I couldn't sleep much that night, actually for 2 consecutive nights, 'cause the man from the first bunk snored way too loud! :P haha.... Ahhh I am normally used to noises such as snores or airplanes flying so low that the windows start shaking.... but this man..... oh well! So, I started the day ve…

The days were starting to warm up now and my foot was starting to repair - so my classmate Dirk suggested we meet up in the Plaza Nueva for a walk.

(entry written in the train)I'm currently in the train to Valencia, leaving Granada with a heavy heart. I though it was bad enough leaving Sevilla but this feels somewhat worse because firstly, I had so much fun in Granada and secondly, I'm not looking forward to Valencia as much as I was lookin…

Yesterday had lasted a bit longer than planned since we had more than one glass of Licor 43 while discussing song lyrics until half past 1. Regardless of this we had some good sleep and arrived at breakfast at 9 AM reasonably well-rested. Since mom and dad wanted to see the big shopping mall Mark a…

today was a very lazy day of relaxing, doing laundry, catching up on email, and wandering through the city some more.  i spent a couple hours shopping in el corte ingles - word to travelers: it´s like a one stop shop!  it´s about 5 levels or so of clothing, toiletries, sporting goods, e…

Peter is a better juggler than Andrew. We wait for the bus to Granada as we pass the time, entertaining passengers. The journey will take us three full hours. By the time we arrive in the Granada bus station it is early evening. It isn't a long walk to the camping, where we set up our tents.…

Arriving in Granada we went straight for Alhambra. I had been there some years ago and I just loved the place - it is culture, history and beauty in one wonderful mix. The girls had not been there before so I was some kind of guide for them. It was actually quite funny that last time I was there …

We spent the bulk of today in the Alhambra. We had to take this tiny bus (all the buses were pretty small in Granada since the streets are so skinny... I always felt like we were going to run into a wall or squish someone against the side of one) up the hill to the entrance. We got off in th…

Alhambra in Granada and Cordoba's Mezquita are magnificent piece of Andalusian architecture. Superbly done with intricate details of craftmanship. We were overwhelmed by its beauty and history.

Next morning straight at 6am we decided to go to Alhambra. We couldn't miss it. We didn't know much about Spain by the time of the trip, but we surely knew Alhambra. I am not going to tell you much about it, everyone who is interested knows a bit or two. I will remember it quiet and cool early in t…

Hola! Today we visted the city of Granada.  Let me say Granada is a vibrant city with history, culture, and friendly people.  Our experience in Granada was the highlight of our stay in Spain and I would say this city identified more closely with our expectations of Spain than the co…

Visiting our friends Brett and Emily in Switzerland, plus a road trip through France and Spain.

On my last day in Granada I tried to walk and see as much as possible. Lol, ending up getting lost. Which is usually good unless its over 100 degrees outside. haha, didn't end up taking many pictures that day. Just tried to find shade.

Today was just a relaxing day.  I didn't wake until late, as usual, and then I walked to the train station which wasn't as far as I thought it would be.  When I came into town I had taken a cab since it was so late but then when I looked at the map a bit I realized that it was close enoug…

I am currently in Granada, Spain and just loving it!! The most beautiful country I have yet to see. I will write more about it and post some pictures as soon as I get home. So adios for now, lots of love & muchos besos, Cris
