Princess Costa Del Sol Estepona

The adventure has begun! I met up with my new Canadian friends Katy, Dan and Sarah in London, Gatwick for 1 night at the Gatwick Belmont Guest House. The plan was to all shares a quad room but we were offered two doubles instead which worked out quite nice, we just shared a bathroom. All of us did the "getting to know strangers" celebratory beer… that turned into 6 or 7. J Some of us were hurting pretty badly in the morning for the flight but it ...

... I saw a bullfight my first week here and it really wasn't my cup of tea, but it was interesting to be where all the action takes place. I then proceeded to go exploring on my own, which I actually do quite frequently. I love people but I find I really enjoy some things better when I make my own experience not surrounded by what everyone else wants to do. I started by going down into the Ronda Gorge, which literally looks like a city built on a cliff. It is just ...

Je dévore le livre de Philippe Sauve. Cet énergumène a traversé la Sibérie en canoe, du lac Baïkal jusqu'à l'Arctique... Il parle souvent de ses peurs et ce n'est pas souvent que l'on trouve ça dans un livre d'aventurier... en général, l'aventurier lui-mème relate plus tout ce qu'il a accomplit que ce qu'il lui a filé la frousse!! et la peur est quelque chose d'universel, on peut s'y retrouver.. et puis cette fameuse peur qui ...

... of Gibraltar are normally located. They can also be seen in lesser numbers all along the top of the mountain. As we go out of the van, I stood on the side of the road next to several large boulders. Suddenly something jumped on my shoulder and was holding my head. It was a Barbary Ape that wanted to visit with the humans that had come up to his home. He sat there very gently and calmly as if this was just another perch for him to sit. I was immediately assailed with request to ...

... Mum napped, I checked email, sent photos of the hotel to Paul. Around 7:30pm, we drove into town for dinner. Found a parking space near a small pedestrian walkway. Many of the bars and cafes were open, but few people were out and about as it is so damn cold! Could easily imagine walking along this street on a balmy summer night - it was be ideal. Found a small pizza shop - just a few bar tables with high stools - but tasty pizza and lasagna. We chatted a bit ...

... low at parts (but being short we didn't have to duck) and about 8 feet wide with chambers dug out to both sides. Some of the chambers to the outside of the rock had windows where you could see out over the beach and the airport. The inner chambers included a magazine where they explained what precautions were taken in order not to blow up the tunnel. So, we made it the end and enjoyed our climb back. Another notable exhibit in the tunnel, by the way ...

Patrick, Des, Joe and I all headed out about an hour away to Gibraltar for a day trip, and we had a blast. After driving though customs (Gibraltar is a British Terrority), we all drove up a very steep hill to see the many sights on the rock. First stop were the Apes (sorry, for continously calling them Monkey's), and I was so excited to see them in the wild. They were ...

... once she tried to open it under her sweater, they knew exactly what she had, and were very eager to get at it, although they never actually touched her since she squealed louder than them. They were much more docile around their breeding sanctuary, where they are fed with all sorts of onions and lettuce and other non-candy goodies. We followed the directions for getting off the Rock back into town, only to come to a locked gate! We couldn't be bothered ...

M: 'The air-conditionings on..' D: 'Quick, close the window!' S: 'Why?' D: 'It makes the air-conditioning work overtime..' It's worked out well having made our last overnight in Estepona. Another glorious start today saw us dawdling along its lengthy promenade as the sun followed slowly behind us. We passed joggers, dog walkers, cyclists and people exercising on the beach. It was most ...

One day after class someone a friend asked me if I wanted to go to the rock of Gilbralter before we went to Marbella. I didn't really think about it, just said, see the rock, sure. As I travelel on the eight hour night bus to a southern port where we could walk to the rock, I thought to myself....why am I going all this way to ...
