ok so i missed that flee market, but hey we decided to cut our losses and head straight for a little twon right at the end of the train network that the youth hostel reconmended (gotta love that spelling) and that was a great success there was heaps to do up there, so much that we didn´t and couldn´t do all of it,. but many hours were spent going through this old villa´s grounds that was absulutly spectacular.
im just going to use this key because its a favorite of mine and they always use it in the spansih keyboards¿
we have now left lisboa and arrived riding on an overnight train via a nice looking spanish bird to...
sant sebastion.
quite quint really. broad avenue and would be nice if it was a bit warmer but here we are. lovely beave, 5 degrees in the sun and a nice pension to stay at.
there was only one youth hostel and it was a bit far seings how we arrived at the station at 0630 we couldn´t be buggered walking, i phoned it up and he said that he can´t tell me over the phone if we have any spots free you´ll just have to come all the way down here to find out. it was on the other side of town. so we didn´t bother went down to a local hostel right on the beach that was reconmened (there it is again) by another well travelled austrailan we met on the train station who had just finished the train syberia on a wheel chair.
it was full, so down to the tourist office by this time it was 0900. got a map got a nice smile from the girls working there and made a reservation to come stay here at the pension urkita. about 22 € a night and we have 3 beds and shower/bathroom all to ourselves.
eating the classic northern spanish way and that is to head into a eatery/bar/pub order a kinda cider wine and then choose amongst lots of little dishes that cost varying ammounts depending on whats in them, €1 - €4 until full, then pay for how many you have had and leave to start it all over again next door.
very fun. or the filling favorite the tortilla podata. patatoe yeah¿ very good.
so we might go down to the irish pub here after were done with the podata and last night that ended up being the only place open after 2400. we have an early one tommrow, getting up at 0515 to be off on a train hopfully they are not still on strike to paris. can´t wait.
