PROXIMA PARADA? Santander, SPAIN

We met at Stansted airport and as soon as we got on the plane we fought like little children on who gets to sit near the window. In the end we decided he could sit there for the journey and i could sit for the way back. Two hours later we were in not so sunny Spain! We took the bus to Santanders town centre and we were on a mision to find our hostal. We got lost even though it was a two minute walk from where we got off the bus and when we eventually got there we found it difficult to communicate with the owner of the hostal through the outdoor intercom! We were trying to tell him we had a reservation and the idiot didnt speak a word of english... I mean, how hard could it be "open the fucking door"!! Eventually a passer by could speak english and spanish so we had no problems getting in. We were greeted my this old man who i think tried to tell us he was sleeping before we knocked on the door! He showed us our room which was nice, it had a big tv, a double bed, two single beds, a big wardrobe, table and chairs AND a balcony! The view was amazing i would be smoking a cigarette whilst looking down at an alleyway and bins full of shit! But anyway we dropped our stuff and decided to go for a walk and get something to eat because we were so hungry so we went to the commercial centre and had a burger king. The next day we woke up at 7 in the morning and looked out of the window to see the streets filled with thick fog. We left the room to get the train to another part of Cantabria where the mountains were but we ended up getting on the wrong train and going to the end of the line which is Lierganes. The weirdest thing was when we got to Lierganes the sky was blue and there was sunshine, but 2 stops before that station you couldnt see a thing because the fog was that thick. From the train station i could see some mountains to the left of me so i said to him yeah we are going up those ones. Here are pictures of a few things we saw on the road that lead to the mountains.







As we were folling the road the mountain looked as if it was getting closer. We were passing houses with crazy dogs barking, horses etc... The town was nice and the air was fresh. It was a typical spanish town and we looked like we didnt belong there! So here is the mountain we were going to climb....



So anyway... we walked, we joked, we argued and we smoked. We were walking up the path that goes up the mountain passing small little houses with crazy guard dogs barking like they are hungry and your there lunch. I saw this VERY steep vertical muddy hill so like idiots we decided to climb it! From far down it didnt seem that high but we was hanging vertical for 20 minutes slipping and trying not to loose grip because if we fall were fucked!! It would be like jumping from a 8-10 floor building! Eventually we got to the top muddy and wet but we carried on! here are some pictures of the view and how high we were on the mountain. Enjoy!











The worst was to come... I took us off the path because i wanted to take a short cut... Big mistake!! Here's what happened in a script....

Nusense and Jeremy are walking down a path, further ahead nusense can see a house and 3 barking dogs running towards them. At first she thought they were on leashes but then she noticed they were getting closer and closer from far away.

"Jeremy" (Nusense)
"What?" (Jeremy)
"I dont think those dogs are on leashes" (Nusense)
"oh dont be silly of course they are, look!" (Jeremy)

The dogs were getting closer. Nusense and Jeremy stopped walking and stood there watching the dogs get closer"

"OHHHHHH FUUUUUCK RUUUUUUUUUUN" (Jeremy)

They ran back the other way, nusense ahead of jeremy for a quick second before being over taken and left behind!!

"YOU CUUUUUUUUUNT" (Nusense)

They turned around and the dogs were only 3 houses behind them, they turned a corner still running and the dogs stopped chasing! I said to him "you cunt you ran passed me and left me for the dogs" all was forgiven after i thought to myself somehow someway i will have my revenge! After all the pain we went through we finally got to the start of the mountain where Jeremy decided to sit down and not want to climb it! Here were his exact words "I've come this far and im staying here... I dont want to die in Spain"!!!





I ended up not climbing it until a bit later simply because i didnt want to leave him on his own even though he reassured me he will be ok. Eventually after lying down on the grass and catching some sun i climbed on my own.



The long way back to the train station was long and tiring and after a few pit stops for drinks we made it on the train and on the way back to Santander where we had a rest then went out to eat at a restaurant after walking about for 2 hours trying to find somewhere decent to eat. After that it was straight to bed!

The next day we decided to take a walk along the beach and eventually we ended up at a place called forestal park! There was obstacle courses going from tree to tree they had ropes, ladders, wire cables, the place was huge and the trees were so high! I didnt have much money on me so Jeremy payed for me and we both got strapped up with the equipment. I was doing very well but Jeremy looked like he was struggling he was going so slow! The funniest thing was when we were both on a platform on a very high tree and he had to connect his harness to the rope at the top to swing down into a net... But he is afraid of heights so he wouldnt make the jump SO I PUSHED HIM!!! hahaha!!! He was not entirely amused! We had a lot of fun that day, and the people that worked for that place gave us a life home in there car they were cool and on drugs so we had a lot to talk about from our knowledge! When we got back to the hostal that night we relaxed and i watched an american movie "mrs doubtfire" it was dubbed in spanish and i watched the full movie like i could understand it!

