Day 55

Fraser had to do some work today so I traded him in for Bridget for the day. We went and did a free Street Art walking tour which was awesome. There is tonnes of great art around including illegal and legal spaces. We came across a german artist in the process of spraying a piece over the…

Day 54

Today Fraser and I did a day trip to nearby Sintra with a few girls I met on the walking tour of Lisbon. Sintra has a mountain covered in Castles and palaces, and after hiking all the way up (while attempting to hitchhike without luck) and exploring the moorish castle I can probably say that I will never need…

Day 53

Lisbons street art is sweet, its grungy as hell, cheap, friendly, full of drug dealers trying to peddle coke (which is actually limestone) and DMT (which is actually butter menthol). Fraser arrived in Lisbon today so we went for a wander, saw the old church ruins, some more rad street art and tried the local…

Day 52

Had an interesting train ride in my sleeper train cabin to Lisbon. I shared it with two half cut Aussies who were trying to smuggle two American stow-aways on board. The conductor was onto them though and they were eventually found out a few hours later in their hiding places. They made it all the…

Day 49

Today I successfully surfed after a short surfing lesson. Now when people ask me if I surf (a common question because of my dreads) I can tell them, “why yes, I certainly have surfed”. Tonight I decided to take a break from the frat party going on at the camp and went down to the…

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.

I arrived late last night at my camp in a small town called Zarautz where my Basque friend Leire lives. According to her it is the nicest costal town norther spain has to offer. We spent the day hanging out and catching up at the beach, she gave me the grand tour of Zarautz and…
