Hey! Here I am finally putting this here, this photo heavy post about my day in Alicante. Mainly I drove to the beach and sat there and read, then went to a different beach and did the same thing. In between that, I drove up to >Castle of Santa Bárbara< for lunch and a look around. It was the perfect spot to get a 360 of the city. The day was of course another scorcher, blue skies all over, and sun sun sun, so I sat outside to have lunch from the cafe place up there. I had some pretty tasty pasta and a pepsi from a wine glass haha, ooo look at me I'm so fancy hahaha. After lunch I went walking around the caslte/ grounds. It was pretty cool up there, I think the view was the real winner tho.

What else...hmm, I walked around the markets and a bit of the town, and also went to another lookout, The Castillo de San Fernando, which is morely just left for people to graffiti, with a pretty sunny park on top. In the afternoon, I went out to the beach area by the airport, for half the reason of checking to make sure the airport was easy to find/get to. I ended up going for a walk down the beach there, and sitting and watching the sunset from a good spot parked up on the bank by the beach. This is kinda brief which is good for a change, but I guess the crazy number of photos makes up for it...Toodles!

The Simpsons Castle ahoy Hi! Oban haha Otto the watchful dog Just turdsing up the beach... Looking for prawns Success!  Hey. Next destination please! We left for Scotland at 11 for the long drive north, following signs that actually said ‘The North’, which I thought was quite funny.   We drove past Sherwood Forest, which was near Robin Hood airport. Go robin hood.   We did get a flat tire which took about an hour to find a place to replace the back two, and luckily it was that close, there was a lot of driving where there was nothing for ages. Driving past ruined castles was pretty cool, just hanging on the side of the motorway. It seemed to start raining as soon as we went over the border haha, YAY! I   do like a bit of cloudy background. Also on the way in and out of Glasgow, they had these big signs above the motorways, the ones that generally say ‘WORKS AHEAD’ and all that, and they were saying things like, ‘why not car share?...

If you remember I came to Tarragona one other time, >AT CHRISTMAS< , when I was driving down the coast on my Christmas holidays.  Well this time we managed to find the amphitheatre, which juts so happened to be about 4 minutes from where we were staying for the night. Handy. Checked out a few  more of the old Roman buildings and walls and decided to stop for a niceee iced coffee. You do iced coffee? Yeah? Cool, two of them thanks. And what ...

Intermission Last year Greer and I were going to stay in Riomaggiore which is the first of the 5 little villages of 'Cinque Terre'.
