Alicante

As usual, I'm a few weeks months behind but oh well. The last three months had been kind of hectic, but I already wrote a rant about it on Flickr so I won't (extensively) repeat myself. But to sum it up in a few words, I graduated, found a job - or rather a job found me -,started another degree, pitched a project with two friends (all that at the same time) and all hell broke loose. Not in a bad way, but in a 'i'm overwhelmed help me please' way.

But this photos are from a more peaceful and quiet era (do I sound like a granny yet?), when I wasn't yet quitting jobs because of the amount of stress or trying to release a videogame. But hey, some people were conquering countries at my age, so I think I still have some catch up to do.

Anyway, El Campello (my friend's town, with whom we stayed and to whom we are incredibly indebted) and Alicante were beautiful. We ate too much, slept too little and had to drive a lot of kilometres in few days, but as usual it was worth it.

My next stop is Warsaw, where we are heading next Monday. Expect many photos. Probably late as usual but I'm really looking forward to it, despite the amount of work (I have exams in two weeks, and too many brain parts to remember) or the flu that I so conveniently caught two days ago. Sigh. Anyhow, if anyone knows good places to visit in the city, all suggestions are welcome!

Budapest

It has been three months since I visited Budapest, the first term is almost over and I have the feeling that just two days ago I was still swimming in the sea and sunbathing on the beach, with all the time in the world (which I used...eh...to do nothing). It's scary how fast time flies (I sound like a granny, I know). Many things happened, most of them completely unexciting and mainly irrelevant, but when you reflect on past times is always those small unimportant things that matter the most. Life is a funny thing, right?. I got myself a new laptop in the meantime (hurray!), so I hope that will help to solve the I'm-so-behind-the-editing problem. 

So yeah, here there are, photos from the beautiful city of Budapest. I don't know if it's because the grass is always greener on the other side, but I kind of fall in love with each city I visit. I do love Barcelona (which by the way, I hope I will have the time to photograph again soon! It has been a long time since I went for a walk with just my camera), but when I think about all the places that I can still discover I get an urge to pack a bag and go somewhere far away. Or maybe not so far away: Budapest is like two hours away on plane. Wanderlust, I guess they call it. 

In short, Budapest was awesome. We spent only two days there, but as always it felt as such a short but long time, if that makes sense at all. We visited four coffee shops during those two days, and I wish it had been more. It rained half of the time and I got terrible blisters on my feet, but it was awesome anyway.
