Sorry for not updating my blog in such a long time already...hehehe
So, what's the story now? I just came back from Spain few days ago...I went for a week, started straight away after holiday (13 December to 20th December)...wow...really enjoyed the trip so much....especially when we travelled in such a big group and also with close friends...
7 gentlemen, 7 ladies...the members of this adventurous trip, with the help of one senior, named Akmal!!! He was such a good tourist guide and driver for us!!!
Members of the group: Akmal, Afiq, Kamal, Anuar, Firdaus, Syakir, Azri (BOYS)
Vee Vien, Shoba, Mei Ling, Wazzup, Mek, Zhi San, Sue (GIRLS)
Who was the driver? 3 guys.. (Akmal, Afiq and Anuar)...they were such a great drivers, but pity them..they could not have much sleep because had to drive for us days and nights...The journey was very tiring and adventurous! Superb! This trip had changed my perception on travelling...I didn't like travelling much beforehand...Now, I want it again..with the same group!!!
Now, I really missed our group members so much...There were 4 of them who were not from Warwick..Zhi San, Sue, Syakir (Nottingham) and Azri (Birmingham)...Hyhhhh....Felt really grateful to meet them......:)
How many countries we went? 4 altogether...Spain, Gibraltar, Andorra and France (Perpignan only, haven't seen the Eiffel Tower yet...) All those countries were really beautiful and we really had a good sightseeing on that....
Andorra, the country where we played snow and skiing...hahhaha...This was the first time I could see the proper snow and touched it...and the weather was extremely cold..until you couldn't feel anything on your hands and face....
For Gibraltar, we went for a rock tour...and went to the peak of the mountain...wow, we could see Spain and Morrocco from the place! Really beautiful!!! (Night scenery..and the wind was so strong!!!..huhu)
For France (Perpignan), I slept off in the car..hahhaha...because it was too cold at night!!! Actually I couldn't sleep at all...because I needed more blankets please!!!! huhuhuhu....
And lastly Spain, the first country we went, I really gained a lot of experiences from the country..really a lot...It was such a great memoir to be together when we faced problems...We ate breads, slept in the car (2 nights), found the hostels, and took photos!! Besides that, the biggest problem that we faced was COMMUNICATING WITH THE SPANISH PEOPLE!!!
Not many of the Spanish people knew English...That's why we had to learn a bit Spanish before we go for the trip...hahhaa...Now I know the feeling of being a second language learner...It's not that easy!!! Seriously!!!! Miss Spanish language now..huhu
And not forget also the sign boards in Spain were all in Spanish....Nonetheless, we got our Akmal and the other drivers!!
There were lots of memories here...the most scariest part is one of our friends, Afiq, met with a scary guy who kept asking for something...because the guy misunderstood that Afiq took a video of him...but actually he was taking a video for our group...huhu...pity him...I'm afraid something would happen at that time...Luckily, we managed to escape from the guy at the end..and we drove far away from that place..(Mob is a culture in Spain)..So, it's really scary and not safe at all after we met with the incident...The place seems like didn't have the sense of security for us anymore (Barcelona)..huhuhu....
In Andorra (if not mistaken), we parked at the wrong place...and we get fined for that..over 200 euros...hooh!!! What a day for us...hahahha...unexpected...hehhehe...
Before I forget, I want to tell that the security check in for the airport in Birmingham is damn strict!!!!!!! First, we have to bring only one cabin luggage! (Even our handbags also have to put into that luggage) and the size for the cabin luggage is really limited!!!! hoooooohhh....They won't let you go if you don't abide to the rules...
That's the story!
Birmingham airport- Malaga- Seville Nevada- Gibraltar- Granada- Cordoba- Madrid- Barcelona- Andorra- Perpignan- Girona airport
