Time for a new entry... Well, rather writing a new entry for a trip taken last month. So, off the after Istanbul and Brazil, I was back in London for about a week before I set off again, this time though it was not for work, but rather holiday. My friend, Gregor Ridley, was turning 3? and he decided he wanted to spend it with his close friends (myself, Raj and David) relaxing on the beach. Well, who I am to say no to a beach holiday.
Spain, as you may recall from some of my earlier blogs, is one of my favourite places to go. I went three times my first year here, and there are still so many cities that I would like to visit before I head back. We used airbnb to book our accommodation, and when we arrived, it was amazing! We had a two bedroom flat, with a patio overlooking the water.
We arrived, dropped our bags, and then went quickly to the beach to soak up the sun. This was just what I needed after a busy couple of weeks, to relax on the beach without a care in the world; just good friends and good conversation. After a couple of hours, we made our way back to the house to prepare for our first night out. Now, we all know how this works. You say the first night should be light, so you can plan, but it always ends up the biggest. Well, this was the situation in our case.
We got home, grabbed some food and wine from the store, and then made ourselves a little picnic before we went out for the night, and what a night it was. We were a short walk from the city centre, and were finally able to leave the flat a bit later than we wanted. The good thing about this is that we were in Spain, where the nightlife typically does not even take off until midnight. I will leave it with, our first night was something to remember!
The rest of the trip was pretty much the same as the first, beach, dinner, going out, then repeat. It was a great time and I truly enjoyed the company I was with!
Thanks for the great trip Gregor, look forward to many more together!
