Riu Flamingo Playa del Ingles

Our boat is moored in the marina at la Palmas (Fact for you Derek: Spains 7th biggest city). The city is pretty dirty and noisy but whilst Nic was here last week we hired a car for a few days and wild camped our way around the island. Again I am suprised at how beatuiful it is - really dramatic mountains and cliffs. Will definitely be back to explore some more and do the trek to the mythical GuiGui beach - a 2 hour climb over a ...

... our friend Rodney then got the 2pm bus to the airport was quite worried about the flight because in England they had really bad weather and 70mph winds all week however the weather clear by the time we flew back :-D
Our flight left 15 mins late however we arrive 15 minutes before schedule and England was very cold Bring on April for my year of Backpacking :-)

Today we decided to get a bus to Las Palmas, the first bus stop was the wrong one so had to walk to another bus stop!!



Got the bus and arrived at the station and realised we had got off a stop to early so had to walk about 2 miles to the next one but had a bit good exercise:-)..

... sauce for a main! It was really nice and a very local place
which i like a lot because i like to expirence what the locals do :-).

Then
we went to a few pubs one called fiction with men in just there
underwear and then sparkles showbar which had a drag show but was not
very good so went to nixonos which is a club and stayed there till 4am
but it was very exspensive and cost 19.50 euros for 3 drinks :-0.

... then went and draged josh out of bed and we walked up the beach 5 miles to Maspalomas, i was swimming in the sea most the way and fighting against the waves which were really big and strong and kept nearly knocking me over.
Early night tonight then it will be my birthday 2moro :-D hoping to go on some sort of boat trip in the next couple days..

... in Maspalomas and looked about the shops didnt
buy anything though all designer shops and cost bout 60 euros for a
t-shirt.. The temperture is 30 degrees and there is not a cloud in the
sky. Got a bus back to the hotel which was a good price. Then went to
reception and they changed us to the 6th floor with a sea view made so
much difffernce and am so happy now cuz josh has stop being grumpy
about it lol .

Adios

Life is good, even when ...

... in the club Pedro introduced himself to one of the girls. Turning on the charm Pedro got the lads invited back to a party in their appartment. Back at their room Pedro put on a show. Rave dancing, panties on his head (little did he know the girl who owned the panties was in bed suffering stomach cramps, as it was that time of the month), Pedro impressed. Or his manic moves at least made them ...

Durante esses dias, passeamos, fomos ás compras, praia e piscina, comemoooos (muito mais do que deviamos), mas foi tudo muito calmo e correu ás mil maravilhas. (Os meus pais gostam do David)

Tirando a minha irmã Mafalda lhe ter dado uma gastroentrite, foi tudo optimo.. Só faltou o Luís para a Familia estar completa. A companhia da Mónica tambem é sempre muito divertida.

... 17 anos, sair com os amigos todas as noites até ser de manhã, ficarmos todos juntos e todas as coisas que se fazem na viagem de finalistas.
Foi ai, que conheci o David. (Conheci, como quem diz, comecei a falar com ele. Porque já o conhecia há anos.)
 
Desde logo ficamos grandes amigos. Nessa semana até fizemos os dois um piercing... Basicamente nunca mais nos largámos. :D
