Back to Spain!!!!

Granada Sevilla!!!!! 
After abruptly meeting v as she burst through a 10 bedroom dorm waking the sleeping hungover people we set off to find lunch/breakfast. We spent 2 days traveling from Barcelona to Madrid to catch a bus to Granada! The hysterical bus ride took 5 to 6 hours which involved us mining great 80s hits that were available to listen to on the bus in the backseats. Backseat bandits! When we arrived in Granada it was after midnight so we stumbled tiredly around the town up the mountain with backpacks on cursing the place Only to be welcomed by street music from hippies! When we finally found our hostel we were greeted by a tall lanky stunning barefooted man and a British shaggy looking character whom we spent the remainder of the night drinking and hanging out with. They informed us of their point system for their guest which basically went.. 1. You start on 10 points.. You gain points for helping them for example cooking then dinner, helping them clean, not waking them up before 9. You loose points by saying amazing which v lost 5 points in 5 minutes for doing. Generally pissing them off. We were long lost friends in Bo time! And it was the Perfect way to spend the night. Over the next couple of days there was a heat wave so we went about making picnics and exploring the town and all it's beauty. One of the days we took a bus to the beach and watched gorgeous curvy women swim topless and run along the beach.. So after a whole bottle of wine we swam around in our nickers! And it was well worth it! We bought drinks at a local bar.. My gin and tonic was as big as my head... V had to take us back after that. We never did get to see the nightlife cause we were either too heat stroked or stomach sick, but having said that staying in and hanging with the lovely hostel folk was far more entertaining. When we left they sad but i am sure we left on 20+ points. Sevilla was next. Stunning place with a quirky atmosphere. Everyone seemed to speak with the th and b instead of v sounds so cervesa turned into therbetha! Overlly gay lisp sounds! When it was v's birthday we ditched the flamingo night and ate and drank at a bar... My spanish isn't that perfect so instead of ordering 2 slices of pizzas I ordered 2 pizzas! They turned into our drunken treats later in the night! Sevilla was as stunning and beautiful as everyone says it is.. I adored it so much. After v left for primavera festival in Barcelona I explored the town alone and in the next couple of days joined back up with her, james, Jenna and will.
