HAVE WHEELS, WILL TRAVEL

our trusty vehicle with me and the GPS, god bless navsat sally!

The night train from barcelona is good thing and a not so good thing to do. it leaves at 10.00pm from sants - barcelona and arrives in san sebastian at 7.43am. good - you travel at night, you don't lose any day time and you can sleep. well you would think so since we booked beds in the sleeping car. bad - spanish trains are crap. bad - you share a room the size of a meat safe with 5 other people, how many bunks can you fit on top of each other? as many as possible. why not? so it was my brilliant idea to catch this train and arrive with an hour to spare before we picked up the car.
i had forgotten however that in europe they drive on the otherside of the road, drive quite fast and are not accommodating towards nervous or conscientous drivers, so to say i was tired, worried and anxious would be put mildly. what was i worried about? the trip went extremely well, the only hitch being our GPS having a bout of tourettes, recalculating and more recalculating, we'd soon discovered she was set for pedestrian mode! it seemed impossible that a 13km journey could take 3.5 hrs, but if we'd been walking it would have been more!

so here's san sebastian and the place that wills you to eat, eat,eat
