Hotel Zenit Pamplona

... Saw for the first time the 'statues' on the ramblas, which is basically people dressed up in costume standing or sitting still like statues, its freaky. They dont move a muscle, and for a second you ask yourself if they really are. <br><br>On another note, ive encoraged a few of the americans to come out sat night. One of which plays golf, so we're gonna find a cheap 9 hole when ive got some cash. <br><br><br>

... pulling out of the train station the car in front of us slams on the brakes and our cabbie smashes the back of her car. The lady who was driving looks back at us pretty ****** off, and motions for us to pull over, our cabbie, who´s really annoyed, nods his assent and when the lady pulls over he takes off! I wasn´t complaining I wanted to get to Pamplona! <br> When I finally arrived in Pamplona it was like nothing I´d ever seen before. Everyone was ...

... a moment earlier<br>3: three men in hot pink leggings wave pink capes at the bull then run behind a little barrier where the bull can't reach them<br>4: a man enters the arena riding an armoured horse. The bull charges the horse, in some cases pushing it over, while the man on the horse stabs the bull with a long spear and the men in pink leggings try to distract it<br>5: horse man leaves, three more men enter arena with two short blue ...

... of a life in Christ until recently.  Before that there was just religion, but now there is relationship and profound meaning. So why travel and why pilgrimage? Society affects you more than you realise. It is only until you leave it and find yourself in a new and different environment that you understand how much it shapes and moulds you.  How much it influences your beliefs in terms of the way things should be and what is "normal". That is not to say that ...

... than I did and there it was. Real Duff beer!, just like on telly!. I'm not really the sort of person of gets excited about tv merchandise, but this was an exception, if I was a medieval Basque..well...lets not go there. Of course it's not an official product- a Mexican brewer just knew he'd sell more beer by calling it Duff and giving his labels the exact same colours and design. He was right. I ordered one. It was hardly a fantastic beer, but I ...

Ainaz´ New Blog: www.travelpod.com/members/ainaz Ola! I'm at a small coin-op internet terminal which doesn't have a USB connection, so unfortunately photos will have to wait until I get to a real internet cafe. Man, Spain is hot! France was generally quite cool, but on this side of the Pyranees everything changed. I broke camp in a light drizzle out of St. Jean Pied de Port in France Friday morning. I tried to wait out the rain but it didn't seem to want to clear up so I ...

... and/or unfinished buildings. However normal that may sound, it is though quite striking. In certain areas, both the ancient and mediterranean elements that provide Barcelona with all its charm are dominated by modern insertions and add-ons. The centre of the city has been kept quite intact. However, as you venture yourself more into the peripheral areas, you'll realize that you are stepping into a totally different town. And yes, it's true ...

... and the village itself really isn't that interesting - just a bunch of buildings now and not all that architecturally interesting. - The metro subway - clean, cheap, safe. Trains were also good and cheap - only 5 euros to take a quick day trip down to the beach town of Sitges. - Segway tour of the city (bcnglides.com ) - I've done a couple city segway tours and just love it. We had a great guide (Edgar?) and a fabulous time ...

... I had bought a BigMac meal with orange Fanta and potato wedges from the McDonald's in the train station. Though I claim to be immensely cultured I am indeed a big fraud. I often eat in McDonalds and often finish a BigMac meal with my face covered in all the different sauces on offer and in Spain there are numerous sauces to get on one's face. I am disgusting. When not eating I whiled away the hours playing the count the number of lights in the station game and the count the number ...

... y tener un trabajo estable, encontramos nuestro propio piso. Nos enamoramos de la rambla Poblenou, tiene una playa a menos de 2 minutos caminando. Las familias salen todos los fines de semana a caminar por la rambla para ir al mar o bien detenerse a tomar un café en la terraza (es decir, al aire libre). El barrio es muy tranquilo en el sentido del tipo de gente, puedes encontrar de todo sin tener que salir del barrio, hay restaurantes, cafés ...
