Etap Alicante

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!!!

Well would you believe it? I've been working for the last 2 days. A friend of Dave's who I met a couple of weeks ago needed a Brickie to build a couple of pillars. So, I dusted off the old trowel. It's been a long time but you never lose it.

Amanda is back tonight. I'm picking her up at Alicante Airport at about 11.30pm. Lucy and me have really missed her and we are both looking forward to seeing her...Ahhh.

I got up nice and early and was outside the Bank at 8.30 when they opened. I explained the situation and they asked me for the fax receipt which I didn't have. After a lot of huffing and puffing by the cashier she went and got out my paper file. Low and behold there was the receipt that they neglected to give to me the last time. It was duly resent and this time I made sure I had both receipts...Memo to self...Make sure you ...

... the air traffic from Alicante or Murcia.

So there I am playing with the remote control of my new toy when everything goes off! What's up? I check out the fuse box but everything is OK. Looking out of the window I can see the man from Iberadola driving off...I've been cut off again..AGHHH!

Phoned the electric company who tell me they have no record of the payment from 2 weeks ago so I need to go to the Bank and get them to re-send it but of course the Bank has just closed ...

We have been having a really lazy time for the past 10 days or so except for the cleaning and unpacking of course. Apart from a couple of bike rides into San Miguel one of the neighboring towns we haven't been far.

The weather has remained ...

[Vous êtes vivement invité à visiter une version tout en couleur et avec vidéos de mon journal sur: http://sites.google.com/site/hsia75/era smus/semana-23-26-piso-carnaval] Me voilà dans mon nouvel appartement depuis un mois. Je n'aurai jamais pensé pouvoir vivre une si bonne expérience moi qui craignait être un mauvais colloc' et ne pas être tolérant des autres colloc's. Il s'avère que je suis plutôt un bon colloc' (du moins on ne m'a pas encore fait de remarques) et ...

... 1 et il nous reste 6 matchs à jouer dans notre championnat régional. Si nous nous classons dans les 4 premiers des 7 équipes, nous jouerons des play-off qui autorisent les gagnants à participer à la coupe nationale. Ce mercredi, nous jouons notre second match. J'ai la fierté de voir mon nom apparaître sur la composition de l'équipe de notre université sur une page internet: (COPIER COLLER le lien) https://www.upv.es/pls/oalu/SIC_DEPCOM_ CONSULTAS ...

... it .... A car that detects the lights need to go on!!)Ok, we are fine with that invention, now let's go. We can't move, the hand brake appears to be on! Bugger! Bernie sends Karon back in to get assistance. Excuse me how do you take the hand brake off? Uhm ... the young man gets into the car and tries to move the car forward and back. He concludes that the hand brake must be automatic, too! He tells us that once you put it in gear it will release the brake ... then he ...

... view of the hillside and beach. After a quick dinner I went with Victor, Dori, Luis, y Manuela (Victor's friends in the area) for a walk around town. On Saturday we played on the beach and walked around the beachfront most of the afternoon. For lunch we met Luis y Manuela at Veradano Restuarante. We had empanadas, toasted almonds, calamari, croquettas, jamon (cured ham), bread, and ali-oli (kind of ...

... juice and the Serrano ham and cheese sandwich I had were nothing special. I seem to say that a lot about Spanish food, don't I? The peach juice was actually kind of ******.

Heard an old "Rasmus" song playing at the rest stop - ahhh ... memories of my trip to Spain two years ago! For some strange reason, these small little things that remind me of previous travels always seem to put a smile on my face.

Back on the bus - I ...
