Europa 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!!!

... pass by to help out in the garden, baking bread, gathering wood, repairing parts of the house and taking care of the two and a half donkeys (Trinity is pregnant) and the chickens. I felt really welcome and felt directly at home and part of the whole project. We helped out wherever we could: gathering and carrying wood ...

... was closed. It was not only a Sunday but the church holiday of All Saints Day. We instead went to a small town called Gata, yes meaning female cat. There was a small bodega which sold the wine so we got to go there and taste a very tiny portion and taste almond nugget. Neither were good. Then we drove to another small town all closed up and got to have ...

... getting ourselves into, we embarked on the hike with just our "flippy-floppies". The start of the hike was nothing more than a walk in the park with a nice stone path that led us into a manmade tunnel. The tunnel was pretty neat, complete with ropes to help guide us in the dark and to avoid bailing on the slick rock. Once out of the tunnel, the path changed ...

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 ...

Nicht aufregen, sie fallen nur in eine Einkaufstuete und werden auf einem Foerderband weitertransportiert, wo sie darauf warten, abgeholt zu werden. Jeder hat 3 Tueten Minimum in jeder Hand. Wow.

... il n'était pas très en forme à cause d'une grippe, il était motivé à gagner car lui ne voulait pas aller courir 42km... Nous sommes 5 au départ puisque qu'il y avait ses 3 amis. Nous courûmes les 10 premiers km ensemble puis, lors d'une toute petite pente qui m'a fatiguée, je les ai lâché. Sur cette course nous étions environ 5500 coureurs. Il y avait pas mal de spectateur et il faisait beau. De plus, c'est une ville portuaire ce qui signifie qu'une ...

... aurait dû pleuvoir pratiquement tous les jours durant les 10 derniers jours or il n'a plu que quelques gouttes. C'est donc un plaisir de marcher durant 15 minutes entre ma résidence et ma salle de cours dans un environnement aussi relaxant et sain qu'est ce campus ensoleillée. Qué tal Paris?! lol * Lessive: Dans la résidence, il y a un lave-linge professionnelle qui coûte 4€ au total. A ce prix-là, j'ai décidé d'adopter une méthode adéquate. Je ne s ...

... gut zeigen kann :P naja, generell war letzte woche eher smooth (;)) weil am freitag auch feiertag war.. also nur 4 tage arbeiten, juhu! dementsprechend sind wir donnerstag ausgegangen und haben uns dann freitag den festumzug angeguckt. Samstag musst ich dann schon wieder früh raus, weil Wesley und ich nach Benidorm in einen Vergnügungspark wollten, das war ziemlich genial. Ja, ich war zwar leicht ängstlich, aber ich bin ...

After a short drive and an introduction to the Spanish National roads (no tolls and not too bad at all!) we arived in Alicante to set up camp once again, at Camping Costa Blanca, not far from the sea. Shortly after arriving we headed down to the water for some dinner, finding a long strip of local cafes and restaurants along the water. We shared a pizza at a little restaurant overlooking the the beach and watched the ocean go wild in the overcast weather ...
