Hostal Fornos Segovia

... I always assume that if I take a train to a destination it will drop me off directly in front of the main attraction. So I walked over to a bus stop to see if I could find a map. An older couple and their daughter also stood there trying to figure out where to go. It took me a second to realize they were speaking English not Spanish. Normally when I hear American tourists I avoid them but they seemed nice and possibly able to help me get to the ...

... form all nations, but perhaps mainly English because we had a lovely fry up - the first for a while).<br><br>Feeling refreshed and full, we walked up the cobbled streets and steps leading towards the old town heading in the direction of Museo de Segovia which is said to contain 15,000 year old stone age engravings along with a host of other historical finds. Unfortunately it was closed on Mondays, so we were out of luck there! Still the views from alongside the Museo were ...

... turns (or more). It was quite amuzing to watch. <br> Once at the castle, Conrad squeezed the car into a tiny space with the assistance of his beautiful ground guide (his exact words). We wandered the grounds for a bit. They were beautifully manicured. It seemed quite peaceful. The vistas were amazing. We purchased our tickets and made our way in. There was a rather rowdy group of 20 something year old males that made their way in before us ...

... some there for 3 euro. They said Madrid on them and everything. What an odd souvenir. Britney Spears' "Womanizer" song was on. I was accidentally singing to it, so the guy at the shop turned up the song and tried to get us to dance. Needless to say, we did not. When we left the shop, I looked at the shirt, and it wasn't quite as it was pictured. It is red and has a black shape of a bull. I thought that was it, but the shirt also says Espana on it ...

... a few hours more than it should have done. Johana and I found a flat hard (surprise) rock high above the river and pondered for a second if we should just take out our sleeping bags and crash right there on the rock. Dinner at the refugio finished a couple of hours ago anyway. But then she got a signal on her mobile and managed to call the guys at the refugio. They promised us dinner if we could make it before midnight. So with vague descriptions on how to find ...

... he! Although Shang was not a pretty girl as I had hoped, having someone to talk to and share travel stories was great... it was just like I had been dumb for a few days and suddenly I could speak again! He told me many interesting things in Madrid, and also in his research in the ...

... we went to see the palace, really stunning, a little like BUckingham, but bigger and it was white, had really pretty gardens too... we then went to the cathedral (probably the 30th of the whole trip - not bored of them just yet!!) which had the most amazing painted ceiling and gorgeous stained glass windows, the light in the church looked amazing. I also saw a nun in the cathedral, which for some reason excited me a lot!! MAdrid is like ...

... two movies, Las Lenguas de las Mariposas, which takes place just prior to the civil war, and Bienvenidos Mr. Marshall, which is a really old movie that takes place in the late 40´s. When we watched Mariposas we learned all about Franco and the Spanish Civil War. Bievenidos tackles the aftermath of the civil war in a pretty funny way and Mr. Marshall refers to the Marshall Plan which did not include Spain. We have also learned about boleros (sad love songs), flamenco, and Spanish cooking.
