After the previous night's shananigans, I was in a shitty shitty mood the entire day. So I decided to go to the beach alone and avoid any human contact for fear of creating a situation... Fortunately the weather was in my favour and relaxing at the beach made everything better. My night ended up being spectacular. I ran into a guy who I had met the first night from South Africa who had just set up his own hostel, and his friend, who was an electrical engineer, was there visiting him. We talked about travelling, and nerdy EE stuff, and ended up getting VERY drunk. I had a bottle of red wine, a shot of Absinthe, a shot of caliente (vodka + tobasco), 2 cale muchos (red wine + coke), and probably something else too. The ... read more

Vale, another fun filled trip with Ms. Camille. We took to the streets of Madrid to start our adventure and watch some bulls get destroyed. The purpose of Madrid was the bullfight and meeting up with one of Camille’s friends Louis. After a quick lunch with Louis and dropping our stuff at the hostel, we hit the bullring. We originally had the intention of getting a little tipsy, but after that first seven euro drink we had enough (poor college students).

After checking out the surf beach from Zurriola Promenade in San Sebastian it was time to leave the surfers and that bizarre naked man who was just walking up and down along the beach (go figure) and head back past the Kursaal to the old part of town. On the way I passed the same old sandstone building that I had during the past three days. It was then that I realised that it was a theatre and that there was a show on that night. Imagine walk past the same building all the time and it finally dawns on you that it is a theatre, so much for thinking that I was one of the sharper tools in the shed, oh well. Thinking a bit of culture could be a good idea it was off ... read more
