Day Twelve, I can hardly believe how fast this tour is going. However before it is done, I have another day to explore Seville. We started out the day by going to the Plaza de España, in Maria Luisa Park. It was built for the 1929 Exposición Ibero-Americana. The purpose of the Exposición Ibero-Americana was […]
Day Eleven – Granada to Seville, Spain
This was a busy, busy day. But it was a pretty good day. We left early to hop on the bus and drove about 3 hours to Gibraltar. Gibraltar is a British Territory on the southern end of Spain at the entrance of the Mediterranean. It has an area of 2.3 square miles (6.0 km2) […]
Day Ten – Granada, Spain
Today is a full day in Granada. We had the walking tour early first thing in the morning. Our walking guide was called Paco. He was an elderly gentleman in his late 60s I think. Be had a good sense of humour. He took us to the old corner of the city called the Albaicín on […]
Day Nine – Ibiza to Granada, Spain
Today is another travelling day. Yay. We got the late ferry and went to Denia. This ferry was the nicest ferry I have ever seen. It was like a mini cruise ship. With couches and fancy chairs, patio furniture, a pool, several bars, tvs and a kids area. It was not to shabby. We were […]
Day Eight – Ibiza, Spain
Day 8 Today is recovery day in Ibiza. Most of us slept in till noon. Getting home at 7 am would do that for you. I had a quick shower then climbed into bed. At 11 am the maid service woke me up to change the towels and clean the room. I couldn’t fall back […]

Day Five – Pampalon to Barcelona, Spain

Day Four – Bilbao to Pamplona, Spain
The four day of tour was an amazing day. I got up early and went for a run. After that we piled on the bus to head toward San Sebastián. San Sebastián is a town 20 minuets away from the France- Spain boarder. It is the holiday resort for the rich and famous. It has […]
Day Three – Madrid to Bilbao, Spain
The third day of tour took us out of Madrid where we started going north. We stopped in the adorable town of Segovia. This town is full of old world charm. Its most striking feature is a large roman aqueduct that dominated the landscape of the town. Another cool thing about this town is that […]
Day Two – Madrid, Spain
The second day on tour started out with a bang. At breakfast I opened my yoghurt and under the lid was a message that made me believe i had won free yoghurt for a year. I did not it was an invitation to entertain I win free yoghurt. After that we went for a bus […]
Day One – Madrid, Spain
This was day one of our contiki tour. I have never travelled alone so the day started off with a rocky start of me being extremely nervous. I am not even going to lie. But once I got onto the plane I was fine. I had a 7 hour flight to Amsterdam. On the flight […]
