Barcelo Sancti Petri Chiclana de la Frontera

... most Boho hostel you'll ever set your eyes on. It was an amazing first-hostel experience, I'll tell you that. Blew away all my expectations! It was a tall slender building that was very old. The downstairs lobby/kitchen area had a large table and wrap-around seat with plenty of pillows and tons of space. Ok this is going to be way too difficult to explain, therefore, please just take a good look at the photos! Just know that they had really cool ...

So today we didn't have an excursion because we had our own private tour guides in Rachel's host family from three years ago. They met us at the pier and were so happy to see Rachel it was great! They took us on a walking tour of historic Cadiz and we had breakfast at one of their places they like and we had churros an coffee with milk. Loly knew everyone we walked by it seemed and although they spoke no English and we speak little Spanish we were ...

... set up a little ladder so that the mice could drink the sherry out of a wine glass!


Then we went to the horse show. Very similar to what the Lippanzaner Stallions do. It was…an experience…but I don’t think I’ll ever go watch something like that again. But I can at least say that I've seen it.

... show was actually really good - she just got very bored, very quickly. you see one horse dance you've seen them all...Mike took her outside to play in the courtyard. The arena is set in a beautiful garden with a fountain. They had a ton of fun running around the garden and I thoroughly enjoyed the dancing horse show. There are 8-12 horses and horsemen who come out in the arena and do the most amazing horse dances all to beautiful spanish music. It is ...

... on top of Moorish towers…who went for water?!

Of course the Spanish would never use the word "Gibraltar" until you're practically under the famous rock. They’ve always been in a snit that the Brits never have it back. Driving down a causeway towards the backside of the Rock, we got to the checkpoint border. Traffic was backed w-a-y back waiting to get through; I got the impression ...

... chiclana gezogen, wo man schöne mittelständische häuser findet (ok, vielleicht eher das thalwil von cadiz und nicht schlieren).
entlang diesem land-finger ist wiederum nonstop strand und nicht mal der wüsteste. nicht schlecht für eine stadt. trotzdem ist die stadt sehr klein für das,dass sie den namen für die ganze region gibt. aber natürlich sehr geschichtsträchtig und wohl auch etwas der haupthafen für güter für und von der region ...

... Hier bestaat enkel de feestdag van sint nicolaas, maar geen pakjes voor de kindjes, dat is pas met drie koningen. We krijgen hier dagelijks reclame boekjes van speelgoedwinkels met daarin brieven die kindjes kunnen invullen om op te sturen: "Beste drie koningen..." Bovendien hangt het hier al vol kerstverlichting en versieringen en staan de kerstbomen hier al overal en zijn de winkels gevuld met kerstkado's en kerstballen, noem maar op! Lang leve Kerstmis...

... dit jaar voor UA en dus ben ik eens beginnen lezen in mijn boek dat ik ga analyseren voor die scriptie. Wij wonen dus in het nieuwe gedeelte van de stad Cádiz en onze school ligt in het oude gedeelte, eerst dachten we van oei, misschien zitten alle studenten in het oude gedeelte, maar nu hebben we er toch al een paar tegengekomen die ook vlakbij ons wonen en eigenlijk zijn we wel blij dat we in het nieuwe gedeelte zitten, want dan zie je tenminste heel de stad, anders kom je niet ...

... classes, if I could be even half as good as him, I would be considered a great artist. As it stands, Picasso is, in my book, the greatest person to put a brush to canvas. The other highlight was La Sagrada Familia, the huge Gadí cathedral. Google it. So now it's time to talk about the game. I'm ending the traveling part of my blog on the 90th minute of the game, because apart from being the highlight of the trip, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. My journey ended ...

... later i was still sitting at a taxi stand, not that the wait mattered because i had nowhere to go. It was obvious that my dreams of a shower and a goodnights rest were not going to be answered... Then I met some lovely british girls who offered for me to sleep in their car at a camp sight near town, however when we finally got there the campsite nazis wouldn't let me in even when i ...
