I woke up tired at 8:00, put on my coat and wrote out brief notes to my parents and brother to put in my packages from Egypt. I went to the post office which opened at 8:30 and mailed off my gifts from Egypt.
At home, I ate a quick breakfast and packed a day bag as I would be joining Heiko and Caro in their trip to Salobreña. We took the the city bus to the regional bus station and caught the 10:00 beach bus. An hour later we arrived in the small, quaint beach town of Salobreña.
From the bust station we walked to the beach. It was a beautiful day with only a slightly cool breeze. On the beach with little pebbles, we set up camp. I rested, relaxed and wrote in the warm sun. I went to find the rest rooms and met up with Jan, Vanessa and their other other German friends who had come to join us. Heiko, Jan, Vanessa and I played volleyball and soccer. We jumped into the water, which was quite cold. Escaping the waves, I looked past the palm trees to see the Sierra Nevada still covered in snow.
We had a picnic lunch. It was a nice way to end my spring break. From Egypt to Southern Spain! We all took an after lunch siesta, waking up to play a little more volleyball. I tried to learn a little bit of German. Heiko, Caro and I said goodbye to everyone and we walked back to the bus stop with Jan to catch our 5:30 bus. The bus ride back was pleasant.
Back in Granada and before going home, I did some last minute grocery shopping and then came back home to shower and change. At 9:00 we met up with our Erasmus friends and went to a great Middle-Eastern tapas bar. Back home before midnight, I organized everything for the next day at school and fell quickly to sleep.
