the BRITISH consulate". He then wisely replied "no, no. Many people don´t realise this but Britain actually consists of England, Scottland, and Wales". At this point someone else sitting behind, him who we had previously spoke to, started to silently cry laughing. I replied "yeh, I know but....." He then interupted me and said "no, your not hearing me, the Island ...

... made more funny when Miguel came down and she realised it was him. Awesome we are actually meeting people again. Once we got everyone together (including a few more recruits bringing the total to 11) we headed toward the town centre to find some decent clubs. Obviously during the two hour walk there many funny things happened including when a hooker tried to pull Alex2's pants down ...

... odd receptionists we actuially managed to book ourselves a room each with en suite facilities for 7 euros. Unbelievable. I cant tell you how amazing it was to have this luxuory. Right, well lets make the most of this and shave, maybe we will meet some people. And so we did. There were two Belgian (Vince and Miguel) and three German dudes (Hanas, Alex2, Garret) cooking, all of which turned out to be ...

... usual and fell asleep in a wierd location (motorway traffic Island) as usual. Then, as usual, whilst going to the toilet a big animal started rustling around in a bush next to me. I nonchalently threw a massive rock in there to freak it out. <br><br>Then we soundly fell asleep to the sound of heavy traffic a few meters away.

Mit: Patrick aus Österreich<br><br>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:<br><br>Benidorm ist auf Anhieb sympathisch. Adrett, Sauber, viel leiser und ...

... outside of Rome where our bikes would not be a problem. He calls us back 2 hours later and we are off to Zagarolo, one hour southeast of Rome to stay for 4 nights in the villa of Stefano Portiolo. We changed our Barcelona departure date by a day so for 4 nights we thought Rome would again be interesting. We arrive in Zagarolo thanks to good directions and Tom Tom (GPS) to find a slight of build man in his late 40s greeting us to the home of his parents. The home is on ...
