the independent traveller
ola from madrid! day one of being the lonely traveller went well, and im back in the hostel relatively early since it´s not that safe to be wandering around the streets by myself late at night. i walked for 7 straight hours all around the city and my socks were stinky when i took them off after getting back. eww. it´s been an adventure all the way from LA to London to here - klutzy me didn´t fail to mess up somehow, but it all worked out in the end cos im in the hostel in one piece. phew! my backpack and haversack make me look like a pregnant hunchback, and im sure im going to build mega deltoids by the end of this trip but makes me feel more authentic. haha. typing on the spanish keyboard is kinda hard cos the symbols are not in the places im used to them being. ive been cheapo today and didnt go to any of the sites that required an entrance fee. and my meals were 3euros and under. woohoo. i feel proud of myself. =P im in good company of bear and my camera and that has kept me pretty occupied, on top of planning the rest of my trip that is. ive got 2 nights of accommodation in madrid and 3 more in valencia but nothing else after that. im hoping i can find a place to stay for one more night in madrid cos i want to go watch a real madrid game and visit the market on sunday.
time´s up on the free internet. laters!
