Back in Madrid

Well, im back in Madrid again. As you can probably see from my photos i made my way up to San Sebastian, which a totally amazing and beautiful seaside town. I did enjoy my time there, however, it is in Basque country, which means people tend to speak Basque, which i know zero of compared to my next to zero knowledge of Spanish.
Anyway, it seems that English speaking people in San Sebastian are scarce, even when your staying in an Aussie backpackers lol So it was a totally gorgeous place, but it was pretty lonely and frustrating because i couldnt talk to anyone at all. I also felt like a scraggy backpacker and that everyone was staring at me. All the people there are loaded and walk around town dressed in beautiful clothes while im getting around in clothes that are in need of a good wash lol I especially attracted attention when i was sitting on the amazing beach prominard dunking bread sticks into a jar of jam and woofing it down, you wouldnt believe the stares i was getting!! I just had to laugh at that.
So, to have any hope of maintaining sanity, i spent 6 hours on a bus today to get back to Madrid where some people speak English! I stepped into the backpackers and was talking to a lady, and it sounded strange to be speaking at all, almost forgotten how to talk lol
So where to from here? Your guess is as good as mine. Im meeting up tonight with one of the guys from Vaughan Town and maybe we will end up doing something, otherwise ill get my arse back to England and find some work to make up for what ive spent this last week.
Ive learnt some valuable lessons these last few days though;
1. Dont travel alone in a non English speaking country simply because its too isolating
2. Dont just take off without planning at least a little ahead, you end up spending too much money, and
3. For the rest of Europe im going to get on one of those bus trips that you can get one and off and where accommodation is there for you, most like Busabout or Intreped
Bit of a school week for me it seems. Anyway, nothing more to report, hope alls well with everyone!!! xoxoxoxo :=D
