Estoy en Espana.... that's right, I'm in Spain! It is hot, seriously... I'm melting. However I cannot complain seeing as I love the fact the United Kingdom has lots of rain... Ha. As you know I'm staying with Tracy and Ro, they're so hospitable and Tracy's apartment is awesome, nothing as I aspected it to be, I hope I find somewhere just as nice.
The journey... well... it was easy enough to get through Liverpool airport and the trains and the bus, but it was looong. My feet killed. And still do. It was late when I arrived in Alicante and I met Ro and Tracy and then we went for Tapas. Yum. I had an aubergine for the first time, was very nice. I can safely say I'm not missing home and cannot wait to get here in September.
Here are some pictures of my time here thus far! To your left you are seeing the view from Tracy's apartment and the sun as you can see is shining!
My host for the weekend there on the right Miss Tracy Donohoe of Cavan, Ireland. She was grand and as you can tell from this picture, very smiley! On the left is Miss Rozenn "Ro" Grainger, and what a babe she is, she was one of my peer guides in first year and just loves to have a good time. Both of them made my trip so good!!
Just some of the nice architecture of the town in Alicante. I say 'architecture' quite liberally here as you can see from the photo that there isn't much of it to be really seen at the moment, however I will show you some more once there... promise!
This was the promenade down to beach I went to, which I think is the main beach in Alicante. Anyway, alongside this promenade were some marvellous market stalls which sold some awesome little bits and bobs, I got a Shot Glass of course so the collection! Picture of that coming soon...
La Castilla de Santa Barbara, is an old castle that dominates the landscape of Alicante. I mainly saw it from this angle on the beach, however I did see it again when I went out to a Bar at night in the Barrios of Alicante and saw it lit up and looking fantastic. I'm hoping that I will get a chance to see properly once I've moved to Alicante and that I can take some more in depth pictures for you all!
More coming soon readers... if anyone is there???
