Hacienda Real Los Olivos Lorca

... mountains...I have to say, Spain is very mountainous. The route through the mountains has some lovely views but some of the roads are a bit scary with very narrow roads, steep drops off the sides and a couple of very steep and sharp hair-pin bends that are not easy to negotiate in the camper van, especially with no power steering.

After visiting the old town which is not very spectacular, we went down to the Port.
The ...

... I would have to cycle 70 miles the next day. I am not going to lie, I was scared.

Quote of the day from Alex: "its illegal to wear clothes on a nuddist beach".

Also, a bit of advice, nuddist beaches are full af pretty mental people. Generally though, people who are just walking around thinking "hey, look how much I dont care, whatever man, its natural". So, I´m lying there thinking "who cares how much you care","what you are is mental". We stayed just ...

... seen his face, there was no emotion, there was only shock. Alex was almost sick after taking a look. I suppose, on the plus side, maggots are high in protein and we had been doing alot of cycling. Swings and roundabouts.

When we finally arrived at Tracy´s we where greeted with a crate of beer. Perfect. After we were a little drunk we went on a mission for an internet cafe. The mission ...

... cycling yet. We were supposed to nail 100 miles to make it to Tracy's but after a full day of effort we only managed 75. Anyway, during this epic uphill struggle we encountered a petrol station in the middle of no where. Here they had a hose pipe where we could riskily fill our water bottles. It was at this point i decided to add the quote of the day section.

Whilst Alex was ...

... The prices are very reasonable. The most fantastic village was Mojacar. It is a white village up in the mountains and winds down into the sea. Each town has its own square and on weekends they have activities going on all the time. Please bring your own sun blocker. Even though in Spain it is labeled SP 30 it doesnt do anything and we ended up with sunburns. All in all it was worth it and we saw the Spain ...

... and order Churrioes which they found hard to understand what we were ordering cuz its pronounced differnt than how it is spelt.

Later that evening we cooked some we wedges on the BBQ then we had those which sausage and curry sauce!

Then we went to a spanish bar which was quite exspensive but it was all locals except for 2 other english people.

... go to the puerto de mazzron for a few drinks. There was a land train which went from down by the beach by Bolnuevo beach! We waited for the train and waved it down however the driver shook his head and carried on driving we were waiting at the wrong spot :-(.

We decided to call a taxi and went in Monroes a english run bar by the beach. Our taxi driver picked us up and drove us ...

I woke up at 6am and i could see the light in the distance over the mountain. I could also hear crickets really loud which didnt really bother me and in the distance on a saturday night there was an all night rave which i could hear the music booming and quite clear but it didnt seem to wake me up in the night that went on till 8am.

Sunday was the day they have the market so we set of at 8am towards the port to go to the market when we got there most of it was set up but some stores ...

... my way back to Molina, and made Fred drive me back again 10 hours later. Poor guy....I finally made it to Barcelona at 1:00am yesterday. I am staying here with Sam Pack , some of you may remember her from high school. We haven´t seen each other in 5 years!! She is very kind to let me come and visit and I am LOVING Barcelona so far. I will write another entry before I leave Barcelona to fill you in on all the fun I´m having here ;) !!

... at the U of I (although NOT affiliated with the school, itself) was one of only 3-4 papers IN THE COUNTRY to publish the picture of Mohammad among other offensive drawings. Who do we have leading this paper!!!? The editor was fired, thankfully. I cannot believe that is the paper representing our school. I am personally offended that they printed them to tell the truth. In my Muslim class, we learned that Mohammad is NEVER supposed to take human form (let ...
