lo all. rite so we r now in cordoba, just south-east of madrid. we fouind another internet cafe so heres further updates from our diary...
23-07-06 Bilbao - Madrid
I cant believe its only day 5. we feel like we have been away for weeks. we had an early start to catch the train from Bilbao at 8.55. It was sad levaing, we had a good time and its a really nice place - big enough to have stuff to do but small enough to not be a horrible city (like Paris). Train journey was 6 hrs but we watched a couple of films. wen we got in2 madrid it was 37deg and we were tired so we paid sum1 at train station 2 find a hostal. This eve we went for a stroll and stopped for a drink. We met a sweet guy from just outside Krakow hoo needed to no how 2 get to a doctor cos he had stacked and hurt his knee. i gave him sum phrases, offered him our 1st aid kit and we found him a pharmacy for sum free help. other than that madrid is a bit hot and city-like for us. we will be glad to leave tomorrow.
24-07-06 Madrid - Cordoba
we had a rubbish nites sleep last nite. i had a shower at 2.30 cos french ppl shouting in the hall woke me up. neway we picked up munch (fruit!) on the way to the station and then got a train here. We waited an hr 2 get tickets to seville and then got the bus 2 a random stop. i saw a hostal and we headed there. its not the cheapest place but its got brekkie and best of al...... AIR CONDITIONING!!!!!! eeee! at 5.10 it was 43deg - scortchin! we met a cool american teacher and chatted for a while so wer havin fun. I must say that the landscapes we have seen are amazing - rolling hills with paths carved by rivers, or flat plains of fields or trees or city scapes. The trains are the best way to see it all, theyr nice in themselves - 3rd class is luxury - music and films and AIR CON!! this is definatly the best way to see europe.
We wil probbers update on the second day of seville (3 days time) and then leave it until Nice when we have a 4 day stop. xxx
