Southern Spain

Here we are down south! We like it here. It's warm and sunny and the people speak a language we can almost decipher. The funny thing here is that I actually look like a local, until I open my mouth and nothing comes out. That's okay. We are able to figure out the essentials from decoding words and with the limited phrases we know like 'where is the bus station?' and 'two beers please'.

Anyway, we love it. Spain is beautiful, warm and cheap. We are staying in a hotel which I would even call nice by Canadian standards, for 30 euros a night. That's the same price as a 20 bed dorm in Amsterdam with a shared, tiny bathroom.

We flew into Alicante a few days ago and today we took a bus south to Almeria where we will stay two nights. After that we're not sure. We will head south until we get tired of beaches, then a few more stops in Spain before moving onto Italy and Greece! (providing we can get in and then out of Athens). Anyway, that's all for now, time for siesta.

Love Sarah