The next day was a sunday and as everything was closed there wasnt anything to do... We went back to Lierganes because it was so peaceful there! They had a market going on so i bought a few neclaces then we made our way back to the mountains. This time we went hiking on a path leading up the mountains and it was really nice i could see in the distance the mountain i climbed 2 days before...





We didnt get to finish our route because it was getting late and the commercial centre was closing and we were hungry and there wasnt that good restaurants open. So we both got a pizza then bought some food for the night.

The next day was our flight from Santander to Stansted at 18:25 so we had plenty of time to kill. We decided to go to the beach even though the weather was not that nice. As i was sunbathing, my child was making sand monuments.









Isnt he talented?!! We then made our way to the airport with sand in our hair, feet and cloths, we passed through the commercial centre and arrived at the airport. As we say all good things come to an end! Here are some photos from the end of our trip. PROXIMA PARADA? London Stansted.

Paris, FRANCE

My good friend from spain asked if i will come join him in Paris because he had to go for a few days for his work... did i refuse? NO! ok heres what went down .... This time i went by easy jet and the take off scared the living crap out of me! instead of going straight the plane was swerving! But despite going through that emotional trauma i made it to Paris safely! I felt so comfortable because i was actually in a foreign country and i could speak there language! Got through passport control you know the drill.. and then it was my mission to find the train station (GARE) in the airport. i kept following the signs and eventually after 30 minutes walking i found it, woo woo! I got on the train and i met him at Gare du Norde. At first we couldnt find each other because it was so big but then eventually we did so then we got a burger king, walked around for a bit and then we made our way back to the hotel to chill out. When we got to the hotel it was already night time and quite late so i took out my portable ipod speakers and we were listening to some good tunes. He was drawing a picture and it was really good trust me this guys very talented he even started drawing me smoking out of the window!






After messing about and making noise i decided to get toilet paper and wrap it round his head so he looked like a mummy! It was pretty funny!!





After that we decided to catch some sleep because he had to wake up early in the morning for a work conference. I woke up to find him gone and a lot of cakes on the bedroom table with a note saying "here is your breakfast i will be back around 2" i thought that was sweet... the cakes, not him! haha! So i ate up and went back to bed for an hour, woke up again and had a smoke out of the window and decided to film the view! French slums!





He eventually got back from work and we went out to have a look at the sites. We got on the train to Notre Damme and decided to go to the famous and holy place where apparently the hunchback used to live! So we went into the church it was so quiet that you could hear a penny drop! So, me, being myself, started giving dog whistlers and people kept turning around giving me dirty looks. My spanish friend walked off like he didnt know me, and i was left walking on my own looking disrespectful... bothered! And then the moment came when my friend took out a plastic ring and asked for my hand in marriage... I said NO of course! But i still kept the ring haha! After that we walked 2 hours along the river to get to the eiffel tower. When we got there i looked at it and said "very nice, now lets go im hungry!" As we walked away we turned around and the eiffel tower lit up with lights! It was pretty.... boring!!! hahahaha no im joking it was nice. After that we jumped on the train and got off at a random stop called Opera. We walked down any road and came across this monument, got curious so walked in and ended up standing in front of some pyramid looking thing! I thought to myself man i hate feeling like a tourist! It got to the time where my legs were KILLING me and i wanted to go back and rest. So we headed off back to the hotel and bought lots of snacks, plus it was getting late and i had to leave early the next day at 6am to catch my plane back to london. We got back to the hotel and kicked back for a bit and then eventually we fell asleep. The next day i was so tired but managed to get out of bed and the whole journey to the airport i was being a miserable bitch! I enjoyed my flight back though we flew over the channel so i could see United Kingdom on my left and France on my right! It looked really cool we even flew over Wembley Stadium and i thought like saying to the pilot "Oi can u drop me off here i only live 5 minutes away from the stadium"!!

When i got back from Cantabria, Santander, SPAIN

As usual i never get back to the sound of silence. My dad had enough of me and found every excuse to throw me out. After begging my mum to take me back she finally agreed to take me back on the following conditions:

1. Find a job most important

2. Keep room clean and tidy

3. Be nice to my boyfriends (Yes, she said boyfriends!!!)

4. Dont use my computer

Can i just say i know she said keep ROOM clean and tidy but when i went back to live there with her i had no room to go back to because she rented it out! So basically my so called room was the living room couch! My dad dropped me off at her house with all my things and he said goodbye and drove off. Since then i havnt spoken to him and aleady its been 2 months. Shit happens.

