Well things did not go as smoothly as planned. The first thing we did was go to the wrong train station. Yep, there is more than one station in Madrid. We had to take a train from were we were to another station, and we even almost made our train. If we hadn't gone to the wrong platform we probably would have been able to get on our train, but we were not that lucky. Instead we had to spend about 4 hours in the station waiting on the next train.
No big deal really, but once we got to San Sebastian it took us about 1 1/2 hours to find our hostel. We were staying inside a park and the directions said follow the yellow arrows, but then the arrows disappeared and we had to find another way to get there. Thankfully, with some help from some really nice people, we made it. And all the grocery stores had closed by then so we were forced to order a pizza (no complaints on that one). Also Ally got to finally see one of her friends that she studied abroad with in Italy last year.
Since we got in so late we didn't get to explore the area until the next day. But it was beautiful once we got to see it. The beaches were all pretty crowded, but I just picked a spot on a wall near the bluffs and watched the waves roll in and crash against the rocks. Its definitely a place you could spend a bit of time in, but that afternoon we were off to Pamplona.
