Jun 2007

Well the travels have started again. I am now in Barcelona, got there yesterday afternoon. My hotel is right in the middle of everything. Weather is very hot. I have got the 2 day jump on & off tour bus araound the city. Going to the Nou Camp this afternoon & Gaudi´s Parc Guell. Went out on the town last night. Had authentic tapas, catalan meatballs, fried squid & grilled Octopus - was actually nice. Then walked around some of Las Ramblas went to some of the bars. Got propositioned by ladies of the night - of which I told them where to go. And does anyone know why some of the dodgy characters on the street keep calling me ´Charlie´? When they say want some Charlie? Want some what and my names not Charlie! (PS before anyone mails me I know what Charlie is!) Well back on the tour bus now to Camp Nou for Barcelona FC stadium. Hasta luego y adios!

Another week, another city. I am now in Espana. Yesterday not very interesting day, but relaxing on beach & deciding which place to eat in the evening. Will have to go to the main tourist resort to watch England crush Estonia (I wish!) on Wednesday. It is hot here & my Spanish is getting me by - so far! However, I do not start my real travelling until 24 Junio then off to Barcelona, then Pamplona for San Fermin or ´The Running of The Bulls´ (remember the start of City Slickers!). Then to Zaragoza, Madrid, Cordoba, Seville por flamenco. Enough of mi muy malo Espanol! Hasta luego y will update soon after I am done chilling in South Catalunia the real travels will begin in Spain after June 24th more updates to follow then!
