Hotel Real de Bohoyo Avila

... with a big bucket of sangria while we waited for our room assignments. The place was gorgeous. The mountains in the background with little cute cabins for each group and a large pool in the middle. Our room (Deppy, Alex, Niko, and I) was in the new building where the restaurant and lobby was. It had a double bed and two single beds. The place was really nice. By the time we all got settled in it was 9pm and dinner time! The place offered us a three course meal with ...

... view of the village and the mountains beyond. We enjoyed exploring the local supermarkets and cooking for ourselves for a change. We attempted some walks but it took us three days to break the code of how to follow them. Undeterred, Adrian had us clambouring up mountains and through the bush when the marked path disappeared and we had grand adventures. The countryside is really beautiful with lots of wildflowers, cows with bells and the mountains always as a backdrop.

... me and tapped the side of his head indicating that he thought I was completely Loco! And, I have to say, he was right! I also have to say a word of thanks to all those drivers who somehow managed to avoid me - it cannot have been easy to steer 40 tonnes of articulated vehicle slalom-like between the traffic cones to give me sufficient room to pass. But I knew that before too long the oncoming line would pass and traffic would be released from behind me, so big headwind or not I pushed ...

... I ge to my old hostel with about an hour and a half to spare. I transfer the bags and walk over to the restaurant/Flamenco place right on time. It's kinda pricey but I've heard it's fantastic. Wow, no kidding, I manage to illegally tape some parts of the Flamenco. This is good stuff. After the Flamenco, I pack my box of things to send back home along with my pack. Tomorrow I'm off to Porto.

... to hold ones breath at the same time - before casually asking him if he knew where the showers were. I knew full where they were but I was hoping this would jog his memory in case he'd forgotten about this small element of personal hygiene.....for the last 8 days. I was most thrilled when my subtle psychology seemed to have worked and he disappeared to the bathroom for a long overdue scrubbing. I then left for dinner feeling as proud as punch that I had secured ...

Salamanca is a great university town with a walkable old section and a ton of students milling around everywhere. We got there early because we took an early train out of Madrid and spent the first hours walking around attempting to find our hidden hostel. This is becoming a major issue at every new city we get to, especially in Spain. The directions online that they send you just suck. For example, in Salamanca, they give you the bus stop to get off at and ...

We are in Salamanca Spain! It is a big university town and there is definitely the university atmosphere with lots of partying going on! Today I went look at the cathedral that is here, which I have actually seen about 7 years ago when I was here, and a wedding was taking place. It was really neat, they had about 8-10 kids playing guitar and singing during parts of the ceremony and in ...

A slowly accruing list of why spain rocks my long wooly and slightly smelly socks off 1) Public peeing (see previous post) 2) The activity that appears to be second in popularity only to smoking for males in my age group and up - seems to be balding. Talk about sweet. Now my ´distinguished´ hairline is merely one of my more succesful attempts to blend in. I´m going native. Someone asks me where I´m from, i point to my head, they embrace me and just assume i´m one of their iberian ...

... thoughts. As I walked along thinking about life, I stopped paying attention to my surroundings. All of a sudden though, something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. Standing right on the side of the walkway - about two meters away - a man in his mid-50s was relieving himself on a bush. The man was well dressed, and as I walked along I noticed that his two walking buddies were waiting just a few seconds down the path. Talk about a great place. Now ...
