Off for a while
**updated**
well, following Pig going travelling round Europe and JBG going off to America,
I'll be off to Italy for 5 days tomorrow and when I get back my Internet will be cut-off. I'll be able to get access on and off over the following week or so but then I'm off to Spain for 3 weeks. Back around the 18th July, my graduation is in Sheffield on the 21st and I have to be in Torquay for a wedding on the 22nd... All in all, barely any Internet (GD) access for over a month...
In Italy I'll be staying in Siena and hopefully spending time in Florence so if anyone who's been there would like to suggest things to see I'd be grateful
In Spain I'm going all over, hiring a car and going from Pamplona to Barcelona, then down the coast, then a week or so in Andalucia (the south) before finishing in Madrid. Again if anyone has places to recommend, things to see anywhere in spain, things to avoid, advice to give etc, I would be very grateful
And don't miss me too much.
Ste x

Re: Off for a while
But who will tell us about shagging Swedish women up the sides of a BMW whilst you are gone?

Re: Off for a while
Siena is an excellent choice! A very beautiful city.
Me and some friends rented a villa near Preggio in Umbria some years ago. That's up in the mountains/hills. You should have a trip up there,.

Ste is shagging down the Italian peninsular, much in the manner of Byron two centuries ago.

Re: Off for a while
If you get a chance, maybe you want to see Sevilla, and then visit Gibraltar?
Really worh a visit is Granada apparently, with its water-fountains-garden-stuff...
But be careful, around this time of the year, it gets DAMN hot that far south, especially in bigger cities, so that's a bit tiring...
Oh, and when you're hiring a car, be careful: It's a very poor area, there might be some dodgy people around. For example I've heard stories, that someone could puncture your tire, and then follow you. About half an hour later on the road, you'd get a flat tire. Some "apparently nice" person would stop and offer help, it'd get hotter during the day and you were angry and confused and stuff.
In the end you notice that somewhere along the line, your wallet got stolen.
It's this kind of distraction that people look for...
But still, ENJOY!!!!

Re: Off for a while
I'm having fun in Siena. It's very hot. Today I spent most of the day sleeping (not alone )
we spent a day in florence yesterday, it was nice but there were lots of people and the queues for the museums and the duomo were massive so we didn't go in. Saw some lovely views from the hills on both sides though.
Siena is a very cool little place, street parties in a different part of the town every night!
My tan is coming along pretty damn well too

Re: Off for a while
I was gonna write a big long story about my time in Italy... But I can't be bothered now and anyway I can't pull off long stories
So, after seeing loads of stuff, having an amazing time, i spent an evening in bed (and in the bath, and on the settee you get the picture) with the Italian girl I was staying with. There was an amusing language barrier incident when she said "come on me" and it was all very good
Then after all that, we were drinking wine and playing cards and she started asking me about my trip to Spain. Eventually she asked who I was going with and I hesitated before mumbling "my er... ex-girlfriend" Well, that didn't go down well and she got quite upset and spent the next 12 hours practically ignoring me until I got a train to Pisa yesterday morning So I ****ed that one up quite royally.
Pisa was really nice though, and now I'm back in Sheffield (amazingly my login for the uni computers still works!) and I'm packing all my things, joy.
I have a bad feeling I'm going to get to Spain and at some point my ex will ask about Italy and I will forget to lie and she'll get all upset and spend the rest of the time being annoyed and upset with me
Hopefully she won't ask, and I won't get drunk and accidentally say something about the girls I've slept with since she's been away, and it'll all be good and we'll get along great again.
sigh
Oh and I keep saying 'Si' 'Grazie' 'Scuzi' and 'Bene'. I think there was something in the water

Re: Off for a while
Babelfish is picking the "wrong" form of abbia there, which is the same for I have, you have and he/she/it has, but overall it does a pretty decent job with this sentence.

Who needs Babelfish when you can just use Opera's built in translate?

Re: Off for a while
Back in Nottingham now.
I forgot to mention how cheap the wine was in the supermarket over there.
I bought an 'expensive' bottle for 6 euro, and 2 average bottles for 1.80 euro. A cheap bottle was 40 cents!
i was amazed!

If I can't cure my Internet (GD) addiction while i'm out there then I may post a few things from somewhere.
I spent today reading guidebooks I'm quite excited to be honest
So anyway, goodbye x

I wish I could confirm, based on personal experience, that Ste has a big penis, but all I can say at this point is that the rumours about his infamous micropenis may very well be true.

Re: Off for a while
Culture - the Ste way
In his latest travel book, Ste tells us about the sights he has seen, the cuisine he has sampled, the people he has met, and how he has become more worldly and wise.
Just kidding! He just tells us how he ****ed some more foreign girls. And then "GDed it up", by doing something stupid with the opposite sex. In this case, telling a girl about the other woman!
£2.99 in all good bookstores!

Re: Off for a while
So far we've racked up over a thousand miles in a nice red Peugot 206. It hasn't been too hard adapting to driving on the other side of the road and Tess has done her fair share at the wheel too so we've been doing rather well!
Anyway, I arrived in Zaragoza last tuesday, only managed a small wander around the city as it was quite hot, most things were closed (siesta time, lazy spaniards!) and we had to drive to Pamplona almost immediately. A couple of nights spent in Pamplona where Tess showed me round where she's been staying for the past 5 months, and then helping her pack and tidy the flat...
This was followed by a long drive to Barcelona, stopping at an amazing castle in Aragon and a couple of unimpressive cities (Huesca and Lleida) on the way. Barcelona was a nightmare to drive through in the heat and traffic (and running low of petrol!) but once we'd found the Hostale and slept the next two days were spent exploring. I think we managed to see everything we wanted to (and more) in the 3 nights we spent there.
After Barca we got frustrated at the Catalan road system, roads merging, turning into toll roads, disappearing etc, but arrived at Tarragonna around lunchtime. We were both very impressed with this small city, lovely views of the beach, loads of Roman remains, a nice long stretch of shops in the new part, and a nice looking old part. After eating we headed down the coast and stopped to camp in a national park where we were eaten alive by mosquitos. Tess has enormous lumps all down her legs (quite funny really hehe) and I have some nasty little red blotches too. That's the only bad point so far I suppose, damn insects.
At the moment we're on the Costa Brava, camping by the beach in Altea which is the next town along from Benidorm but without anywhere near the amount of tourists. It's quite a nice little place actually! Since we got down here the temperature has dropped from an average in the mid-thirties to about the mid-twenties and it's all overcast as well, so the beach plans may have to be postponed until this afternoon!
The plan from here is to head towards Granada followed by stops in Cadiz, Seville, Cordoba and Toledo before finishing back in Madrid and heading home for my Graduation!
