I want to know what love is...
Just got back from a trip to Portugal and Spain...needed to get a bit more in before I start work....yep I got a job at MPG, starting in mid June. Its a Media Agency like I did in Sydney and I am working on Luxury fragrance and booze. Its a awesome location, in the West End, there is a roof terrace that over looks the city and there are about 150 peeps in the agency and a few good lookers to boot...
So Portugal was good, Lisbon is unreal and they defo were not kidding when they said it was hilly, Porto was a bit so so ,it is home of Nando's and Chicken, not much else, just heaps of old people but my hostel was more like a 5 star hotel, best 15 euros I ever spent.
Then flew over to Madrid, a plane ticket including tax was 9 euros, so that's cheaper and hours quicker than the train. I booked a hostel in the gay part of town...I went for a walk and thought to myself...hmmm there are lots of good looking men here and only men and rainbow flags...didn´t take me long after that to figure it out.
Then train to Valencia , which was awesome, stayed in a great hostel and walked all over town it was a good 30 degrees most of the time so hit the beach and the markets. Went out with some girls from the hostel and got boozed on Sangria.
Train to Zaragoza. What can I say, that is 24hours of my life I will never get back. What a dump, next!
Train to San Sebastian, I've heard great things about this place and it didn't disappoint, its possible my favorite place so far but I say that about everything now. Just a wicked beach town with heaps of bars and clubs and the people are great and there is awesome food and drinks galore.
Stayed in a unreal hostel and meet some great people, first night went out to a few bars and clubs then second night started with a few quite drinks then the owners took the whole hostel out dancing which went on till the wee hours. In the days just hung out at the beach, went for a hike up the Jesus hill and to the top of some other mountain which was a struggle with my filthy hangover but the views were worth it.
Then Bilboa to see the Guggenheim, I have seen 2 now, so 2 more to do and I am Guggenheimed out!
So Spain was great, I really like the place and I am slowly getting the language basics, there is still more I want to see, more south and the coast so going to start planning that trip soon.
I've caught up with a few more friends, and friends of friends, had a few random nights out. Including the 'Eurovison' song contest night, went and saw Chris Cornell at the Astoria.
Went down to Brighton to see my Aunt and had some friends of friends having a party down there so hung out for a weekend which was good, its so different to London and that pebble beach is just odd.
So next on the 'to do' list is find a place to live which will be interesting.
Also,the group emails are coming to an end,I am going to post things on my blog from know on as I think I will be sitting still for a while, well at a desk anyway.There is my back catalogue of travels on there as well and ill be bloggin about day to day stuff and my going on's in London.
Oh and the song title.....this song is following me every where, buskers in Lisbon were singing it, I heard it in Madrid , I heard it in Valencia, San Sebastian and about 7 times in London so far. Its a favorite but really, I do want to know, so if any one has the answer can you please show me.
Peace outxx
