I've been back for a few days and i've been trying to adjust back to horribly boring and damp life in England after an amazing week in Spain with 3 of my best friends. It's difficult to write about the whole week because all the days seemed to merge together, but we have loads of funny memories and great nights out and we took loads of photos. So i'll share just a selection of my photos and a few of the memories and leave the rest of what happened to the saying... "what happens in Benalmadena, stays in Benalmadena!"
Ice Bar - After a cheeky explore around the streets on night one to just get a little taster of what was out there, we came across Ice Bar which we'd read about so decided to go in and see what it was about. Turns out it was a really small room, with no one in there, absolutely freezing beyond belief and slippy surfaces you couldn't put your drink on. A hilarious experience though!
Night two we discovered the "24hr Square" a selection of bars and clubs that were mainly for English tourists with English music and cheap drinks... right up our street. We celebrated by wearing various hats, dancing on a bar, stealing tequila shots and meeting a stag party which became quite a feature of the week... (I still want to punch the man in the Hollister top, Kat J's face reflects this perfectly.) We also found the man in the red top in the first of these 3 pictures, lying in a heap, passed out in the next bar. This may have been his last conscious photo that night!
Benalmadena Marina - When we weren't on a night on the square we would go for a more chilled out one in the bars or a restaurant on the Marina. This area was so nice and some of the yachts and boats were incredible! It was like a mini Marbella and we were told it was where the rich Spanish would go to shop or eat and they had really fancy apartments surrounding the harbour.
Migel and the Spanish crowd - We met a crowd of Spanish men a few nights into the holiday who were staying at our hotel. Migel was the first who came over to try and speak English to us but then the rest joined us. Apparently they were policemen... hmm...! But we had a laugh, until they then insisted on playing knock door run or banging on our doors on their way back in at 7am... haha, we quickly had enough of them! (the one standing in this last picture looked like a bald Ricky Martin.)
Euro Final - on the last night we watched the Spain vs Italy Euro final, which was amazing to be in Spain at the time. Of course they won 4-0 so it was such a good party atmosphere to be out in for our last night! We got into the spirit and bought some Spanish football tops off of a looky looky man and painted our faces with flags. Because it was the last night I fully went for it and met some quite interesting characters ...haha! But our fave from the night has to be the guy from Texas who was very friendly! We also managed to sneak a lot of pizza and chips from a closed take away and in return for this favour, i stole their hat. Fair deal i'd say... haha!
So thats a selection of the memories, I'm sure theres lots i've not mentioned! I cant believe how much of a difference it is being back home... today the news is predicting a months rainfall in one day... the worst areas affected being the Midlands, fantastic!
But in other news since I got back I got my uni results which I am very proud to announce that in 2 weeks time I will be graduating from the University of Leeds with a ||i degree classification (thats 2:1 in normo language!) I'm so pleased because I had convinced myself if may have been bad news and not what I really hoped to get, but all the worrying was for nothing and I feel so proud. I got a 70 awarded for my dissertation, which is a first class dissertation which I am completely over the moon with! I now can't wait for the actual graduation ceremony so that I can properly celebrate with my parents and all those 16 years of education in my life have ended so well!
Better get back to building an arc so that I can survive this weather,
Lots of post-spanish love,
Becca xx
