L'Azohia Cartagena

... cycling yet. We were supposed to nail 100 miles to make it to Tracy's but after a full day of effort we only managed 75. Anyway, during this epic uphill struggle we encountered a petrol station in the middle of no where. Here they had a hose pipe where we could riskily fill our water bottles. It was at this point i decided to add the quote of the day section.

Whilst Alex was ...

... this for charity man, stop judging us. Unfortunately, the bus route map didnt help. so, we just followed our compass south until we accidently took a back road to a near by village. Then after seeing non motor way signs to a town we needed to get to we celebrated by sleeping on the grass. After a short sleep we followed the signs, which eventually led us on to a motor way, AGAIN. Nightmare. right, so we just gave up and set up camp in a near by national park ...

Last night we went to a spanish beach bar which was right on the beach no English people were there and non of the bar staff spoke English which i really like! I like to see a country from the locals no touristy areas.

Today we went to the Puerto de Mazzron in the day we got a bus down which was half hour late! We went to a restaurant which we had previously been ...

... all the back roads which were terrible and really bad and bumpy. We arrived on the port and went to a pub which was run by an English women, stayed there for one drink and then went for a walk there was a spanish punch and judy show (In spanish) we stood and watch that for ten minutes! It was strange because it was 11:15pm and there was spanish kids everywhere still up and it was packed ...

... still setting up there stands.

We walked through and they sold everything you could think of clothes, electrical equipment, CDs, DVDs fruit and veg etc. The smell of cooked chicken which was being sold made me very hungary. We decided to walk through the fruit and veg section and there was lots of older spanish women with there granny trollies lol. It was very packed walking through the fruit and veg section and you had to push your way through.

We found a food stool which ...

... all the locals seemed to be at this bar and no tourist except for me and Josh and this is exsacly what i wanted to go to the more spanish areas with the locals and not the tourist areas.

Then after a drink there i went for a swim in the sea and we walked back to the villa and swam in the swimming pool.

It was about 3pm and 39 degress now!! Then sat on the balcony read a book and walked down to the restaurant at 8pm to take my ...

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.

... Roman theatre, a collusium, and much more. We stroll back down and take a boat excursion out to the Mediterranean Sea. It's an hour and a half and gives us some needed sea breeze, because it is a hot day today!! We eat our lunch, which looked very scary but tasted very good!! And headed back to the beaches of La Manga for some more sun tanning!

... resort in the Murcia province of Spain. If you haven't heard of the place, it is kind of famous with British football stars on training camps and pre-season build up sessions. It usually ends up with a front page in the British tabloid press. "Collymore went bananas again at La Manga". None of that during our visit I'm afraid. A pirate party at the private beach was as hot as it got.
