Day 24 - Madrid

So this post won't be too exciting, I'm just updating for my travel from Valencia to Madrid.

The bus was probably the busiest bus I've been on, but it
wasn't so much of a long ride so it was ok.

When I got to Madrid I had to find my hostel, which wasn't so bad. Except the guy who checked me in instantly started going on about how much he likes girls with red hair...? I replied "Oh yeah, my boyfriend is the same" LOL

I had a bit of a nap, then Maria and Maxine messaged me to say to meet at the metro stop for dinner. We had a bit of a problem there, because I have no credit (my fucking phone provider won't let me top up?!?! I haven't been able to for days) So I waited, and some guy came and talked to me, and was asking me my name, and if I wanted to 'hang out' with him later that night... I told him i had a boyfriend, but he said he didn't care... Guys here are weird... So I ended up going back to my hosotel, Facebooking Maxine and letting her know I would meet her at her hostel. Which I did and we went to dinner.

We went to this cool little market, it just has a lot of shops that specialise in ONE type of tapas. I had mini hamburgers, and spicy potatoes and sangria. but there was a cheese stall, olives, seafood. Maria and Maxine got white anchovies in olive oil and vinegar they were soooo good. Then I got raspberry and vanilla ice cream for desert. Very cool place.

After that we headed back to Maria and Maxine's hostel for a few drinks, but I'm still kind of sick, and I was soo tired, they dragged me to ANOTHER hostel for a little while, but I was sooooooo tired, so I went home, had a shower and went to bed.

Maria and Maxine did let me in on the fact that the Pope is in town at the moment, so there are all these youth pilgrims here (because its also world youth day) that are following him around, and apparently its brought another 1.5 million people into the city when there's already like 3.5 million here or something close to that) so EVERYTHING is soooooooo busy... it's impossible to get around in some areas. And there were also protests the day before I got here (don't worry mum they were peaceful) And apparently the metro was impossible to use. So I'm not too sure I will be exploring too much in Madrid, maybe just chill out a little, it's sooooooo hot here too I don't know if I WANT to do anything other than chill.

Anyway...

All in all, reasonably ok day. Not too exciting though.

Things that made me happy today; Finding cool cheap food

Things that made me sad today; Not having any credit
