Porto to Madrid

Today, we had to carpool for 9 hours with 3 people who spoke no English. It was definitely a weird experience, but we made it to Madrid after a very long day. Pearse and I split the middle seat of this dudes Ford focus. Im gonna be honest the middle seat was miserable lol. They told us they'd drop us off at the hostel, but I guess they had a change of plans cause they just let us out on the sidewalk 35 minutes away at the bottom of a hill with our bags. It wasn't the end of the world, but they told us they had to pay a toll to go down that road. It was definitely just a main road. Just tell us you're going the other way lol. We hiked up to the hostel and got a few recommendations for food, and got a bite to eat with some sangria. We forced ourselves to sit on the patio even though it was only 9 degrees lol. Our hostel offered free sangria every night, so we went down and met some people in our hostel before the pub crawl. A nice way to save some money on a pub crawl is to get drunk on free sangrias. We paid 20€ to join the pub crawl, which got us 5 free shots and free entry into the clubs. We had an absolute banger of a night with some really cool people from all over the world. A trick we learned in porto for fun time at the bar is to start a limbo circle. You know it was probably a good time if you both came back to the hostel at separate times, and neither of you have the slightest clue what time you got back at lol. It felt good to release all the pent-up energy from the car ride.もっと詳しく
