Barrosa Park Hotel Cádiz

... mine haha. We checked out downstairs with cool hippie-German clerk and then set out on a search for churros con chocolate. Yes, you read that right. What an amazing combination! I know! You are served a heaping plate of churros and a mug full of thick chocolate, used for dipping. Oh and sugar too, of course ;). Unfortunately, the churros weren't very impressive. I'd say they get better the farther north you go in Andalucia. The rest of the morning ...

... and Cameron Diaz in it. I hope they get a part! Lunch was interesting and kind of like eating in a Chinese restaurant as the plates just kept coming! After lunch we said goodbye to the sons and continued walking and finally ended up back at the ship but not before taking a rest in the Plaza DE Espana across from the ship. When we were there the park cat ladies came by and fed the wild cats who were pretty friendly. Great ending to a very nice day!

... of the sweetest sherry called "Nectar" for 8 Euro. I really didn’t like their regular sherry though. They were pretty cool though. When celebrities or royalty come visit, they have them sign a barrel of Tio Pepe instead of signing a guestbook! And they have a family of mice that are sherry connoisseurs. One of the distillery ...

... something to see. After the show we headed to another white village town called Arcos de la Frontera. This was another cobble stoned hillside town set among 2 churches and a convent. We had a nice lunch and walked around the town. The streets were narrow and tiny and mike did a great job of navigating through the narrow roads (he's getting much better)...we left and started our 2.5 hour drive from there to Nerja our destination for the next 7 days ...

... it the gold coast of Portugal, amazing, blue clear water.. so so so nice!!! All the beaches are about a 10 min walk or less from each other. Went out for a quick beer that night with some guys from the hostel. The next day we beached it again then went out for a night on the town , we wanted to have fish bowls as we had heard they are something everyone trys in Lagos, What a bad idea that was, i ended the night very sick, thankfully it was Annas turn to ...

I'd been to Spain for like a month now and I hadn't seen the sea yet, so I decided to change things and get a bit of suntan. I called up 3 friends, we packed ourselves to a comfortable train and after an hour or so we got off in Cadiz, an important harbour and a really nice city on the Costa de la Luz. <br><br>Although I went there for the first time in February, it was so warm that I could stay in the swimsuit and survive. We started with a cheerful visit in a ...

... dry sherries and also brandy. The tour was a good one. Some of it was the same you get at any winery, but there are enough distinctive details that make it worth seeing. They use American white oak rather than French, but I didn't ask about that because I had already asked more questions than anybody else and I wasn't too sure about Franco-Spanish relations these days. They have a large cask that holds 33 barrels, and so it is named El Cristo (because Jesus ...

... the mountains, all white houses and buildings!! It was soo pretty!!! Once we finally got close to Cádiz, you could see the ocean and the sea!! It would have been soo nice outside, if there wasnt so much wind!! But the sun was shining, so no complaints there!! The city of Cádiz is very beautiful, a lot taller buildings than in Granada, but very similar with the narrow streets and older, historic looking buildings. Upon getting there we walked to where the festivities ...

... ziekenhuis. Terwijl Kirsten Camellia probeerde te kalmeren, ben ik de Spoed gaan zoeken, die dus aan den andere kant van het ziekenhuis was, waardoor we eerst een paar straten moesten doorwandelen eer we daar waren. Daar aangekomen is Camellia direkt met de dokter meegegaan en hebben ik en Kirsten al haar formulieren in orde laten maken. Dan mochten we mee naar de kamer waar ze verzorgd werd. We hoorden dan dat er iemand werd binnen gebracht die net een attack had gehad dus liep ik ...

... Spanish need a siesta time, is because they stay out all night. I'm serious. The only quiet time is from about 6am to 8am.... I think I woke up because there was no noise. Scooters everywhere, up and down the alleys--they are really loud and they echo. When I'm walking, I stop and peer around corners so that I don't get run over. I've spent a few hours of my days on the rooftop garden, lounging in the hammocks.....rough life I know. I ...
