The trip has started!


¡Hola!

Yesterday we started our trip to Tenerife. First stop was Badalona and Carlas cousins house.

10.05 we left Alvik, Umea and at 11 we arrived at Arlanda, Stockholm.
The next plane to go to Barcelona left at 15.30, it should have left at 15 but someone who had checked in their baggage didn`t show up for the flight so they had to go thru all the baggages and remove his for safety reasons.

We got about 40-1h of sleep on the plane and it was a bit bumpy time to time. When we starded our descent to land I got an amazing veiw over Barcelona. It was something completely diffrent. All the houses with a swimming pool next to almost all of them was a really cool thing to see. And even though I tried my best to see Nou Camp I didn`t, I think it might have been better to sit on the other side of the plane.

Once in Barcelona we ran from the baggage pick-up to try to catch the train but we failed with 20 secounds... the next one was only 30 min away so it was no big deal really, exept that we already was souking wet of sweat. The humidity was really high and it was 28 degrees witch came as a chock for bouth me and Carlas bodies.

But after changing train to the Badalona train, which we also had big trouble getting on, but this train we made somehow, the doors cloes right behind us.

We got a good cold shower and some clean clothes and then we went out to eat something. We found a place not that far from the appartment and ate tapas and drank a beer.

The appartment we are staying in is amazing, and it`s only 100-150m from the beach so we have a beautiful view over the sea.

Today we woke up around 10.30 and went to the "inner city" with a lot of shops. We had coffey and I had a Bocadillo (sandwitch). We continued walking down the small streets just looking, and a bit trying to find a pair of shorts but this proved to be a bit hard, they are almost just selling "winter" clothes now, and the only shorts they have (what we could find) are basketball shorts or football shorts which are really expensive, 40 € was one we looked at.

But we bought beer, three 33cl for 1€... not that bad...

Now we just arrived back from the beach were we had beer and chips in a little bar on the beach..

Well, tonight Sweden is playing Hungary, but as you can imagine that wont be shown on the TV here, but we will watch Spain - Armenia instead! At 22.00... and remember that its the same time in main of Spain as in Sweden, but in the Canary Islands it`s one hour less. (Sweden GTM +1, Canary Islands GTM)

That`s all for today I think, but it's great to finally be here!!!

Carla told me that you didn't get into the water in the beach!! So you can't say "I was in the beach", jeje. I think you are going to change it when you arrive to
Tenerife.
