Hola Granada

My day started at 5pm with the alarm, then a wake up call from the hotel reception. Last night I tested out the alarm clock to make sure it was working, then promptly forgot if I needed to have the switch up or down to make it ring, so I had to do the test again. I put it down to travel weariness lol!
I was outside waiting for the shuttle at 5.50am, and boarded the flight at 8am. Had a very quick (relative to my last flights)trip here, then caught a bus into town. Another girl got off at the same stop and together we managed to find the hotel. There were a few anxious moments when we arrived and saw a sign on the door saying
"Cerado para los renovaciones". Just as well Sylvia (from Bulgaria but used to live in Barcelona)had a phone, so she called the number I had and it was only that we were at the side door, not the front entrance which is one another road!! Phew, was a little worried.
So, the weather here is lovely - 25degrees, and the hotel is great. I have a nice view of the mountains, plus some city buildings. Some of the rooms look out onto brick walls so I am lucky.
Tonight we have a meeting at 7pm, then dinner. tomorrow we meet outside at 8.15 to walk to the Language School. It is about 40 mins walk - across the other side of town.
Bueno, es hora para el almuerzo.

Hasta pronto

  1. Again the weather, lol. We are having storms with torrential rain, thunder and lightening which is about right for the school holidays at this time of the year. This year I am not camping but working - a lot. :):)

  2. I bet it's a pretty exciting place to be at the moment with Spain having just won the World Cup. Is there a fiesta atmosphere in Granada?

  3. Lynn: I wouldn't want to be camping in those conditions so you might as well earn some money instead.
    Kay: Oh yes, read my next blog
