Disaster.

A very sad turn of events I'm afraid reader!

Last night when I returned from University, I discovered that my Laptop, my Camera and my USB stick had been stolen from my apartment in Alicante. My flatmates had also had there personal belongings stolen too.

As you can imagine guys, I'm distraught. I have the worse luck with Laptop's clearly, this being the second laptop problem that I've had this year.

Thankfully Bangor University Insurance have been grand, as well as helpful, and I'm arranging insurance matters as we speak.

In other news, I arrived in Barcelona this morning to begin crossing locations off my Visiting Checklist. I'm meeting up with una amiga from Britain, Rachel, she has yet to arrive though and I'm currently in the Hostel just chilling on their computer typing to you people.

Barcelona so far has been beautiful. I took the Aerobus from the, you guessed it, Airport, which took me along a really nice route through Barcelona and saw some great looking architecture. Unfortunately, I can't show you these, due to my loss of Camera :(, however I will try and get some photos taken for you on Rachel's camera when she arrives.

There is rather a lot of Catalan, of which I expected there to be seeing as I am in Catalonia... but there is more than I expected really. Many signs are in just Catalan and I'm feeling a bit apprehensive about speaking Spanish to the locals, seeing as I am in Catalonia and the aforementioned amount of Catalan. I am taking a Catalan module at Alicante but this doesn't start until 15th October.

Nothing much else to report on at the moment reader, so I will leave you for now and update you once I have returned to Alicante. ¡hasta luego todo el mundo!
