Spain.

After a long year I got away to a relatives villa in Spain.

As usual our flight was delayed going and check in took for ever, we even had to take our shoes off, walk through a scanner and get searched by a scary woman in customs. So after getting up at 3am, having 2 hours sleep I was relieved to get on the plane and wanted to get moving, only to sit there for another 45 minutes because some passengers boarded late and we had to wait for the sky to clear before we could get moving.

Anyway, we arrived safely, which is the most important thing. The heat hit us as soon as we arrived. We dumped our luggage, changed into summer clothes and explored the area.

The rest of the holiday mainly consisted of relaxing near the pool and at the beach. So, I made sure I wore sun tan lotion, as you do. Well, the second day into the holiday I put sun tan lotion on inside the villa before we went out (as it tells you to on the bottle.) This must have made my shoes slippery but I didn't notice until it was too late, or should I say until I slipped down the marble stairs outside the villa!!! Some things never change!! I was sat on the floor outside, I looked to my left and saw the elderly neighbors were watching and very concerned. Now came the tricky bit; trying to communicate with the Spanish lady and tell her where I was hurt. She got out this cream and started to rub my lower back (a bit too low!)

Apart from falling down the stairs the holiday was really enjoyable and went too quickly. I'm pleased to be back, even though I've still got loads of uni work to do!
