love spaniards



ok, just a quick pic on the xmas market in the old town.

anyway, the next day, it was a full trip out of palma. took a bus to several sea towns after palmanova where i stayed. went to santa ponca. went to tourist info b4 going for lunch at a nice chinese resturant - chinese in spain are reallllllllllllllllly nice, unlike in paris and other europena cities with so much fuckin attitude. they r genuinely nice.
went to the archaelogical site, up on e hill about 100over metres. what a fucking view of the sea and coastal area.


this is where we are, on e hill. the 'expedition' meant that we had to get down t the town u see at the cove in e mid of the picture where we had to climb up ACROSS THE HILL to get to the other side of the mountain, another village where we were to trek to - paguera.


we've on the otehr side of th ehill now. as you can see in the pic above, the summit of the hill was where i was standing and from where i took the pic above above. (dun mind my english).






here i'm just fucking around w the cat. cute. there were 2 of them. like shadows of a shadow. one was v friendly, which u see above. the other on was a 'piss off' look.






this s how the coves look. gorgeous waters amidst pink limestone? anyway, i went off e road, to the tracks off e coast and it was really beautiful. some had no roads so you had to just walk on e tracks and just enjoy e view.






anyhow, i made it up e lonesome road - v v v v v fucking quiet and i soon lost sight of other tourists. the rain clouds overhead gathered and it started to rain and pour. and there i was on the hill, trying to wonder where e road will end in paguera. apparently not. lost my way, saw a majorcan and grabbed him - where and how do i get to paguera. he was very nice. didnt speak mch english but very accommodating regardles whcih i really appreciated from spaniards.

went UP e hill, no directions, no signs, despite e stupid tourist office book which cost 1 euro. then went up a strange hill which is not relaly a road, just gravel, INTO someone's residential compound and me and my friend were suddenly trying to jump off e mountain and climb into areas which are clearly NOT FOR TRESPASSING. we went up past the cordoned off area on a small hill atop a hill, and were at a fence when we saw ANOTHR MAN who was trekking to paguera and he said, it's that way, on HIS SIDE OF THE FENCE. and we got frantic and quickly tryied to find a way - it was about coming to 5 and getting dark and no way do u wanna get stuck there in a forest or a winding road during winter.

finally, we tried our luck and just PICKED A TRACK in e midle of a the forest. saw a lot of crap which was really big in size and i said to my friend: "are there bears in this forest?". finally, we walked and walked, and it was treacherous at parts oh man. so narrow and if u slip, hasta la vista baby.

made it out finally out of the forest, into PAGUERA>.....yayayayayayayayay.

but anyway, we got into a german town where everything was german. it was just not my kinda place. we were getting stares. yuck.
what i realised is that the former colonial powers are still the same today. except they do it in the form of $. i mean, they go to small towns by the sea and just buY UP EVEERYTHING and every shop space and just call it their own little britain and little germany. gross. yucks. i dun understand why i would want to go to spain and live in a little singapore. it' s FUCKING STUPID!
