... valleys and curved around the steep edge of the mountains. As the train chugged on at high-speed towards the heart of a luscious mound, I imagined us bursting through the center or scaling up the rocky side. Then we'd turn sharply right at its base. Sometimes I’d be staring at the Sun kissed landscape in awe and we’d enter a black tunnel severing me from reality until we emerged into the light again on the other side. The trainride ...

... and text from the time. The text was in Spanish; however the accompanying photographs said it all. - prison camps filled with starving people were some of the images that will remain with me. <br><br>After finding the Plaza Mayor we followed the city walls around in the direction of Alcazar - a palace built on a point at the edge of the town. Fortunately this was open and so we explored the castle and learned about some of the its colourful history. The castle looks amazing ...

... as he was talking he got faster and faster. It&#8217;s a good thing that Conrad can understand spoken Spanish better than me. I&#8217;d be completely lost without him (in more ways than one&#8230;..awwww). So, we finally found the A6 highway and made our way to Segovia. We did stop along the way and finally find a map.<br> We made it to Segovia about 11 am, which gave us plenty of time to explore the city. We made our way to the Aqueduct ...

... 18 kilometers. The whole thing is incredibly impressive, especially considering the amount of pure manpower went into making it. It's incredibly what people were able to build without any machines.<br><br>We also got to see the outside of the main cathedral in town. It's one of last Gothic castles built...constructed in the 1500's. We decided not to go inside, as it cost 4 euros to go in and we decided we'd had enough cathedrals in ...

Happy Fourth of July! Today was a wonderfully fun packed day of walking around a fortress and seeing one of the many awesome castles of Castilla, which also funny enough means, Castle. We walked around the castle of Isabella la Catolica y Fernando el Catolico...aka the Kings in power when Cristobal Colon = Christopher Columbus ran into the Americas, by pure luck and decided to call it the Indies. · I learned today that the royals were really ...

... with connections is that you get served extra tapas. I tried everything that they brought us, including fried miniature squid and some type of cold, pickled fish with olives. I like the tast of the squid but it was very difficult for me to eat because it looked so horrible. On the other hand, although I ate a whole slice of the fish, I am now positive that I hate the taste of that particular tapa. We were also served chorizos (sausage) in a sauce, a type ...

Our friends Shane and Kate (from the Emirates Episode of this blog) had done a similar trip three years ago, and had given a list of some of their favourite places. One of them was our next destination, Avilla, to the north west of Madrid. Our drive took us past another town called Salamanca. It's a university town, full of life and packed with things to do. All we wanted to do was have a picnic, but found it hard to find a park, so ...

I'm usually quite excited when I move into a dorm and meet new people but that excitement can evaporate very quickly if you hear somebody snoring or if you catch a whiff of something pungent. Salamanca was cool but after sharing a dorm with some snorers I'm glad to have my own room again. Fortunately there weren't any smelly ones there. In San Sebastian there was a guy in my room who had by far the worst body odour that my olfactory glands have ever had the utter ...

... toilet as soon as I could. (Even for an un-alert person like me I could still sense the danger at that moment!) As I said I was lucky because there was an old man who went in with me at the same time; maybe that was the reason I was saved. Thank God! As mentioned before, this ...
