Hotel Surf Mar Lloret de Mar

Day 3, 4<br><br>Day 3 I wasn't traveling at all, I was busy working, However on the forth day I managed to go to a town not far from Barcelona called Lloret de Mar. It is a new town located just near the seashore, with wonderful forests at the same time. There are a lot of hotels there for every type of traveler. <br><br ...

... not fighting the cars for space. There are lots of arts and craft vendors selling all types of items but nothing that is making me open up my wallet and surrender my euro's. To figure out the euro to dollar exchange rate just divide the price in half and add it to the price so EUR20 is really USD30 more or less. No wonder I&#8217;m not wanting to buy anything, imagine going to any store with a 50% increase sale!<br><br>I&#8217;m currently in a café&#8217 ...

... in the morning about teaching practice and methodology, then in the afternoon we have teaching practice, where we either teach or watch the other trainees teach. There are 6 trainees in total, some of whom are really cool, some of whom serve to affirm my normality. I´ve had two 30 minute sessions of teaching individually now. First one I was really nervous which showed a bit, second one went much better which was nice. Good to ...

At the Hotel Sidormes in Salt Kevin picked up a brochure on a large outlet shopping village situated north of Barcelona. As the wind had not abated in L'Escala, and in light of our previous success with the outlet shopping village in near Glastonbury we decided to head out to discover this village. It was about ¾ hour away, just off the main motorway, and looked very ...

... Just to give a very brief background, Catalunya is a region that is in northern Spain (Barcelona is very much a part of it) and southern France. There is political tension here as to whether Catalunya should be considered a part of Spain, and those sentiments are displayed throughout the city through tags and such. But there are others who think that Spain is beautiful as an integrated, diverse country, whole and complete in its long history. (I ...

Last day with our C8 MPV and so Sue plotted out a day on the Costa Brava coast. Her research was spot on and we ended up for breakfast at Tossa de Mar (albeit at 10am). Gorgeous beach and easy parking just beating the rush. By the time we left (after a long swim) beach was packed. Sandy even did as the locals and bared her ...

I take a bus to Tossa de Mar, a small beach resort on the way to France. It is along the Costa Brava where the hills meet the coast making for some dramatic landscape. My thought was to use a luggage check, explore the town. I have a reservation for a hostel in Girona for the evening so I have to catch the 5:00 bus. Well, apparently much of Western Europe lacks baggage lockers. I go to a hotel and they refuse to take it for the day (even for ...

Sleeping on the sand fully clothed was a new one for us and were forced to wake up by the sun rise. As the sun got higher in the sky we seemed to get more and more lazy until we just decided to stay another night. I´m 22 and still havent managed to learn the sun tan lotion lesson. As a result I now look like the inside of a water melon ...

... myself to sleep. The driving through the countryside at night reminded me of home ~ night drives home from Jindabyne to Queenbeyan after a ski weekend, or Cairns to Townsville at dusk. After arriving home, got changed quickly, and only went out with my camera and some coins. The mugging incident got me a bit skeptical about carrying more than I needed. We caught the train out to Les Corts metro station and followed the crowd to Nou Camp (FC ...
