From Madrid to caves in Burgos

Well! I certainly found something to do! lol Thanks to Couchsurfers i came across an awesome guy called Barbo who invited me to stay at his place the last two nights in Burgos, north of Madrid. So not knowing what to expect i left Madrid on Monday night and arrived very late and met up with Barbo who turned out to be endlessly generous and kind, although a little crazy (loco). I say crazy because he loves his adventure sports and i agreed to do anything that he thought would be exciting. So on Tuesday i woke up in Burgos and it was snowing!!! lol It was amazing. But that didn´t stop us heading out of town to a cave where we met some of his friends (who are all expert cavers and mountain climbers), and we got all prepared and heading into a VERY small mouth of a cave for 6hours! It was one of the most challenging and exciting things ive ever done that i´ll never forget. I´ll have some photos up asap, but unfortunately Barbo´s camera was dropped and went for a llllong drop and a swim, so we only have a few photos from in the cave.
So after that exhausting day i stayed at Barbo´s again and today im just looking around Burgos, which is an absorlutely gorgeous town. Tonight i hope to travel to San Sebastian (the north coast of Spain) as i hear its really beautiful. Nothing more to say i guess, other than i better get going so i have enough time to travel tonight and find somewhere to stay! lol
Hope everyones well! xoxoxoxoxoxo
