Husa Cartagonova Cartagena

Well, another day on the road. Sunday. Not a good day in Spain. They take there Jesus and stuff like that pretty serious over here. This probably explains the the 50 ft statue they built of him on top of a mountain. I mean, honestly, i dont want to say i could do things better, but, spend that money on finishing buildings or building roads that cyclists can use, or policing the beaches, anything but a 50 ft statue. Waste of money.

So, anyway, we arrived in ...

... 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.

... go to the puerto de mazzron for a few drinks. There was a land train which went from down by the beach by Bolnuevo beach! We waited for the train and waved it down however the driver shook his head and carried on driving we were waiting at the wrong spot :-(.

We decided to call a taxi and went in Monroes a english run bar by the beach. Our taxi driver picked us up and drove us ...

... selling these long things which looked like long thick chips. I wasnt that good at spanish to ask what they were so i just went a pointed saying una! She said Ingles and i said yes she gave me one portain( six sticks) and i put sugar on them as i saw other people doing

They were very nice it was like donut dough in a long stick which was fried, I later found out by my nan that they were called Churrioes.

Then we went back layed by the pool that night we had dinner at me nans.

... and grandad for dinner. It was a bit to early still very hot and much people didnt go out for dinner untill 10pm but went to a spanish restaurant and i had difficulty understanding the menu. We all ordered Pollo Y En Salada which is chicken and Salad.

It cam with flat potatoe and a really nice salad and the chicked was very tasty but a bit greasy but i really enjoyed it then we had a couple of drinks in the spanish bar .

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.

... about this and having been impressed with their travel money service I gave them a call. The info they provided was great and they broke it all down for me and explained how each process worked.

I'm happy to announce that we are now looking at a house in Brittany, France and feel completely secure entrusting our savings with No1 Currency.

I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for any type of currency transfer.

... city of Ciudadela in the west and the current capital built by the British, Mahon in the east. Its easy to see the attraction of a city at Mahon when you see the magnificent natural harbour, a favourite of Admiral Nelson's. We have five hotels in our Menorca programme, two are in the small resort of Punta Prima. The Club Punta Prima is an All Inclusive resort located directly on the sea, its ...

... artefacts from the theatre and from the period. A model of the original theatre is also on display. We returned to the ship at about 13:00 so that Emily could have an afternoon nap, that, as I recall, her parents enjoyed quite a great deal as well. We awoke for Catholic Mass at 17:00 and then went to dinner in the main dining room. The evening show was The ...

One day trip that the exchange group took all together was to Cartagena, the place where my madre was born and raised. We started the day with a climb up the tower that overlooks the port and the city itself. The tower was ridiculously high, but I was more amazed by the view of the Spanish ruins. In the midst of the city we could see the first church created in southern Spain and the remains of a Roman colosseum. Both stuck out among the other buildings, and both held my attention ...