Cantabria, Santander, SPAIN

I got to stansted airport finally after the coach journey taking over 2 hours because there was traffic, so by the time i got to the airport my plane was about to depart within 45 minutes SHIIIT, so i checked in, had my last cigarette, went to the duty free to get my friends some cigarettes, just when i was about to pay i was told i cant buy cigarettes and deport them to any country within europe so i thought thank god at least now i dont have to carry these bricks with me everywhere i go! So i jumped on the plane and sat 2 and a half hours without any music because my ipod died on me and i didnt have a charger. Two hours later i was flying over the ocean about to land in spain i could see all the mountains from where i was landing! I got to the airport and met my spaniard buddy! Funny thing is he was blabbering on and on and i couldnt even hear him because my ears were so badly blocked (especially the right one) from the flight so i was like "WHAAAT??.... WHAT?!!!!" And to make things worse we had to walk from the airport to the train station for half an hour in the pouring rain and it was fucking windy and freeeezing! And i had a rucksack with all my cloths which were getting wet! SO already i was was getting pissed off! So anyway i was on a hype freestyling around what was going to be my home for the next 2 days! And despite my right ear being blocked as hell i still managed to keep a happy face. So we jumped on the train for 3 stops, we got off i went to a tobaccoist to buy some FORTUNA's my favourite! and then we walked to his house which was apparently a 15 minute walk but lasted an hour and a half! We kept stopping under shelters because the rain got too bad and it was draining into what i thought was a waterproof jacket (yeah right) primark piece of shit! After freestyling and admitedly "busting jokes" we finally arrived at his place, climbing 3 flights of stairs i made it in, he took me on a tour it was a typical spanish home! So i put my bag down, had a cigarette out the window then we went on the computer room where he showed me his low budget studio. We attempted to make a track but it completely flopped so then he decided to take some pictures of me and my ink! After giving off a couple of shots i thought it would be a good idea to watch a film and then get an early night and wake up the next day to start our excusion in the mountains. Now i love my horror films, and he didnt have any so i said to him right i think we should watch taxi driver. For the first 10 minutes of the film he wouldnt stop talking but then eventully he shut up and i was made to watch what i thought was the most boringest film of my life, from what i remember i was falling in and out of conciousness so finally the film ended it was around 11:00pm. So we went in his bedroom where i was to sleep on the top bunk and he was to sleep on the bottom, jumped up got into bed and just when i was about to close my eyes and sleep i heard tapping comming from under my bed so i said to him "what now!" and then he turned his light on, got out a map and started showing me which routes we will be taking the next day, and then he started showing me japanese comics and some art that he did which was pretty impressive i must say. So then we talked a bit til 3 in the morning. The next day i woke up to a flash in my eyes. It was 7am and the cunt was taking pictures of me asleep so i was like "what the hell are you doing!!!" he just laughed and thought it was funny!



We were supposed to wake up around 7am to climb mountains but i completely ignored the alarm and this guys wake up call so decided to sleep til 11am. So when i woke up i got a bollocking saying its too late to climb mountains at this time blah blah should of woken up at 7 and so on. So i thought to myself how the hell is it too late to climb mountains at 11am? When i was in pego the latest i climbed was 17:00 hmm maybe thats why me and breaker got stuck in a bush in the middle of the mountains not to mention it was pitch black and we still hadnt reached the top! So anyway as the spaniard says its too late to climb so we decided to go to the beach that day. When i came out he said to me he had made me breakfast so i thought hmm this will be interesting so i went to the kitchen to find two toasts on a plate with some orange shit on top so i said to him "what the fucks that" he said "marmalade" i said "err i hate marmalade" so he got a bit upset which i felt bad for at least a few seconds, thought to myself shall i just eat it to make him happy? then i thought back to what i just said i thought naaahhh! for breakfast that morning i had 2 slices of dry toast (i thought it would be safer even though i nearly choked!) oh yeah and i had some hot chocolate which wasnt even hot! So we left the house i was smoking away like a chimney and he was getting funny because apparently i smoke too much... So we jumped on the bus he payed for my bus fare and as the bus was moving he was showing me all these "heres where i work, heres the city hall, heres where i cycled, heres where i..."..... "ooookkk.... TAXI" i thought. So we got off the bus and straight away i could see the beach it looked so beautiful and it reminded me of my time in spain a few months back.







