The plan was to stay in Satungo and catch the train to Valencia which was 25km further south. On arrival in Satungo we were not overly impressed but we sought out the tourist information in order to find a place to park. The tourist office told us there was nowhere to park except in a camp ground 7km away which we then would not be able to get transport to Valencia. So we headed onwards through Valencia and to the south where we thought we could find a place to ...

6 weeks left here in benidorm before a flying visit back home to see everyone then im off to Thailand, Oz and Fiji for a few months travelling.

Currently loving the 'dorm, its probably the most random and bizzare place to rep and although its a bit quiet at the moment having amazing nights out with the rest of the fantastic team we have here, still time to come and see me!!!

... crazy stairs. We where welcomed by a bunch of happy travelers that also found their way to El Potro, an autonomous community based on self organization.

... 15 minutes to take pictures by the small river which had very little water in it and a lot of garbage. We got back on the bus and drove to Aleta to see an old church and that was locked soooo we went back to the ship and went to dinner but first I talked on the phone and managed to lose my glasses. Didn't realize it however until after dinner and then ...

... before reaching the top (cursed our flip-flops) and opted for an easier path that led to the furthest point out to sea. The views were fantastic, and Sophie managed to pet a seagull despite my warnings that it might have the swine flu.

The pictures later are from our visit to two little pueblos just outside of Alicante; Guadalest and Altea. In the little town of Guadalest is a beautiful castle ...

... necklace made out of onion for Annabelle!~! And a pair of mono hammered metal copper earrings!~! It's hard here because spending Euros doesn't seem like you're spending real money--but it is!
We meet our host families in two days and that's when it all really begins. I can't wait! I'm just hoping and praying that I live close to the City Centre. And that mi familia es muy amable.

Well after loosing the coke bottle in the sand this certainly wasnt an option for me. However, it may be an idea to buy Alex a shovel.

... made more funny when Miguel came down and she realised it was him. Awesome we are actually meeting people again. Once we got everyone together (including a few more recruits bringing the total to 11) we headed toward the town centre to find some decent clubs. Obviously during the two hour walk there many funny things happened including when a hooker tried to pull Alex2's pants down ...

I would wander into town (my hotel was a little outside), do some things, and watch football with whichever fans on nice day after nice day at an outside cafe. The problem is that started the beer drinking at 6:00 p.m. and the games don´t end until 11:00, when I would eat, and then go out to bars until 3:00 or 6:00 a.m. (the ...
