Hey Peoples,
We flew into Spain (Madrid) on a late flight, which was also delayed by 1hr due to double bookings or something, and landed at 1am gettin the taxi into the city centre to check into a hostel we looked up on the net which had a great review. Pure foreign countries... the name we had was completely different from the sign and we wasted 30min walkin around the street with our luggage. Since we booked Madrid spontaneously we did not actually have time to make an online booking and just thought to rock up and book on the spot as Neil did many times in Scandinavia and had no problems. Thing is that this hostel does not have 24hr reception like all the others we have stayed at so were were left homeless for bout 4 mins till running into an Aussie girl who was staying at the same hostel and told us the 2 managers were still awake boozin up. So yeah... thanks to this girl we checked in no probs just before neil started stressin out and givin me a migraine.
To back track a little... the Greek Islands was good times! Met heaps of people and has some top nights in Mykonos. We were actually stuck another 2 days on Myk due to strong winds which was ok as we knew plenty of people at that point and made the days go by. After Myk we went to Paros (were we just ate, slept and recovered), Ios which we hired a buggy and cruized most of the island and Santorini which we saw a magnificent sunset on a popular high point called Oia.
The journey to Portugal was LONG. An 8hr ferry cruiz to Athens, A 3 hr flight to Barcelona then a 1.5 hr flight to Portugal... what a night. It was fun on the ferry though... met a bunch of Americans studyin in Greece and hung out with them the whole time. On the flights we slept and snored a plenty.
Portugal was very different to the hot sun and party time we had in Greece. We ate some really good chicken, pork and seafood. It is apparently rude to ask for Salt & Pepper in Portugal, so instead you get to try the spicy Piri Piri sauce which burns holes in ur teeth if u put too much on! We also used Portugal as a place of recovery to catch up on sleep which was well needed. I actually wondered the streets the first night by my self as Neil was asleep and within 10mins of walking was asked for all sorts of druggie by about 5 different people. ¨coca... hash hash...¨. I also witnessed a man having a conversation with a statue and even offer it a ciggy... strange place! We went to a very popular club called LUX but unfortunately was closed.
We are off to Ibiza on SAT until TUES which will be pure party time. We booked tickets to the final closing party at a club called Space which has all the massive DJs playing. I guess we will write an entry on this next week sometime.
Anyways... all is good and hope everything is working out for everyone at home!
