amazing

This weekend was amazing on so many levels. Kerrie is here which is awesome, she is our first guest! Friday night we went to a discoteca that was on a giant ship in the harbour that was a replica of the Spanish Armada ship. It was really cool especially when we snuck by the barriers to run upstairs to the top deck until the security guards made us get down ( they weren't really that mad). It is crazy how fast time goes, we got home at five am but it felt so much earlier!

Saturday we managed to get up by noon and decided to do a day trip to Nerja, a beautiful town I had been to before on the medditerranean. It is only about an hour bus ride away! On our way we stopped at " Dunkin Coffee" a really good Dunkin imitation, Spain pretty much disregards all copyright law. We tried to get ice coffee but since Spain is against it I got coffee and a cup of ice, Kerrie tried a donut and said it was not up to us standards.

We took the Bus and got to Nerja around 3 pm where it was still super hot! The water there is incredible, very green and clear. There is a place called the Balcon de Europa which looks out onto the ocean and is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. We decided to head down to the beach to have some of the most traditional Paella you can find, it is made on the beach on an open fire and was soo good. Since we then had a food coma we took a nap on the beach ( tough life). We were only planning to stay for the day but decided that we needed more time there. We by accident found the hostal I had stayed in before and booked a night, it was only 50 euros for 3 of us in a really nice room; the only downside was that all we had was what we were wearing but we decided being dirty was worth the view.

That night we went out and had a great time, we made lots of friends. Nerja is super populated by British people so we made friends with some kids working there and did not pay for a single drink all night.

We got up around ten and headed to the beach! The sun was so hot that we only stayed about 2 hours but it was beautiful. The water temperture was perfect and I had a great time until I got bit by a fish. I really did and it kinda hurt, I screamed and made a little scene on the beach super embarassing.

We headed back later in the afternoon, and despite the fact that we probably smelled a little we had a phenomenal time :)
