Posadas De España Cartagena

... 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 ...

... 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.

... spanish familes.

We went to a spanish bar and had a few drinks there and then we saw the road train which went back so we got onto it the lady came over for us to pay and started pointing at my eyes and speaking in spanish i think she was saying i had nice eyes lol!

We got the road train back to bolnuevo which played music and when u went past people everyone waved at you!

... 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.

... of Puerto De Mazzron the temperture of the sea was perfect although it worried me a bit seeing a jelly fish in the sea.

We arrived at a bar on the beach right on a the corner where an island was sticking out and decided to sit there and have a drink. I ordered a Cevasa which is spanish for beer he had bit trouble understanding because i didnt pronounce it properly but i got what i wanted eventually.

It was a nice spanish ...

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.

When it comes to planning a holiday I don't usually deal with all the travel details and money, etc but this year I had no choice as my wife's job left her with no time to run holiday 'errands'.

As I walked around town I saw various adverts for Travel Money exchange and was baffled by all the different info. As a man who likes the simple approach I gave up on that idea and asked my brother where he had gone for his. He recommended No1 Currency ...

... for families as all the rooms are family suites, next door the Punta Prima Prestige is the exclusive five star version. For the best Spa facilities on the island try the Hotel Audax in the pretty bay of Cala Caldana renowned for its sandy beach and safe bathing. The best five star hotel on the island is the La Quinta boutique hotel, small and very close to two sandy beaches and near to Ciudadella.

... Picturesque, clean and inviting, it made for a truly pleasant excursion off-ship. We didn't take any of the ship's shore excursions, instead opting to wander around the lovely town by ourselves. Since it was Sunday many of the shops were closed, but we still enjoyed walking through the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. We stopped for lunch at a little sidewalk cafe ...

... at sea as the boat tossed and rolled but better in here than out there. Woke to clear blue skies, still strong winds so we decided to explore the city for the morning as it was Zac's last day with us. Cartagena is a really pretty port and city, it's Spain's main naval base with a large harbour, nice parks with lots of monuments and anchors, you know the sort of thing... On the hill above the city are the ruins of the fort, roman ...
