Hotel Eurotennis Villajoyosa

The plan was to stay in Satungo and catch the train to Valencia which was 25km further south. On arrival in Satungo we were not overly impressed but we sought out the tourist information in order to find a place to park. The tourist office told us there was nowhere to park except in a camp ground 7km away which we then would not be able to get transport to Valencia. So we headed onwards through Valencia and to the south where we thought we could find a place to ...

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 ...

... 15 minutes to take pictures by the small river which had very little water in it and a lot of garbage. We got back on the bus and drove to Aleta to see an old church and that was locked soooo we went back to the ship and went to dinner but first I talked on the phone and managed to lose my glasses.

... to jagged rocks, slippery mud and cliff faces accented with a million seagulls (and their droppings...). We persevered up the majority of the trail until we got to a point where we were using ropes for balance as we went up steeper rock faces. Now I wouldn't call this a challenging hike, perhaps a bit technical but in flip flops it was HELL! We finally called it ...

The pictures later are from our visit to two little pueblos just outside of Alicante; Guadalest and Altea. In the little town of Guadalest is a beautiful castle ...

... The museums and sights were too crowded for me again so I decided to just wander the streets. I like Barcelona...it's cool. Live there some time? Maybe. I hooked up with Vanessa, a seniorita I worked with back in Dublin. She gave me a bit of a tour of the city and took me out on the town. We ventured down to the beach while it was dark to see if we could spot some of the street scum who creep around on the sand robbing drunk people. She ...

... become in order to even get started, but at the heart of my desire to travel and see more is the knowledge that through my travels I could learn and develop as a person, and when only 44 at a time when he was just beginning to enjoy the spoils of his working life, my father died.
