It was Friday the 16th and Delphine and I had planned to go to the Montserrat. Montserrat is about 30-40min away from Barcelona by train. I went to sleep at 2+ on Thursday night after my night out with Marcus, so I was really zombified the next morning when Delphine woke me up at 8ish to get ready. We took some time washing up and eating breakfast ( Read more... )

Buenos dias de barcelona! it's friday today and a few of us from the hostel are gonna head up to the Montserrat. I came back late last night because I went to Las Ramblas to meet Marcus for dinner at 9ish. Marcus is staying at Kabul (leaving today, actually). I wanted to stay at Kabul as well because I've heard so much about it but it was fully ( Read more... )

Hola! arrived in Barcelona earlier this afternoon. Met a travbuddy friend, Delphine, from Hongkong. She's staying in the same hostel as me. We had dinner with Jason from Canada, who stays in our hostel as well, after which Delphine and I took the metro to the Sagrada Familia earlier in the night to check out the church. Then we took a 30 to 45 ( Read more... )

Valencia was quite boring. I'm glad I decided to take the later train from Granada and spent another day there because there was nothing much to do in Valencia. I arrived in Valencia at 5.30am in the morning. Livia and I walked to our hostels together until we had to go our separate ways (cos she stays in another hostel). It was cold and my bag was ( Read more... )

I woke up at 6am and met Austin at the lobby at 6.30am. We decided there and then that we wanted to buy the afternoon tickets because the both of us just wanted to buy the tickets and go back to sleep. Our journey up to the Alhambra by foot was harsh. The slope was very steep, we were sleepy and the weather was cold. We arrived at about 6.45am and ( Read more... )

 hI had planned to wake up at 8ish but at 6am, someone's alarm woke me up. They were probably getting ready to queue up at the Alhambra. I went back to sleep. At 9am, I met Sandra and Austin at the pantry downstairs for breakfast. We then took a bus to the bus station and bought a 2-way ticket to the Alpujarras. The journey took about 2.5 hours but ( Read more... )

My train from Sevilla arrived at the train station in Granada at about 2ish in the afternoon. The train station looked pretty run down, even the toilets were makeshift. I went to the information counter and asked for directions to the bus stop because I've been told by the hostel to take bus 3 or 33 to the Cathedral.

When I reached the Cathedral, I ( Read more... )

Venue: Train from Granada to Valencia
Time: 10.30pm

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 looking forward to Granada last ( Read more... )

hola de Granada ( Read more... )

Today's my last day as a student in Sevilla. I'm feeling a little sad to leave the place tomorrow because i've grown to really like this place. It's not so much the place because as much as it's full of culture and sights (lovely barrios and narrow streets), it's not my kinda place to live in. It's more of the people and how they treat each other.  ( Read more... )
