Hotel Montepiedra Orihuela

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!!!

... our journey! During our stay in El Potro we were interviewed about our bike trip by Jordi for the pirate radio RadioAktiva (in Spanish/Castellano..) The broadcast with Joao and me on radioAktiva was on 24 nov 12:00 and repetition on saturday 28 nov 14:30 on Entropia program stream: http://giss.tv:8000/radioaktiva.ogg.m3u

... and walked all around trying to find them to no avail. No one at the reception desk was very friendly and when I asked about the three different times printed about our arrival in Barcelona one girl yelled at me that I was wrong. That was the end of my happy vacation. Went back to the room and packed and Rachel went to the disco and we got 4 hours of sleep.

... before reaching the top (cursed our flip-flops) and opted for an easier path that led to the furthest point out to sea. The views were fantastic, and Sophie managed to pet a seagull despite my warnings that it might have the swine flu.

... we went to see and in Altea there was a beautiful rocky beach where Cristina and I had a really good heart to heart about our lives. Hehe, so corny but it was really good. I <3 her mucho!~! I love good listeners since I'm such a big talker, tehe, but I love talkers too, which thank goodness both Elizabeth and Cristina are!~!
And hollaback at that anchor!~! DG love!~! o--+--)

... I found some really cool things and the best part is that aside from meeting these terrible gringos, I am loving loving loving Alicante!~! I am more relaxed here and I'm more peaceful. Which is something I'm sure anyone who knows me for more than a day is sure to find cra cra! I am actually happy and not angry all the time and I feel at home and safe...smile...
I even got a really beautiful mother of pearl bracelet and ...

... soon realised and she absolutely started freaking out at us. But fortunately this was short lived because about 30 mentally disabled guests (who were in a group) walked in. She obviously started slicing cheese and ham with super human speed. But there was nothing she could do when this unfortunate group of people started getting really upset when they found little food left for them. I know I should be ashamed ...

... with: "What nationality are you?" I stared at him blankly and replied "British", I joked, "this is the BRITISH consulate". He then wisely replied "no, no. Many people don´t realise this but Britain actually consists of England, Scottland, and Wales". At this point someone else sitting behind, him who we had previously spoke to, started to silently cry laughing. I replied "yeh, I know but....." He then interupted me and said "no, your not hearing me, the Island ...

... br>Other highlights of the night include a lonely spanish man with a moustache, when a ladyboy started to dance with Jessicas brother Tomas, Alex licked a mans roses, I sexually attacked a lion statue, and of course when we all shredded the dancefloor with our 'Jump style' techno dancing, similar to the action of a shocked chicken. We slept well after the sun rose for only a couple of hours.

First of all I can´t believe we actually survived the night. Whats more is that the lizards and cockroaches running around didnt go near me. Thats a good start.

Never see famous people in England , yet you cycle 1500 miles to a supermarket in the middle of Spain you find Tony Robbinson. Amazing. Then we ate big food ...
