Have I ever mentioned how much I love you guys!

I´m in San sebastian right now waiting for my bus for Madrid. Pamplona was crazy, I´ll never forget the wonderful single serving boxed vino and the super freezing night in the park. Warning though... keep an eye on all your belongings! Even slings... Lol

James: keep me updated on your whereabouts. Hope we can do Barcelona! Or at least england in the end.

I´m so glad I got to meet everyone. I´m looking forward to vegas now... and meeting the other half of the group. You guys really do rock!

Hope everyone stayed safe and had fun!
Miss you already!

Ashley

ashley i also owe you a thank you for being so understanding with my randomness. it was meant to be that i ran into my friend....i didn´t even go looking for the guy. i left you guys and ran into him 5 seconds later on a side street in route to get warmer clothes. but anyway, you are awesome and i wish i could have gotten to know you better. have fun on your contiki tour and keep in touch.
love,
lauren

Somehow I blew it and never managed to meet up with the group. I suck. I didnt get to Pamplona until about 7 PM on the 7th. The first person I saw when i got of the train in Pamplona was a guy I went to Ohio University with so I walked around with him assuming that I already missed the T Punk meeting. After that everytime I checked my email it was about 1-2 hrs to late for the latest meeting point. I guess it just wasnt meant to be. Anyway, Ill still be in Europe for 7 weeks so maybe there will be another chance to meet some of you. Right now im in Barcelona and tryint to decide if im going to spend the next 5 weeks in the south spain and morocco OR greece, Czech, and Hungary. Let me know if you still want to try and meet up.
Andy

Well the boys have done the Bulls.. We did it on the day the Aussie chick got smashed.. Damn I shouldn´t have tripped her.. (on a serious note - if anyone knows her, pass on our "get well soon" she has done the aussies proud.)

We are now in Alicante and I have succesfully had stuff stolen on a flight from MAdrid to Alicante, and my wallet stolen in Alicante. But all is good and we are still kicking on.

We are going to be in Alicante until Wednesday14th and Then we are heading up to Barcelona for a few days (we got a room in a hotel till the 14th and a car hire until tomorrow) .... If anyone would like to catch up send us an email to eurobash04@iinet.net.au or got to the website www.eurobash04.com and send an email from there or leave us a message.

Sorry we did catch up with anyone in Pamplona but we hooked up with a couple of great Canadian Chicks and just went with they flow... That place is MAD !!!!

Party on dudes....

ashpunk - dude the pub crawl info can be found on my website. If you go to the spain link and then scroll down to the barcelona area you will find a link to it..

We are leaving alicante tomorrow and plan on doing the Barcelona pub crawl on Thursday Night.. So if your keep to hit the piss in Barcelona with a couple of Aussies let me know.

I had a huge night here in Alicante last night. I even managed to ride some girls skateboard down the road and jump the gutter - beer in hand. Not sure how I did it but even I was impressed.

BTW breif on the pub crawl - 23.24 USD every Tuesday, thursday and sat nights. 7 free drinks and opportunityies to win more...The meeting point is the Travel Bar at 9.30 pm.

The red lion - for those heading to Alicante is great... Walk up the main RD from the harbour --- Find KFC on the right and then take the next right..... Lots of great bars up there... If anyone wants more info... Just ask me.


I will be there tonight... I have a suprise in store for all.. I am on a dare.. You could say it is going to be a chuckle.

How are those bulls... I am glad I did it when I did... I can now say that I am going to retire from funning with the bulls... Officially UNDEFEATED !!!

Cheers for now all... and keep the messages coming..

james syd, where did you stay in alicante.....i have been searching for places online now and am coming up with nothing unless i want a room by myself since i´m traveling solo, which i don´t. i want a dorm type place. do these exist in alicante or anywhere along the coast, or might i be heading right to granada or malaga sooner than i thought.....i can only take being by myself all the time for so long.

thanks dude,
lauren

Lauren,

I am traveling with a friend and we are staying at the ETAP Hotel. It is only 39euro a night and you can have up to three people in the room. You catch the C6 bus from the airport - which is the alicante bus and it goes straight past the hotel. Then you can catch the same bus into the city for .75euro.

The last bus is about midnight and it only costs about 6euro for a taxi home.

Man the taxi drivers in Alicante are as mad as a cut snake. 120km/hr into town... All i can say is wear a seat belt - pray - and enjoy the ride.

Cheers for now... It is Midnight in Alicante and the fun is about to start...

Let me know if you need any other info.
I am leavineg for Barcelona tomorrow..... 44euro on the train..
