Hotel Barrosa Palace Chiclana de la Frontera

... say that we didn't make the mistake of forgetting this rule and had to go fishing in the toilet! She took the girls upstairs to the terrace - where we would be sleeping in hammocks under the stars. It wasn't until the next morning when everyone woke up with mosquito bites all over that we realized why this seemingly tranquil accomodation was so cheap!
We left our stuff at the hostel and made our way down to the beach. I am happy to say that I ...

... 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!

... of the sweetest sherry called "Nectar" for 8 Euro. I really didn’t like their regular sherry though. They were pretty cool though. When celebrities or royalty come visit, they have them sign a barrel of Tio Pepe instead of signing a guestbook! And they have a family of mice that are sherry connoisseurs. One of the distillery ...

... 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.

... auf den Bus und erhielten auch am bus-bahnhof entweder keine oder falsche auskünfte. die höflichkeit wurde aber bestimmt nicht in dieser stadt erfunden und arbeitswut auch nicht (es gab am bus-terminal 2 schalter für tickets mit langen menschenschlangen. daneben gab es 3 (!) bediente schalter,welche aber ausschliesslich tickets nach rumänien anboten. Jeder der an diesem schalter kurz etwas fragen wollte (z.b. wo das WC ist), wurde rüde ...

... up as bees, butterflies, doctors and other things. I thought I might have drunk too much, but my friends noticed that too. We tried to overhear some conversations to find out what was going on, but it was hard because of the noise of the ocean. Little did we know that Cadiz was about to transform that night into a giant stage for a festival of I-don't-know-and-I-don't-want-to-know-w hat, with people dressing up, dancing, drinking, smoking and making out in ...

... danku! Toen we gedaan hadden om 18u wast zonsondergang aan playa caleta, dus zijn we blijven wachten tot ze onder was en ondertussen fotokes getrokke :-) De toerist in onszelf kwam weer boven, ale ja ik denk dak nog gene second GEEN toerist ben geweest hiere, maar da hadde wss al door aan de hoeveelheid foto's dak hier wekelijks trek. Een goor nieuwtje: int school hangen er in de toiletten papieren dat ge geen toiletpapier int wc moogt gooien. Huh? What the hell? Blijkt dat de ...

... in het nieuwe gedeelte, hoewel er snachts altijd kuiswagens aant werk zijn bij ons en het toch geregeld fris ruikt. We hoorden ook van andere studenten die begin sept nr hier kwamen om een woonplaats te zoeken, dat er dus heel veel kamers zijn in het oude gedeelte ZONDER RAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!! En er zijn er dus die in zo'n kamer zitten, my god, wie doet da nu en der nog geld voor geven ook, de zotten!!!!! Gisterenavond liepen we zo over het straat en het grappige is dat mensen hier ...

... to (except for Burma where we only had 12 hours of electricity) Before I get into the nitty gritty, let me set the stage for you, the kind reader. On our flight from Sevilla to Barca, maybe half of the plane was coming just for the game. Ronaldinho, Barcelona's star player, was on the cover of almost every magazine not just in Spain, but in most of Europe as well. Villarreal, a good, but not great team, was coming to town and it was up to Ronaldinho who, as of then had been ...

... the hostel and they came and picked me up because they are 2km out of town. Upon arrival at the hostel I walked into the bar and to the 'reception' desk without realising that I was standing in front of the projector which was showing the football... boy did I get yelled at! I moved PDQ. Everyone in the bar fits into the surfer category, even though there is no surfing per se in Tarifa. There is, however, winds coming off the headlands and ...
