... 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 ...

... enough to tick the box: `went to a nuddist beach´. . . I´m not mental . . and I do not care how much I care.

When we returned Tracy gave us some bad news about our cycling to come. Firstly, there was a heat wave due (last year it hit 57 degrees in land), there is a windy season, and we were about to cross the siera nevada (a massive mountain range). Apparently Spain is the second most mountainous country in Europe. This along side the fact that I had ...

... asking to use there computer in an estate agent (they politely refused) and buying a peach in a supermarket just so we could ask the cashier who ended up drawing us a map on the back of a receipt.

After an amazing meal was cooked for us we drank beers and exchanged travelling stories with Tracy (who had backbacked for 8 years). Then off to bed. . . . in an actual bed. normal = good

Waking up late and having a lovely breakfast of old biscuits sets you up perfectly for riding on the motorway. The thing about cycling on the motorway is everybody driving on it wants to beep you. Why? i ask. Are you truly concerned for our safety? if so dont panic us by f-in beeping next to us! We are already dealing with loads of glass on the hard shoulder, articulated trucks flying ...

... talent festival in Palomares and the people in all of these villages were very friendly! We ate at Dannys pizza in Palomares square and it was absolutely delicious. Actually everywhere we ate along the coast the food was terrific. When you're in Spain be sure to visit the coastal villages along Almeria.

Last night we went to a spanish beach bar which was right on the beach no English people were there and non of the bar staff spoke English which i really like! I like to see a country from the locals no touristy areas.

Today we went to the Puerto de Mazzron in the day we got a bus down which was half hour late! We went to a restaurant which we had previously been ...

Yesterday was spent mostley lazing about the pool went to an English owned retaurant for something to eat I order chicken and Chips and Josh had full english breakfast! It was 8 Euros for each meal and the meals were far to big for that heat. Because we had over stuffed ourself we then went and relaxed by the pool for the rest of the day.

On the evening we decided that we were going ...

... still setting up there stands.

We walked through and they sold everything you could think of clothes, electrical equipment, CDs, DVDs fruit and veg etc. The smell of cooked chicken which was being sold made me very hungary. We decided to walk through the fruit and veg section and there was lots of older spanish women with there granny trollies lol. It was very packed walking through the fruit and veg section and you had to push your way through.

We found a food stool which ...

We arrived at Murcia airport after quite a bumpy ride the turbalnce was very bad and people were scream but we survived :-D!! When we arrived it was already 35 degrees and only 1030am.

... seemed out of place. The other day, I saw the movie ¨Los dos lados de la cama¨ (The two sides of the bed). I went in thinking it may have sex in it...there´s a bed in the title. Oddly enough, there was no on-screen sex...only a TON of suggestive fade-ins and fade-outs. I saw one boob in the whole movie. There were two gay scenes: one of females kissing and one of males. There were two straight couples and on threesome. yes, it was a twisted movie...but it NEVER would ...
