      Netflix and Chill? Netflix and Chill.

      Honestly I am about to write the most uninteresting blog post of life: you've been warned.

      So like I mentioned before, we got to Madrid after an 8 hour bus ride at around 7am, and after navigating our way through the city (like the locals we are) arrived at our air bNb. Our host, Keri waited for us before leaving for work and she is honestly a godsend. We have access to her whole apartment which we took full advantage of. And we have access to her cat, keko.

      First step: showers. In a nice shower. I have never felt so grateful to shower in my entire life. Now, I am not saying we haven't showered - we have - but the showers have been significantly sub par. This was like angels pouring water over us and dousing us with their essence.

      Ok that may be overkill but it did feel great.

      Next, laundry and naps. Then a trip to the grocery store. Then Keri came home and we chatted before making dinner (tacos). Now we are laying on the couch watching Netflix.

      Told you it would be boring. Oh well.. Much needed rest.

      Tomorrow: MADRID EXPLORATION TIME!!! WEEEE

      Blind in one eye

      July 8, 2016 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      This morning after navigating to our airbnb like locals, we arrived at our hosts house, Keri. Let me tell you, she is the most welcoming, most friendly & the funniest person ever.

      After our experince in Barcelona, we were so happy to be here. I hadnt showered since Brussels because the shower in Barcelona was just a platform & there was no place to put the shower head & when you did shower, the WHOLE bathroom would be soaken wet.

      We instantly felt at home. We did some laundry, took a shower & most importantly took a nap. In the early afternoon, we went to the grocery store to get something to make for dinner & some elecrolytes for me because I still wasnt feeling well. We grabbed some fresh veggies & fruits & made tacos & salad. It was seriously the best meal ive had in a while.

      We decided to spend the night in just totally relaxing & hanging out with our host. We will start the adventure tomorrow morning.

      Im also feeling much better 🎉

      Good night yall xoxo
