Spain Day 1

First day of holiday in Spain. Got here last night but it doesn't really count all the much and not much happened other that getting a bit lost because the GPS decided to avoid all main roads and sent us down tiny, winding country roads instead. When we finally got to the hostel in Javea, we just sat out on the balcony chatting and catching up.

Had diving class this morning at 9.30am to go over the basics from the book. Then a lunch break where we went to eat at a little place at the beach. Then back for diving at 4pm, where we got all kitted up and taken to the swimming pool. The neopreme wetsuits are just such a good look - oh and not to mention the squidgy neopreme shoes as well! Vero has to get a new suit tomorrow, they're giving her a smaller size because she's too short and today's suit was too long and bunched up everywhere. Her new nickname is now going to be Michelin Man! Breathing underwater for the first time is rather weird, and difficult when you're having a fit of giggles ("I feel like a penguin" - Vero) and then the instructor 'haciendo el jillipollas' didn't help either... But it was all good fun, and rather cool, even just in the swimming pool. Vero is doing alright as my diving partner - although I'm not sure if I can fully trust her to save me yet and on top of that I'm most likely going to lose her when we're out at sea, she'll get distracted by a pretty fish and swim off!!! Hopefully she won't, she'll most likely just grab the back of my jacket and drag me with her!
Tomorrow there's class again at 9.30, then a mini exam to make sure we have understood everything and one last time in the swimming pool - then we'll be let out to the sea after that!! A bit tired after today but not too bad - need a shower, but after being in the water for over an hour, I'm not too keen on getting wet again. My fingers went all wrinkly today from it, and I don't like it :p suppose we better make something to eat for dinner later as well. And have an earlier nights sleep too!!
Anyway, that's all from me today! More tomorrow, let's see if we pass this exam ;) should be no bother.
Un besito x
