Hotel Atenea Benidorm

... so I went back to Scooby while Kim and Val went on for another drink along the water. The lush pots stayed out again until 2am!

A lazy morning with breakfast on the promenade at a café which had the two old men puppets from the Muppets sitting holding the open sign! The sky was a deep blue and the sun was in full force so after breakfast we went and chilled out on the pebble beach just off the prom. The water was ...

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!!!

... crazy stairs. We where welcomed by a bunch of happy travelers that also found their way to El Potro, an autonomous community based on self organization.

At the moment only Jordi is permanently living here who keeps the project running. But the project is well known in the area so there's much local support and many ...

... and walked all around trying to find them to no avail. No one at the reception desk was very friendly and when I asked about the three different times printed about our arrival in Barcelona one girl yelled at me that I was wrong. That was the end of my happy vacation. Went back to the room and packed and Rachel went to the disco and we got 4 hours of sleep.

Benidorm is called the Manhattan of the Costa Blanca, not cause its super cool, but because of its numerous high rises. We didn't spent much time here, we drove 20 min to the next town called Calpe. We did a cool hike, up a huge rock peninsula, and recommended by the guide book we brought with us. Being experienced hikers and being completely ignorant as to what we ...

... we went to see and in Altea there was a beautiful rocky beach where Cristina and I had a really good heart to heart about our lives. Hehe, so corny but it was really good. I <3 her mucho!~! I love good listeners since I'm such a big talker, tehe, but I love talkers too, which thank goodness both Elizabeth and Cristina are!~!
And hollaback at that anchor!~! DG love!~! o--+--)

... I realize that my phobia of large horrid American groups of people are realized when we walk through el barrio and we get all these horrible stares for being Americano and obnoxious. I hate tourists in Chicago, of course I don't wanna be one in Spain! And I know how much hassle it is for not much thanks, (thanks Walgreens). And so I hate being ostentatious like that. We did get some free drinks and the food was on CIEE which ...

... with: "What nationality are you?" I stared at him blankly and replied "British", I joked, "this is the BRITISH consulate". He then wisely replied "no, no. Many people don´t realise this but Britain actually consists of England, Scottland, and Wales". At this point someone else sitting behind, him who we had previously spoke to, started to silently cry laughing. I replied "yeh, I know but....." He then interupted me and said "no, your not hearing me, the Island ...

... br>Other highlights of the night include a lonely spanish man with a moustache, when a ladyboy started to dance with Jessicas brother Tomas, Alex licked a mans roses, I sexually attacked a lion statue, and of course when we all shredded the dancefloor with our 'Jump style' techno dancing, similar to the action of a shocked chicken. We slept well after the sun rose for only a couple of hours.

... las dos playas, la cala, los edificios,etc. Al otro lado estaba el parque Terra Mitica y por detras casi no habia nada.
Despues de un rato en el mirador, nos fuimos abajo, decidimos volver al apartamento andando porque habiamos comido mucho en el restaurante. Fuimos casi todo el rato por la playa. Creo que habia unos 5 kilometros, pero ibamos viendo cosas y no se hizo muy pesado. Creo que tardamos 1 hora y media mas o menos.
