Hostal Torre de Guzman Conil de la Frontera

... spent strolling around the city, looking at some of the sights, like the Roman Ampitheater, and an exhibition that was being held in the central plaza of the city. <br> We all split up for lunch and Amanda, Lizzy, Shannon, and I found an expensive restaurant on the coast. Instead of expensive seafood, I opted for the ceaper option of bread. Don't worry though, I had ice cream later to make up for the lack of food I had consumed at lunch. On a ...

... 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!

Today was the second and last excursion we did through Holland America. Jacqui had wanted to see the Andalusian horse show, and we could also get in a sherry tasting with it! <br><br>First off was the tour of the Gonzales Byass winery. I'm not a big fan of the normal sherries, but I love the sweet sherries. And it was cheap. I got a ...

... the way we stopped in Olvera so Mike could get his photo of the village and church tower. We arrived to Nerja very late and couldn't plug in the address in our handy-dandy gps - so we had to call the owner in the UK to give us directions. it was kind of late by the time we got to the house (after midnight). ugh! this was a long, long day! But, we're excited to be at the beach for the next 7 days. Shae can't wait to get her feet wet in the mediterranean.<br>

... where we bought a few cans of the Cruzcampo beer and a 1.5 L bottle of Tinto de Verano - a type of cheap red wine with lemonade. We went to see the pier with the Castillo de San Sebastian, the Castillo de Santa Catalina, the cathedral, the old town and the beautiful Parque Genoves with waterfalls and parrots, and it was pretty much everything, so we went to the famous la Caleta beach and enjoyed ourselves there.<br><br>To my surprise, the beach was full of people ...

... berichten?! Spanien hat es also geschafft und Deutschland im Finale geschlagen. Für Tin und mich war das auf der einen Seite ein komisches Gefühl, im Land des Meisters eine EM zu sehen die im Finale gegen unser Heimatland spielte. Das spanische Spiel (Halbfinale) gegen Russland haben wir in einer spanischen Kneipe gesehen. Von der Stimmung muss man sich es ungefähr so vorstellen, wie bei uns in Deutschland plus etwas mehr Dezibel und Gegröhle. Ausgelassen, sehr ...

... Flipflops zu laufen (ich glaub ich schaff die Socken ab) 5. Mediterrane Küche und Tapas..toll ! In den letzten Tagen hatten Tin und ich so einige Gespräche, was Jobs anging. Fakt ist, dass viele Spanier zwar interessiert sind, aber selbst entweder momentan keinen brauchen, oder schon jemanden eingestellt haben. Das macht es vielleicht nicht ganz so einfach, aber Tin und ich bleiben dran. Wie manche wissen, bin ich ja eher ungeduldig, möchte, dass die Dinge sofort erledigt ...

we landed, safely off the ferry. feeling very ill, woozy, but happy to be on solid ground. it's hard to shake that sea sick feeling sometimes. we head to make some lunch and get energized. in front of the supermarket we're shocked to see our old tarifa pal -cesar- with his dogs canella and gordo. and oh no, a very baby lamb with a bow around it's neck. he's spare changing and not having very happy holidays. sad. things are going ...

... gewerkt. Ik vertelde een probleem te hebben aan de aandrijfas onder de boot. "Dat regelen we wel! Kom morgen nou maar eerst eens mee dan laat ik jullie de mooiste plekjes van de stad zien!" De volgende morgen staat zijn auto voor ons klaar en laat hij ons de hele Atlantische kust rond Tanger zien, evenals zijn huis met grote tuin, twee werklui en een zwembad. Een spraakwaterval valt over ons heen en vooral aanprijzingen over zijn bezittingen en de mooie dingen en ...

We caught a bus early the next morning to Algeciras, a busy port town specializing in ferries across to Morocco. We thought we were in like Flynn when we breezed off the bus and into the terminal, got tickets and went through passport control in time to catch the 9:30 ferry. Piece of cake!! But then when we got to the departure area, there were hundreds of people milling around and no signs to point us in the right ...
