Day 70

So half the point of me doing this project was to try and teach myself not to take so many photos while travelling. Most days I have been pretty disciplined and sometimes only taking a handful of photos, and sometimes just the one, but today was not one of those days. On an undisciplined day…

Day 69

Today I did two free walking tours, one in the morning and then one in the evening at about 6pm. The 6pm tour was hot, about 42 degrees. After the walking tours I continued to explore by myself, and made sure I would be back at Plaza De Espana for the sunset to grab a…

Day 68

Ahhh, the reality of traveling. 8.5 hrs on trains today from one end of Spain to the other. Had a 2 hour stopover in Madrid where the ticket salesperson failed to let me know that my train left from Madrid’s other train station, luckily I double checked my ticket with just enough time to get…

Day 51

We were woken at the disgusting time of 5am for the bus to Pamplona (after going to bed at 3am again). Running of the bulls was horrific and glad I didn’t end up running. Pretty sure we saw some people die in a huge 100 human pile up at the gates which the bulls then…

Day 48

Today I did a free walking tour of San Sebastian then climbed a hill overlooking la concha bay afterwards. The hill was a former military outpost and covered in old Military buildings, monuments and relics which was pretty sweet and equally sweaty.

Day 44

Decided to do a free walking tour which turned out to be pretty awesome. There is soooo much going on in Barcelona that it is a bit overwhelming and difficult to know where to start so the walking tour was a good starting point. I also did a second free tour just a few hours…
