with emilie and boris who drove us from beziers all the way to barcelona. we love you both soo much!













faeez tasting his first paella de mariscos in barcelona!












with henry, our awesome truck driver who spoke not a single english word! we love you sooo much Henry! and your truck and music were muy bien!












costa del sol - the guys with gregely liptak, the awesome 190cm hungarian who looks 3 years younger after he shaves :) greg, you're so funny!














with greg! thanks greg, for driving us alll the way from valencia to malaga. i miss the conversations we had throughout the night. we miss you!!!














costa del sol - beautiful place where we watched the sunrise with greg! thanks greg. we love you!!!!
















malaga - after gregely dropped us off, we took some time out to make our new signs. faeez drew a very ugly octopus. :)













casablanca: Hassan II Mosque is the largest religious monument in the world after Mecca. we even saw a rainbow that morning.















jamaa el fna - we ate so much! so much. just so much. calamaries, bastillas, shish kebabs, tajines, mint tea, loads more.













that's us on another rooftop in marrakesh. we had mint tea and were asked to pay ridiculously high prices for what we were wearing.











i bought 3 solitaires! and that was what we were playing at the rooftop of our hostel in marrakesh.












ahhh snails... i didnt like them. faeez and lutfi did. they went back for more the next night. not me.














jamaa el fna - without it, marrakesh would be just another city in morocco. we loved marrakesh!

we r on our way to malaga!

sunday has been masya ALlah

after breakfast at the hostel, we had churros con chocolate before setting off...
kesimpulannya we took a bus out to tarragona - like the herb: tarragon
then we got stuck till about 4pm, took a taxi to the services which cost us 23euros!

found out it was illegal thank god sara gave us a ride in her pajero to reus.
reus was a super dead town and we were ready to get our sleeping bags out and sleep under the bridge for the night.
after about half an hour an old man and lady took us elsewhere in their bmw. they used to hitch hike and told us they´d drop us at a more suitable place where the traffic was definitely heading towards castellon and valencia.
again we were dropped off at a dodgy place where we were ready to get our sleepig bags out and sleep under the roof of a random factory.

after about half an hour a photo journalist took us to cambrills. his name was pere. soooo baik!
when he dropped us off at cambrills, he said that if we were stuck and didnt get a ride out to give him a call and we could sleep at his house. sweeeeetttt gilaaaaaaaaaaaa!
¨he´s the greatest guy in the universe!¨said Wani.
¨I see right through you Wani¨said Faeez
¨hahaha¨said Lutfi.

after about half an hour henry took us on our first truck ride to valencia!
henry said wani´s spanish was MUY BIENNNNNNNNN
wooohooooo! with the limited spanish I ada, we foudn out that he is from peru, 38 years old, lives in barcelona, his wife is from huelva and works in administation? and has an 11 year old daughter, and the band playing one of the songs was from andalucia.

along the way during one of the stops henry took, we met gregg, a hungarian travelling to malaga! wooohooooo greg rockssssssss.
we talked a lot in the car. about how horrible life was in hungary under the soviet rule.
faeez and wani sang many disney and malay songs while lutfi slept.
told greg a lot about islam and malaysia.

insya Allah we´ll be in algeceiras before 4pm and will reach tangier asap!
and now we r stopping somewhere...on the way almeria... greg is sleeping. adios amigos. hasta luego! from us three.

Allah sangat menunjukkan kuasaNya kepada kami hari ini - semalam. its 4.30am and faeez and I havent really slept at all. good night.
