Denia, Spain

Hey everyone...we are now at home, but as promised we are going to finish blogging about the rest of our trip as well as posting videos and images. Here are a few images of Denia from our room. The first image is a view in front of our room. The second image is of Pete...looking like a lobster. The first day at the beach he got so burnt...at the end of the night he was neon pink, the image doesn't do it justice. The third image was of the washing machine in our room...WE WERE SO SO EXCITED! You have no idea how much you forget about the little things once you are away...incase we never mentioned it before we were washing our clothes in the sink at our hotels rooms and were hanging them to dry. Twice, once in Florence and once in Cinque Terre, we actually paid the money to wash and dry them at a laundry mat...which is still not the same as having your own! So, I made Pete take a picture with it! I think I washed like 8 loads a day...It was great! Then, the last image was from our balcony...all of the rooms overlooked the pool and restaurant. We never made it to the pool...but it was nice to look at :)

Journey to Denia, Spain

As we mentioned in our last blog we only stayed in Barcelona one night...we took an early morning train to Denia, Spain...and yes, we almost missed it again! We thought we had the metro route down pat, and we did...until we exited the metro station instead of taking the underground short cut to the train station and once you exit you have to pay to re enter, even if you don´t get on the metro. But..Pete, being the trouper that he is carried both of our bags and ran as fast as we could to the train station...unfortunately we had a map because we didn´t know our way around Barcelona at all! Got to the train station about 5 minutes before our train and being that there was a bombing in 2004 at a train station in Spain they have TIGHT security...it is like an airport...and this was the only train that checks your tickets before you get on...but we made it, somehow!!! Thank goodness we did because they cost about $100 Euros...even with our EuroPass! It wasn´t long until we figured out why they say Spain has the best trains! When we first got on the train we were offered headphones for the tv or radio, choice of orange juice, wine, or champagne and a snack of dried fruit and nuts...then they came through with a cart of about 10 different newspapers and magazines...unfortunately they were all in Spanish...but we got a magazine and looked at the pictures. Then we got a snack that had a sandwich, spinach roll, and cake with choice of drinks (including free alchol) and after the snack they come around and ask if you want coffee, tea, or mini alchol bottles (again all free)...then we got lunch! Basically the train was awesome...It sure made the 5 hour ride much better.

We then arrived in Alicante, Spain where we had to walk about 30 minutes to a tram station...which we then took 2 trains totalling about 3 hours. The ride was long, but we were able to see all of the gorgeous Spanish coast. And, yes...I´m sure you are all wondering...the beaches are topless...and some are nude! So needless to say, the train ride was interesting.

When we arrived in Denia we found our hotel...which was at a resort. Thank you mom for trading in your timeshare so we could stay here! We were able to stay at a wonderful resort for the price would have paid for 2 days anywhere else! Basically...if we would not have stayed in Denia we would have had to come home a week early...because let us tell you, Europe is EXPENSIVE!

We hate to do this again, but the internet cafe is closing so we have to get off, but we will continue posting when we get home. We leave for the airport at 3;00 this morning...See you when we get home. Hope you have enjoyed our blogs...we love you!
