Hotel Peninsular Cartagena

... no choice we planned to cycle 5 miles down the motorway to get to the next town (no other option mum, blame the Spanish for poor project management and wasting money on statues of imaginary people)

Highlights:
We asked someone watering there garden for water and she took us into her house and gave us threee unopened botttles of mineral water.

we made lemonade from liberated lemons and water.

Lowlights:
The lemonade tasted like ****

... and order Churrioes which they found hard to understand what we were ordering cuz its pronounced differnt than how it is spelt.

Later that evening we cooked some we wedges on the BBQ then we had those which sausage and curry sauce!

Then we went to a spanish bar which was quite exspensive but it was all locals except for 2 other english people.

... spanish familes.

We went to a spanish bar and had a few drinks there and then we saw the road train which went back so we got onto it the lady came over for us to pay and started pointing at my eyes and speaking in spanish i think she was saying i had nice eyes lol!

We got the road train back to bolnuevo which played music and when u went past people everyone waved at you!

... 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 ...

It was a nice spanish ...

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.

... understand they have bureau de change's all over the UK so I went down and was really impressed with the service. Furthermore the exchange rate was fantastic and they were really friendly, offering a personal service which I liked.

Today we did a visit to the historic city of Cartagena. This small city has been an importent naval port all the way back from the Roman times until present time. It is still an operating naval base. We took a stroll to the top of a castle in the middle of the city. From here you have fantastic views all over town. You can see the remains from ...

Hmm... Looks like I am a couple of years behind on my blog. Have I been that busy?? I will try to do some catch up over the next couple of months (no promises though, if you still follow this thing), so look forward to some terribly boring blog entries with no relation to what actually happened at the time the event took place. I spent a couple of days with work colleagues at the La ...
