Summer Hols Part 1: Granada

Summer holiday. we've been to Granada, Barcelona and Paris for 12 days. The actual plan was 15 days. another 3 days at London. but then, everyone was really tired n kerinduan yg teramat for chatting n telephoning. we decided to buy another train tickets. yes, thanks God the price not very expensive. long journey so long story. this post is mainly about Granada 1st. hee.

ktrg naik flight kat London Stansted. Giler ramai org kat airport tu. Eventhough airport tu kecik. Flight die boleh dikatakan tak berhenti la msk n kluar. Flight ke Granada delay half an hour. Bayangkan la dah duduk dlm plane tu, tapi aircond takde. Stuffy! Arrived at Granada Jaen at 10pm. We took airport bus to city centre. Hana asked the bus driver about our hotel in English and he asnwered in Spain. OMG! i thought France je yg taknak ckp English, Granada ni pon sama. haish. Met some Malaysians at city centre. Hostel Lisboa was in the city centre. Mmg sng. 1 hari perjalanan. sgt penat! Semua tido keletihan.

La al-Hambra. 13 euro. we bought Sight-seeing bus ticket which we regret later. Sebabnye ktrg bole je naek bas biasa 2euro ke Al-Hambra but then we bought 18euro sight-seeing ticket. rugi2! Al-Hambra ni sgt besar. die mcm kota. ada istana n lots of garden. seriously besar n cantek, Subhanallah. we spent one day at Al-Hambra.

this place used to be under Muslim rulers. King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile attacked this place in 1492. Remind us of golden age of Islam in Spain. Seni bina still ada ciri2 Islam. kat dinding ada khat ukiran "Tiada tuhan melainkan Allah" (in arabic). Rasa bangga jgk pikir betapa hebatnye Islam zmn dl n sedih jgk melihat kejatuhan Islam kini. And no wonder la people in Spain cantek2 n kacak2 maybe mixture of Arabs n org puteh. diorg tak besar2 cam org UK. most of them petite2 n rmbut itam. Granada sgt pns smpaikan ktrg sume burn2. My nose bleeding. 1 hari sudah cukup utk membelangkan wajahku. huhu. maybe sbb granada ni kat south n near to morrocco. die lebey kurang cam pdg pasir pon ada surrounding die.

went to Malaga, 1 1/2 hour by bus from Granada. Subhanallah cantek gler pntai die. tp memandangkan tmpat itu bernama pntai, org2 pon ramai la menjemurkan diri. rosak pndangan aku ari nie. huhu. again, panas! kiranye dl i dont really drink water, tp kat sini bergelen2 air aku telan. time kaseh spain kerna berjaya mmbuatkan diriku minum air. huhu. abes2 kan ms kat Malaga. smpah byk btol kat jln2. well spain tak mcm UK sgt bab2 kebersihan alam nie.

went back to Granada at nite. had dinner at Nemrut. Kebab's shop. our fav. tp ms mkn tu ade la plak sekor anjing ni merayau2 carik mknn bwh meja. mmg mmbntutkan selera. we told the owner and asked him to shoo the dog. but then he replied "ah dog?". He told us that the dog wont bite us. Die clap hand camtu then blah. hish pakcek nie mmg takleh blah. huhu. otw back to hotel, saw uncle Arshad. we met him n his wife on the bus from airport to city centre last tuesday. diorg sgt baek. siap ajak pegi umah diorg kat london laie mkn kari udang.

went to shopping 1st because our flight is at 845pm. msk mall. sale! walaweh ape laie, buta la mata kejap. huhu. at 4pm took bus to the airport. flight from Granada to Barcelona Girona sgt la bising manusia kat dlm tu. ada 1 rombongn tu. diorg wat flight tu mcm flight diorg. memekak tak abes2. ala2 rombongn dr ulu mn nak pegi kl. syok telebih agaknye. arrived at Girona at 11pm+. flight delay 45minutes. aiya konon punctual. the end cite kat Granada.

we learned a lot. people in Granada quite racist. maybe because they rarely saw other races n people. yela duk kampung pastu narrow minded plak. huhu. mcm pakcek bank yg campak je pasport nad tu. we now experts on how to read body language. we asked in English then they answered in Spanish. but still we can survive melalui pembacaan body lang. oh i learned few words n these some words tat i repeatly used to communicate with them, gracias(thanks) and see(yes). =)
