Leaving Spain as its starting to rain

Hey everyone!

I last wrote to you from Morocco and i guess a lot has happened since then which i will quickly run over.

It was all a bit of a hassle, as is the Morroccan way, to get out of town and I picked up a horrible sandwich on the way out of the country before boarding the ferry....

Morocco just had to give me one big salmonela kick in the arse on my way out! (well some sort of food poisoning). I really do wish i was such a pretty flower when it comes to internal bacteria warfare! So anyway, Aquaman I rebecame for the next few days. (on antibiotics again and doing strong!)

So we hit Tarifa (Spain) and wander about for a couple of hours. we missed the last bus to Seville that day and there wasnt a bed in the whole town. Saddened and tired we drowned ourselves in beer at the bar. On hearing our woes the bartender offered to let us leave our bags behind the bar at closing time and because he sleeps next to the door on the couch, we can knock and get them early. So we happily wandered down to the beach when the bar closed. Sleeping on the beach served to be both cold and once the beer wore off (i got a couple of hours sleep) impossible.

But it was VERY cheap! So the next morning we tiredly and grumpily boarded the bus to Seville. This was the first time james and i had to share a double bed this trip. but ill get to that later. So we wandered around that day! First Seeing the Palace which was very cool, before seeing the Biggest Gothic Cathedral in the world... i think....
Anyway it was pretty damn cool! Check out the photos here!

That night we chilled upstairs at the hostel and ate Paella! awesome! lots of beers and i was ready for bed at midnight. james stayed on. at 2am james woke me to go to bed. on realisation that we had an aircon he walked back to reception (a building about 5 mins walk away, cos we were in a townhouse not the main hostel) to get the remote. I fall back to sleep before i hear james calling me from below the balcony to throw down his wallet for a 20 euro deposit. So i get up and throw his wallet at him before passing out again. ONLY to be woken again as he swears his head off at them giving him the wrong remote. So he went back again and i fell asleep again. AGAIN he swears his head off with another wrong remote before falling down beside me. Finally i angrily drift off to sleep....

TO BE WOKEN BY MOTHER F@!#ING JACKHAMMERS BELOW OUR BALCONY!!! Literally cliche jackhammers at 7am. So lous and they shook the whole building!!!! My god i was so angry. The words james and I yelled as we tried to sleep for the next hour would have made a sailor blush! the C word featured above all! GRRRRRR

I will upload a photo soon of the jackhammering bastards so you can see just how close they were. If there hadnt been a cage on our balcony i could have elbow dropped down on them.... I wish Macho Man Randy Savage had been there.... he would have known what to do.... OOOOHHH YEAH!

So again we have had a tough nights sleep but that was slightly lessened as we spent pretty much the entire day at wither the internet cafe or on the hostel roof in the spa drinking beers. oh yes, they had a spa. but then it was time for an overnight bus to valencia on which i got a total of 2 hours sleep. oh you bastard. the only thing that kept me going was the positivity of the pop punk (also known as pussy punk) music from New Found Glory. So we roll into Valencia and the hostel that i booked (in my sleepless stupor) was actually booked for the NEXT night! needless to say, profanities were used...

So we wandered until we found a decent youth hostel and I collapsed in a heap in my bed. That night i made on excursion to the supermarket for dinner before hitting the hay again. ONLY TO BE WOKEN BY A F@#KERS MOBILE PHONE ALARM WHICH HE SNOOZED 6 TIMES!!! In a dorm room! what a.... insert C word....

Anger slowly subsided in the presence of the only holy grail the vatican recognise and by the time i got the to the greatest (but most expensive) aquarium i have ever seen I was pretty happy again!! Oh it was awesome. im uploading so many photos at the moment but i wasnt allowed to use flash and the combination of my lack of camera skills and my auto settings lack of dark photo skills left them lacking. Oh Beluga Whales are the Coolest! i flashed one, cos i couldnt get a good shot, as it surfaced and it could have been coincidence but he screamed!!! so lous and everyone had to cover theyre ears!! Oh and there were seahorses!! i love them. just awesome and huge. i think it was designed by the same guy who did our opera house but it could all be lies!

So that was awesome but then it was time to jump ship to Barcelona! Our bus got in pretty late and we wandered around for ages lookinf for a place to stay before 2 american chicks came out of nowhere to tell us there was room at theyre hostel. sweet. we dropped our bags grabbed some dinner and some beers before stumbling to bed at 4am.

The next day, mildly hung we were kicked out of that hostel and walked for 2 hours before finding a new one. Actually the much shitter twin of the one from Valencia. and more expensive! jerks...
So we grabbed lunch then showers and met back up with the girls to see Gaudi´s house of Bones. Im just going to say this now cos i could rant at you for decades, but Gaudi is awesome! So freaking good! The thought he went through and the designs are amazing. I could seriously just go nuts but ill hold... Awesome!

Check the photos once i upload them and you will understand!

Then we bought a watermelon and wine before hitting the park for homemade awesome sangria and chilling. Broken slightly by a broken bottle fight, but no one got stabbed. intense though! then a walk along the beach before again passing out at 4am. erg, i just want some sleep.

So the next day it was james and i again and we piss farted around all day. i used the net a heap and james slept and eventually we dragged ourselves to Gaudis Sagrada Familia before hitting his Park Guell! There was an escalator up this massive hill to the park! awesome! and the cathedral (sagrada familia) was amazing!!! again the ranting could commence but ill let the photos speak for themselves!!! he really was the bomb though!!

then it was supermarket and bed time for me. Today all we have acheived is to buy our tickets to train our way to genoa (Genova) in Italy and come here to the internet cafe to blog. so thats where i leave you i guess. hungry and tired of typing in Spain. And Leaving spain too! bitter sweet but excited for Italy. will get back to france later.

Miss you all lots!
