Hotel Habaneros Cartagena

The day as finally arrived to begin our 6 month break, away from the damp, wet climate of Mid Wales. The plan is to drive from here to Portsmouth to catch the Pride of Bilbao ferry bound for Bilbao, a journey that takes about 36 hours. The only part to worry about is the crossing across the ...

... of wine for 25 Euros. They ranged in price from 0.65 Euros to 5 Euros. I didn&#8217;t know what all them were, but I figured that even if I didn&#8217;t like one or two of the wines, for those prices, I could afford to find out!<br><br>On the way back to the boat, I passed a bunch of other passengers from the Noordam. Had a couple of people ask where my cabin was so they could join the party! And I gave directions to the supermarket to all who asked. I was ...

Well, another day on the road. Sunday. Not a good day in Spain. They take there Jesus and stuff like that pretty serious over here. This probably explains the the 50 ft statue they built of him on top of a mountain. I mean, honestly, i dont want to say i could do things better, but, spend that money on finishing buildings or building roads that cyclists can use, or policing the beaches, anything but a 50 ft statue. Waste of money. <br><br>So, anyway, we arrived in ...

... and order Churrioes which they found hard to understand what we were ordering cuz its pronounced differnt than how it is spelt.<br><br>Later that evening we cooked some we wedges on the BBQ then we had those which sausage and curry sauce!<br><br>Then we went to a spanish bar which was quite exspensive but it was all locals except for 2 other english people.<br><br><br><br>

I woke up at 6am and i could see the light in the distance over the mountain. I could also hear crickets really loud which didnt really bother me and in the distance on a saturday night there was an all night rave which i could hear the music booming and quite clear but it didnt seem to wake me up in the night that went on till 8am.<br><br>Sunday was the day they have the market so we set of at 8am towards the port to go to the market when we got there most of it was set up but some stores ...

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. <br><br> It was about an hours drive from Muricia San Javier airport to Bolnuevo and we arrived at bout 11:30 am the view from the villa was amazing could see the sea view! We didnt waste any time and went straight to the beach and walked a few miles in the ...

One may think that with the trouble we had in getting here, we weren't meant to be here. There was a fire on another train aheadd of us, and we were delayed by 2 hours. Then our train was having problems and we had to transfer to another train. All in all we arrived in Murcia at 12:45am, 4 hours late, but very excited to see Javier, Carmen and still waiting to see the girls who got up and went to school while we still slept.

... night for us after a wonderful family day together. Cartagena was the perfect start to our shore activities and set the mood for an enjoyable cruise. Tomorrow we would visit the Pillars of Hercules, indulge in some monkey business and experience a serious case of vertigo all while straddling the continents of Africa and Europe... yes, Gibraltar was our next destination.

... discovered that playing volleyball with a soccer ball is incredibly painful. Not to mention two people holding towels strung together, isn't exactly the best net. Nonetheless we had a wonderful time. My madre had packed me simple chorizo sandwiches (three just in case I got really hungry), and the warm mediterranean water was lovely. I didn't even mind that I had to change into my bathing suit in the woods near the road... although it was extremely awkward. The trip was well worth it.
