Hello Angels, My final destination on the trip of a lifetime was Amsterdam. We arrived in Amsterdam late in the afternoon and walked from the train station to our hostel. The walk felt like hours, although I think it was only 10 minutes or so. Our day was a long one, so we decided to … Continue reading Amsterdam

Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona
Hello Angels, My last night as a contiki group ended back where it started; in Madrid. Nothing exciting happened as we arrived a little later in the afternoon. We headed out for our final dinner in the city, a 3 course meal, true Spanish style. Sadly, I found myself unable to even move with the … Continue reading Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona
Lisbon, Portugal
Hello Angels, Although Seville was wonderful, I couldn't help but review Lisbon as even more so. It is a must see. Our first day in Lisbon we went on a little adventure to the main attractions of the city, but for me, they weren't really up my alley. These attractions were; the Belem Tower, the … Continue reading Lisbon, Portugal
Seville
Hello Angels, My full day in Seville started like this; A sleep in. Travelling is exhausting, but when you can squeeze a little sleep in you definitely learn to not take it for granted. Once cassie and I were up and ready, we met some of the girls on our tour group at the Alcazar. … Continue reading Seville
Asilah and Gibraltar
Hello Angels, So sad to say goodbye to Marrakech, but our early start to Asilah was exciting! Another day spent on the bus, mostly sleeping because there's nothing else to do. Along the way we stopped off in Casablanca to get lunch. Casablanca was pretty and I was sad that we couldn't have stayed longer … Continue reading Asilah and Gibraltar
Marrakech, Morocco

This one was particularly painful as everyone was feeling a little ill from their stomachs not being used to spices and food in Morocco. We arrived to Marrakech at around 5pm and one group went to ride camels (I chose not to after hearing … Continue reading Marrakech, Morocco
Fes, Morocco
Hello Angels, From Spain we all jumped on a ferry to Morocco! It was strange getting off the ferry and realising I'm in Africa. The bus came with us on the ferry so we all got on and had about a 2.5hr drive to a service stop where we could get some lunch. I was … Continue reading Fes, Morocco
Barcelona
Hello Angels, Our next day trip took us to Zaragoza, another small town on the way to a larger city. In this case, Barcelona!! We only got to spend an hour in Zaragoza, so we went to the cathedral to look around. This was the biggest cathedral I've been in so far on this trip. … Continue reading Barcelona
San Sebastian and Pamplona
Hello Angels, San Sebastián was the next place that we got to explore. Unfortunately we could only have a stop over on the way to Pamplona because it was too expensive to stay in the town. San Sebastian was really beautiful. As soon as we arrived, everyone hiked up to the top of a mountain. … Continue reading San Sebastian and Pamplona
Segovia and Bilbao
Hello Angels, We left Madrid at 8:30am; really early for those who stayed out partying until 4:30am. It was a long drive to Segovia, a small town between Madrid and Bilbao. We got around 3 hours to ourselves there and the views were incredible. There was a castle there that Mr Walt Disney himself took … Continue reading Segovia and Bilbao