So i asked him to get my camcorder out of his bag and i started filming the beach, i spotted some cliffs up ahead so i asked if we could climb up there, so he agreed and we were walking on the beach towards the cliffs, at the same time we was filming my video for rescue me and a lot of passers by were looking to see what the hell we are doing, what the hell i am saying, and what the hell am i wearing. I didnt give a shit i carried on rapping until we got to the path that leads to the cliff.



As we were walking up the path there was a wall full of grafitti so we stopped to take some pictures, well he took pictures of me never of himself!








So as we were going up the path there was a slope going down and on the bottom there were loads of rocks and cliffs... so we walked down there i was a bit off balanced and it didnt help him taking pictures of me as i was jumping from rock to rock.



So we were chilling under a cliff and he decided to get his harmonica out and play, i was really impressed when i heard him play "scarborough fair - simon and garfunkel" he did it so well it sounded really nice and relaxing.



So after that we went to the cliffs and for a split second i felt like pushing him off haha!! Anyway it was nice up there the sun was shining and we walked around the coast and took some more shots for my video. When we got to this lighthouse we thought it would be funny to race up this hill and time each other!! Sad i know! So he was faster than me and i got beaten by a few seconds only because i kept falling over on the way up!!







After that we kicked back and i tried catching some sun for a bit but later on i realized it didnt work and i was still pasty white haha!



So we walked back and had a deep discussion about life, people and where im from. We walked past some odd looking statues and i let my naughty side take over!....



After that we got a bite to eat, went back to his house and we (tried to watch) the cable guy! And again i tried to concentrate on the film but we were having a discussion on battles and wars! As usual i was the first to fall asleep, when we woke up the next day we decided to chill out at one of the conventional centres called valle real. We went there to pass time because my flight was due in 4 hours. As we arrived there we had a look around and i came across a pet shop with dogs in cages and i didnt like that because to me thats cruelty to animals. So we went into some arcade place and played a few games of pool, him being competitive was out to beat me but in the end the score was 2-2. The walk to the airport felt so long but eventually we got there, said our goodbyes then i jumped on the plane back to hell!

When i got back from Pego, Alicante SPAIN

So i got back from living in Spain and when i walked through the door i was greeted by mum who looked at me up and down and said "what are you doing here" and i responded "i live here!!" How nice! Just as things couldnt get any worse, a week later i had a punch up with my mums boyfriend who is an absolute cunt. Police got involved not just once but they got called back! To cut a long story short my mum took her boyfriends side and through me out the house. No money, no place to go, my dad wouldnt even take me into his home so i was sleeping around in different places evert night. Eventually i rented a room 20 minutes from home and it got very lonely there. I had no communication and no money for food i survived on economy bread and old chocolate spread. I still hadnt found a job at the time so i was heading down rock bottom. After a month i got thrown out because of the noise and smoking and they didnt even give the deposit back because i spilt irn bru all over the carpet so that needed replacing. I then moved to my dads flat and he had no choice but to take me in. At first i was miserable living with my dad because he is strict and i was in for a hard time, but then i got my wireless internet connection set up so i was in my room the whole time. Still with no job things were getting harder and frustrating. My friend from the north of Spain invited me to spend the weekend with him and i agreed. Made up some bullshit excuse to my dad, packed my stuff and heres how part 2 went down...

Pego, Alicante, SPAIN

I have a friend who goes by the name of Rory Breaker he used to battle at lyric pad same place as me so thats how we met. Anyway a few months after he moved to Spain he invited up there for what was supposed to be a holiday but i ended up moving there for a just over a month! I refused to come home because i was running away from my problems and responsibilities but it was just a matter of time until my money ran out! So the first day i was in Spain was cool, breaker showed me around his town, and we had a freestlye session in his flat.







So the next day we decided to go mountain climbing, we woke up early (well sort of) and we bought some food and water in a supermarket called Mercedona. We drove to where the highest mountain was and we parked the car at the bottom. Now to get to the mountain we wanted to climb we had to climb 3 mountains to get there! Here is a picture of the mountain...





