I was in Barcelona last summer. It was very hot there and I sunbathed. There was often good food. I walked a lot every day and in the evening my legs were tired. The sun shone every day and on the last day it was about 40c. (more…)

About two years ago I was on holiday with my family in Gran Canaria, Ingles, and that was the best trip ever ! Ingles was a small, there were lots of small beautiful hotels all around and it didn’t take much time to get to the shops or to the beach because everything was close-by. The shopping was amazing ! Shops were open all night long and there were masses of people. It was mind-blowning. Sometimes there were people so many that I almost felt dizzy. You could almost smell all new clothes, bags and all the stuff that people were selling. Some shopkeepers were almost agressive and they just catched you and pulled you with them and started to show you all kind of tuff that they were selling. That was really uncomfortable. Where ever you go in Gran Canaria there is beach everywhere. People layghed and screamed excitedly in the water, all the sunchairs were taken and people had dark sunburns. Sand was snow white and the ocean was bright blue. Everyday I went to a mall called Yumbo, which was the largest mall in Ingles. There were all kinds of activities; bungee jumping, circus, horse riding, movies.. everything you can ever imagine. Ingles is a popular place for tourists. You could here people speaking finish everywhere but also some swedish and danish. Local people were very friendly and they spoke good english so you didn’t have to scare language barrier. Some of them could say couple things in finish too. What an amazing place ! Here is couple pictures which I took myself =)
