17th of July
Marta and I leave Mostoles early in the morning to go to Madrid where I take the train to Barcelona.
Time to say goodbye again.
I’m starting to get used to it but really am hoping to see as many of you guys again!! My casa is your casa, so please come any time!

I arrive in Barcelona at 1pm where Guillem picks me up.
We go back to his families place where we spend the whole day lookin up places and hostels somewhere on the beach as I’ve seen most of Barcelona and after more then two weeks travelling in the south still havent been to the beach.
Everything seems to be either booked out or way too expensive until we find a place called Calella, only one hour away from Barcelona.
We are exhausted from all the searching (it took us about 9 hours!!) and have to get out of the house.
We take the moped to find a place to have dinner and end up at the same place as the first time. The food is still good and after eating meat every single day my stomach is happy to get some pasta.
We take a short walk and then drive back home to get some beauty sleep.

We manage to get up early but for some reason it takes us ages to get out of the house and to the train station. The train is delayed and even though it runs every ten minutes it is so packed with people that you are not able to move.
I keep saying it would only be a matter of time until the first person faints and only realise about five minutes later that it might be me.
Feeling sick and dizzy I somehow make it through this ride and am more than happy to finally get off.
We walk from the station to the hotel which is neither bad nor good and drop of our stuff.
We then take a walk through the town which turns out to be full of Germans. I could probably count the times I hear a Spanish person talking.
We have a nice time but to be honest I wouldn’t really recommend this place.
After a really bad dinner we take a walk on the beach which is just lovely. I’m very happy to finally spend some time on the seaside even though the sand on my bare feet for some reason makes me want to pee. Haha.
We decide not to hit the exciting nightlife of Calella and go to bed instead.

19th of July
We get up around 11am. There is not much to do in this place so that is exactly what we do.
We wander around, eat at McDonalds (at least you know what to expect there), buy some fruits and chocolate and finish the day in front of the TV. (MTV never fails!) – By the way, out of the 20 programmes only two are in Spanish.-
The first night it seems like no one was in the room next to ours but in the second one a couple moves in. And not just do they have really loud sex but the guy snores so loud that it is impossible for us to fall asleep. It feels like he is lying right next to me.
I don’t know if it is my hammering against the wall or something else but he finally stops.

20th of July
We have to check out at 10am, buy some water and hit the beach.
I decide I finally need to get tanned but feel so hot after half an hour that we need to get a parasol for 4€ underneath which I spend the rest of the day. Snow White stays snow white.
We by the way only rent the parasol and not the two deck chairs as they cost another 4€ each. 12€ for a couple of hours – what a rip-off!
After a great relaxing day at the beach we take the train back to Barcelona. This time we even get a seat.
Back at „home“ we get ourselves chinese food and end te day with my best friends Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross.
