Sunny sunny Spain

Hola!!

I am in lovely, fun and sunny spain!

Yes, Italy was good fun and is nice. Our last day we checked out Pompeii, the village that was preserved from almost 3 thousand years ago after Mt Vesuvious erupted and encased it in ash etc. Was awesome!!!! Its actually really big (44 ha) and you can walk through the streets into the houses and shops, and theres still painting and artwork left over. Very cool.....

It was brought to my attention that I say amazing and awesome alot when describing all these places I see. But they really are!!!!! There is no other way to describe them.....so im sorry but you´ll have to bear with me over the next month or so.

We got to spain on wednesday and flew into madrid (scary flight, my seat wasnt attatched to the rest of my chair...so when everyone clapped when we got there...well i was relieved). Next day I went and checked out Toledo which is this cool little medieval town about an hr away. Very hot!!!!!

We hopped on a train to Granada yesterday and just had a look around the town centre. Had a nice bbq at our hostel last night, and then got up at 5am this morning to go and line up and visit the Allumbrah. The Allumbrah is this amazing ancient arabian palace from when the arabs occupied spain (or at least part of it). It really was amazing! One of the greatest things Ive seen!

So we´re of to Almeria and Allicante for a few days for the beach and then to La Tomatina the tomato throwing festival! Stay posted....
