hmmm.....Nice, shall we continue from there then.
After soaking up a rather large number of sun rays we left the beautiful city of Nice and headed to San Sebastion at the very northern tip of Spain about a 30 min train ride from the border to be exact! We stayed at a cute little hostel called Olgas met quite a few Canadians, the Canadians are coming out in full force, Im guessing since schooling is now all finished up! We soaked up a few more rays, found a dock WITH A SLIDE! Ate some Tapas wandered the old part of town and ate DELICIOUS gelato!
From San Sebastion we headed to Madrid we had a solid 36hrs in the capitol city, we shopped till we dropped, went on a very informative walking tour :) and enjoyed some rather tasty Pailla and then on to LISBON PORTUGAL!
Lisbon = the city of many hills.... THEY WEREN'T KIDDING! Everywhere you want to go seems to be uphill! We climbed to our hostel, climbed to a Castle and climbed to the grocery store! We went to a modern art musuem in Belem (a district in Lisbon) and ate "The Pastry of Belem"!!!! And then headed to Sintra a fairy tale land of castles beautiful gardens and magnificent trees!
From Lisbon we headed down to southern Portugal to Lagos another beach town (we do enjoy a good bit of ocean!) We found random tunnels along the coast and went swimming in the shockingly COLD ocean! On our second day we decided to try our hand at surfing....we got all decked out in the suits (CLASSY!) grabbed our boards (with the foam edging, we don't joke around) and hit the waves.... hit being the best adjective to describe this adventure :) now all kidding aside we both did stand up WHICH WAS SWEET! and the next day COULDN'T stand up but all in all it was a stellar day!
From Lagos we booked it to the bus stop, 6:30am a bit on the early side, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELSEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) (what more could you ask for on your 19th really!) So.... 3 buses and 14hrs later we arrived at the southern tip of Spain in Tarifa 30 minutes from Morocco WOWZA!!!! Sadly due to timing and passports we couldn't actually get on African soil but we could see the coast when we climbed a hill.... and well thats pretty much being there! In Tarifa we headed to the beautiful beach! wandered through the old town ate quite a high volume of Magnum icecreams! SO TASTY! And wowed the crowds with our cooking skills.
36 hrs later...... and Chel and I were ON THE ROAD AGAIN! to.... GRANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it is BEAUTIFUL! We visited the Alhambra which was GORGEOUS! baked in the hot hot sun, munched on SO many kebabs! Decided to show off our ridiculous India pants... people were jealous... and climbed a mountain to a man living in a cave selling delicious tea and watched the sunset!
Tonight we are heading to Barcelona OUR LAST CITY!, sadly they don't have internet so this will be the last post before we arrive on Canadian soil, ON CANADA DAY I might add :)
So much love from
Chelsea and Simone!
