So, where did I leave you? Ah yes, Aruba. End of February and I sunny myself in the ABC Islands in the good old Caribbean! I spent three nights in hot sunny Aruba, the most touristy of the three islas. I stayed with an interesting and slightly crazy guy from Brazil, met him on the internet through CouchSurfing.com. On my first night with him, he took me to a music festival, which took place on the beach – Eagle Beach to be precise – on the island’s north-west side.

Café tables in Plaza de la Alfala. Behind is Iglesia San Isidoro (St. Isidoro Church), at Calle Augusto Plasencia 2, 41004 Seville. This Gothic-Mudejar church belongs to the group of numerous churches built on ancient mosques after the reconquest of Seville – its origin lies in the 14th century. It’s located in the old part of Seville.

British Tony Giles, 32, deserves his nick-name ”The Traveller” indeed: he has already travelled over 50 countries despite of his visual impairment, 80 percent hard of hearing and kidney transplant operation that was made a couple of years ago.
