The flying stops and the travelling begins

I was supposed to fly home this Thursday. For the last two months I have tried to postpone my flight for a week or so, so I could also do some independent travelling. It just wasn´t happening because all the flights were full. After a while, I just said, bugger it, just put me on the next available flight out whenever that is and I can deal with bringing it forward if needed later. The next flight was the 8th August. I took it. The flying component of my trip is sadly over but the am looking forward to spending some time just travelling and catching up with a few friends and my brother.

I am already in Malaga, Spain.


Flights are cheap. It was easy. It was only a 2 and a bit hours travel time to Spain.

It was sad in a way to say goodbye to my travelling buddies, Sam and Sarah. Over the last month, we had spent almost every second together. The only time alone was while sleeping and flying. Sam wants to hang out and try to find some work somewhere. Sarah is still deciding what to do and has a few things to clean up in Frankfurt but is just going with the flow at the moment. In a way, they were like my family for a month. We had some great times.


While on the flying part of the trip, we lived out of the car. We cooked every meal and I can only remember eating out once or twice. We stayed the majority of time in the camping grounds and only spent a couple of hours in the big cities. Now, the environment is totally different. I will be in the cities, staying at hostels and eating tapas with the local music in the background at every opportunity. The following are the essentials for every meal.

Plans are changing on a daily basis at the moment as I understand more about Spain and what others plans are.
