Hotel Bujaruelo Huesca

... West. And trust me 4degrees is a **** load if you remember there are only 360degrees!!! So we ended up in the complete middle of nowhere but luckily after a short search we found a campsite that was open and grasped that we had just lost a day of travelling! At least we got an awesome sunset out of it! Unfortunately the next morning was pouring as we made our way to the campsite we were supposed to have been at already. I repeat…My bad ;-)!!

Un petit TP de deux jours dans les Pyrénées dans le cadre du cours de Fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Bon...les écosystèmes du sud de la France étaient un petit peu décevant, mais les paysages étaient vraiment beaux.

La plus haute altitude à laquelle on s'est rendu : 2200 m

... 2 we were at the gates of the national park and set off on our 4 hour hike up to Refugio Goriz, at the base of Monte Perdido. Described as the Grand Canyon of Europe it was a lovely walk, but we agreed that anything described as the XX of YY never quite is ...

This short two days work trip rafting the Gallego River, surely brought my memories back to my trip around South America in 2005. The sun is shining, the scenery is beautiful and while floating down the river watching big birds soaring around the Mallos de Riglos (spectacular rock formations popular with rock climbers) in the foothills of the Pyrenees, I get this well-known feeling ...

... steeper mountains, but none were as mean as Mont Ventoux". Should be fun.





Today was hot, very hot, and I climbed the biggest mountain yet - 1280m at the crossing point. In fact the days cycling seemed to consist of getting over that mountain. I knew I was fairly high up when most of the signs off the road I was on were to ski resorts and the view to my left was of snow covered peaks ...

Ordesa es el parque nacional de los Pirineos en su vertiente española. Su macizo principal es el Monte Perdido con 3.355m y sus valles mas destacados son los de Añisclo, Ordesa, Escuaín y Pineta. Durante estos días de la Semana Santa del 09 recorrimos los dos primeros valles, con la suerte de que durante la noche anterior a la ascensión por el valle de Ordesa, cayó una importante nevada , dejando un paisaje espectacular.

... story we had tonight was incredibly confusing so tomorrow I am going to talk to her before class. Socially-little groups and cliques are starting to form but we're still all friends, which I like. There are also some couples starting to pair off but mostly we're just struggling together. I think the excursion helped us get closer as a group because we stayed in a room with random people and got to know them a bit. I have lots of homework to do so I'm off!

... up the first slopes above the glen, but my confidence in the mountain had already crumbled. By the time the path came from out the shadow of low, broken cliffs parallel to the cascade a steady snow had begun to fall, validating our decision. By the time we approached the cabin, 250 metres below it turned from slush to rain. The cabins heavy metal door slammed shut as the heavens truly opened. Inside, the scent and smoke from a dying fire immediately struck my senses ...

... the bulls run during the festival of St Fermin in July. Luckily, Mer wont be there until August, when the temperature will be-oh-I'd say 110 or so. The food here is really pitiful. Tonight we finally found a restaurant with real food: La Mafia, great Italian food. Naturally, none of the staff spoke English, but a man came ...

... spanish people were around us all giving suggestions on where they thought the hotel was. They could not even agree among themselves. About 3 blocks down the street an older woman came running down the aisle yelling and pointing "Hotel Eslava, Hotel Eslava!". We got off at the next light and walked about a block to the hotel. An older gentleman was working the front desk, we told him our name, he gave us a key and when we ...
