Granada. Not Seville. That´s the place to be, and fortunetly it´s where i am.

I´ve left Seville and made it to Granada and it feels 10x better. I´m staying in a hostel called ¨The Oasis¨hostel. A really cool place that rivals Kabul in barecelona, and Rising cock in portugal. The mainstay of this place is the people, i´ve already made a huge amount of friends and 2 of them will accompany me to Morrocco. Which is a huge plus, it´s one of the big reasons i came here...to recruit for morroco. ´With that said, i´m happy to be here and i´m happy to spend the next couple days here.

The first night was kicked off by the tapas tour. I´d only been in the hostel a number of hours and i´d already found a group of people to tag along with, which i was pleased about. Thier names are, in order of most to least importance: Tom, Trevor, Ana lisa and Courtney. All from North America (and still they make fun of my accent). With that group we did the mildly impressive tapas tour. I have mixed reviews on the whole experience. After that we packed it in and waited until
Rooves....?

tommorow where we´d hit up the hot springs...which turned out to be the best idea we´ve had yet. The day started out with an awesome 3 hour hike onto some mountains that surround Granada, I´ve got some intense pictures of the Sierra Nevada and sore calves to prove it. at around 6pm, night rolled in and we started planning for the Hotsprings. Hours before we left we met up with Tim and Katie, whom he convinced to join in. After a 20 minute drive in a shifty renault and naked spanish men later, we pulled up to a muddy hole in the ground and got in. It smelt more like sewage then natural hot spring, Albeit the guides claimed it was because of all the minerals. I couldn´t really have cared less, and neither could the others. We spent over 4 hours jumping from one hot spring to another, drinking our litre beers and wine. We didn´t get back ...
