Puerto De Ojen Ecohotel

... pictures from Morocco. I told her that I went to Spain to learn Spanish but instead I received my degree in Belly Dancing. How funny.

Tomorrow I will be going to my friend Maria (my Pachange intercambio partner's girlfriend) class at an institute to talk to her tourism class in English. That should be interesting. Then Saturday I'll be in Cordoba and Sunday studying for an exam on Monday. I hope I do good.

Hasta luego.

... girlfriend, Maria. Alex reminds me of my high school Spanish teacher. They got some mojitos at a bar but they did not like them so Alex went back in and bought a beer. Maria asked the bartender about the mojitos and why they taste different and the bartender told her that they mixed it with a different kind of soda because they didn’t have any more of the usual kind. So there we were standing in the street drinking and he was ...

... selling sea food and having bbqs on the beach. The weather is amazing cant believe that its still around the 25 degrees mark at this time of year.

We walked for a while and then worked our way back to the hotel where Ian went and lay by the pool for a little while reading his book while I had a little sleep. Its only a few days now until we come home and I am excited although I want to keep on travelling around. We got ready ...

... the ferry over to Algeciras it only took an hour and half and then we where in spain, I felt a huge weight lift as now we can relax a little. In morroco you are always on edge always watching and not trusting people that it makes you a little crazy. So we went and got our bus tickets and we waited in a little bus station cafe and had our first taste of Spanish food. Ian had some paella and I had some meatballs ...

i made it across the pond just fine, spent a few days in london with terry and his friends going out to dinner and beer tasting at a local london pub. my shift key went out on the keyboard so mostly everything will be typed in lower case; i do apologize for this.

terry and i made it from essex to london's gatwick airport by public transport, only took 1 taxi, 6 trains, and 1 bus to get us there but we made it. since i'm a bit loaded down with luggage and one piece ...

... well, I don´t think they really ride camels anymore in the city of Tangier anyway. After a couple more bus photos, it was back on the ferry to Spain.

All in all, here´s the verdict on Tangier. It is definitely a changing city, filled with construction of new hotels and lots of places trying to spruce up their looks. I wish we could have spent more time to actually see the real Morocco, instead of getting hustled around on the tour bus, but it was worth it none the less ...

... 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 ...

After breakfast and nice stroll on the beach, we head out to see the next city in the list which was Malaga. Malaga is very big compare to its size on the map :)
The trick is to head out to the old part of town to see the actions. Lots of architectures are dated back few years.
Cathedral as like the other places, is a must see in the old city. Small cobble stone alleys make it very nice and easy for walk.
The best ...

Oh God... I feel like Ive been freed from prison. Took the overnight train from Barcelona to Malaga, then the bus to the small city of Ojen where I was going to work on a raw organic foods farm for awhile (I thought maybe 2 weeks, or 3). I arrived in Ojen on Sunday and was picked up by Balta, the owner of the farm, a very funny little Spaniard. The city and farm were very beautiful, and I arrived in the middle of a big party and met alot of ...

... the windiest place we have ever been too. We asked asked a local and he said this time of year is the windiest. Seeing that it was my idea to come here I copped a bit of whinging from Jamie... Jaimies favourite sayings that day: This wind is making me depressed...I hate this wind...I think Im getting blown away...I hate you for making me come here...The sand is burning my eyes...auch...this sand is hurting my skin...there is sand ...
