You know how a lack of sleep can make your brain do funny things? Well this is what happened when I sat down to write a blog post after an 11-hour flight from London to Hong Kong.
I wrote a couple of Spanish travel-themed acrostic poems. You know, like the ones you probably wrote back in primary school – the letters in a topic word begin a new word which relates back to the topic word?
That’s right; I am a crazy person when I haven’t had enough sleep. I wrote out “Barcelona”, “San Sebastian”, “Valencia” and “Ibiza” this is what my fatigued, sleep-deprived brain came up with…
Beaches
Architecture of Gaudi
Ramblas
Cable car to Castell de Montjuic
Eating tapas
La Sagrada Familia
Out late
Night magic fountain show
Always drink sangria!
Aquarium
Nearest airport is Bilbao
Sangria, of course
Eating pintxos
Beach pontoons
Aste Nagusia fireworks
Semana Grande party
Tapas, hell yes!
In the Basque country
A little tourist train
Never have a bad meal
Itsy bitsy bikinis
Bonkers
Infamous Cafe Del Mar
Zzzzzz
Awake late clubbing
Valencian oranges
Almond seed and rice drink, horchata
La Tomatina (one of my best travel memories)
Eat paella
Never leave your bags unguarded
City of arts and science
Ibiza ferry stop
America’s Cup Village
So what do you think? Amazing travel poet or a crazed lunatic who could do with a good night’s sleep? Or maybe I’m both… next time it’ll be travel-related haiku poetry!
Bonus points for originality! Not so much for your poetry skills… haha
Gee, thanks a lot! 😉