At first i thought it would be easy but because i was wearing 3 quarter length jeans and a small top i was literally fucked! The sun was blazing hot! I had to carry one of those things to put petrol in and also there was thorn bushes EVERYWHERE! They went as high as my stomach so every step i took they would scratch the hell out of my legs and i would be bleeding! I dont know what the hell they were but they hurt as hell! I rate breaker he was climbing up with some heavy load on his shoulders i dont know how he managed! We decided at one point to swop so he took the backpack off his shoulders then i carried it! I got so sick of the thorn bushes so i decided to run through a field of it like an idiot! Because the backpack was so heavy i fell and lets just say it was one of those "now you see me, now you dont" moments! Breaker thought it was funny but i was covered in scratches and blood but i still kept going... it was comming up to the evening and getting dark and the last thing we wanted was to sleep in thorn bushes! Here are a few pictures of us climbing up check out the bushes below our feet!!





The worst was to come... It was starting to get dark and we still hadnt reached that huge rock mountain! We already went up and down 3 mountains and we were so close but then it was getting dark and we were surrounded by high thorn bushes so we were thinking shit what the fuck are we going to do!! And then i remembered 10 minutes ago we passed a clear patch with not that many thorn bushes! There was a big tree and some clear ground so i said lets set up camp here. We put everything down and breaker climbed a tree because we were going to make a big bonfire caveman style! As he went up the tree he was kicking branches down and one of the heavy branches hit me in my face and i got a small scar from that! But anyway we got loads of branches to last us a few hours and i remembered how to start a fire from when my lodger was living with us. So i got rocks and stacked them up in a circle, got the branches and piled them into a triangle shape, poured petrol on the wood and lit that shit up! Heres how it went down!!





And then he cooked some bacon after i accidentally sat on the packet!







So the rest of that night we kicked back listened to music, and after the batterys ran out on my portable ipod player there was silence. The only thing that could be heard was breaker freestlying and a dragonfly that kept flying passed us twice every hour it was freaky! We had a visitor on our sleeping bag in the early hours of the morning it was a brown ugly slug! I freaked out! So we got some sleep for 2 hours and woke up before the sun came out! We had to do all that OVER again and damn the ammount of pain and scrathces i had on my leg i just really wished a helicopter would come to pick me up! But it had to be done because there was no other way off that mountain! So we soldiered the long journey back, stopping off at the top of one of the mountains we saw a shepherd with his goats!





After all that pain and near death experience (did i forget to mention i fell down the mountain a few times and i got stuck on top of a cliff and had to jump it to get down! But after all that i had a wicked time and it was a good experience! Here is how my leg and hand looked like after that.





A few days later i was in a moped accident! I crashed straight into a car, fell off the bike and the bike landed on top of me with the wheel still spinning inbeween my legs! Luckily i came up alive with bruised and scratched up knees! Most of the days i was up there breaker had to work so i spent most of my time climbing up in the mountains. Here are a few pictures of me up there.







I even got a bit crazy and climbed a construction site and sat on the roof staring up at the stars, listening to music. From where i was sitting you can see the flat.



And then breakers friends came from london, it was good to talk to people from my town instead of listening to everyone speaking spanish around me! Heres just a brief of what we got up to....

Breaker and smokey was having a freestyle session!







And then damien came from his part of Spain and we all went jetskiing! It was wicked i was driving at full speed over waves nearly hit a diver and crashed into rocks! I had one of breakers friend on the back screaming "stoooop debbie stoooop" poor thing!! and then i went round those yellow balls near the shore they are supposed to be guides to show boats where to come in and go out.. and i thought they were obstacle courses so i kept swerving around them and later i got told off by some spanish lifeguards!









After that we went to damiens side in the town called Javea where we went to an empty nightclub! And then we went to a bar/club with a karaoke! Me and katie sang "i cant stop loving you"!! and the highlight was when smokey was rapping to "cant touch this" by mc hammer hahaha it was tooo funny! So me and katie played some pool with two pervy men while the boys got started on by the fuckin policia. So we all got out of there before anything kicked off and went back to damiens. Bit of shit kicked off that night but all was well the next day we all went to the beach had fun! Breaker and smokey "broke the beach" and me and katie kicked back and caught some sun.

The next day breaker had to work so me, katie and smokey went to the mountains and they refused to climb it with me! They were like "we'll watch you"...charming!! So we ended up sunbathing in the middle of the road in our pants and bra! And poor smokey came out red as lobster and still had glitter on him from the suncream! haha

I was getting just a bit homesick missing my friends and all that and its been over a month and i only had 20 euros left! I tried booking my flight but my credit card got decline so katie kindly paid for my ticket and i gave her the rest of the money i had. I'll pay her back what i owe her when i see her next. What an adventure man! Loved it up there and i know i'll be going back soon! Heres a few more pictures of the times i was up there... enjoy....


Breaker falling asleep after a long day!


Me at the internet cafe speaking to my friends.


Me and katie chilling.
