today we booked our train for irun on the boarder of spain and france: from there we just basically hope we can get a train to Madrid that isnt fully booked (as a lot have been recently; so,e hjoliday in france or something). if we canget an overnight one we can save money on a hostel. We recently started recording how much we are spending and although paris was very expensive... we are confidant we can last 3 ,onths co,fortably: essentially we budget 25Euros...

real quick post, we are rat bordeaux and its a dump at 11:30pm. keyboard keys all wrong so hard to type. we are making our long way to madrid were hostels are half price and we can chill for a bit; exhausted after frantic sightseeing in paris and at mount st Michael. dont forget to check out kates blog at offexploring.com/katelucywhitham for more pics and stuff. we sometimes share cameras to save battery etc: stupid foreign keyboard: Arrive Madrid tomorrow...
