Bon Voyage!


So I’m about to start my adventure! My friend Marco and I leave at 1 am tonight and take a bus headed for Madrid. From there we are going to visit Toledo, which is only about an hour from Madrid, and then we’re going to head up towards the north of Spain (what’s that saying? ‘it rains on the plains in the north of spain’ or something? Anybody know what I am referring to? Audrey Hepburn I believe…) for a few days. On the 23rd I leave him and fly from Santander to London where I’m going to meet my cousins for Christmas. I stay there until the 27th and then things gradually get a little bit less organized. From London I fly to Bologna, Italy and then I’m either going to go to Florence then Milan or Venice then Milan. From Milan I am planning on heading up to Zürich, Switzerland for New Years. I have a 10-day pass (which can be used over the course of 2 months) in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, France and Spain. The plan is to travel throughout those countries for about 3 weeks upon which I will return to Sevilla for my second quarter – I have to be here by January 20. I will do my best to keep everybody updated and post pictures from everywhere that I go! If anybody thinks I absolutely have to do something in any of those countries please tell me! Ok, here I go, hasta luego!

  1. Well done Lad, entertaining and well written. You deserve the accolades. Reminiscent of the time in Oaxaca when I went out to buy a lightbulb for our apartment. Granny was off in Spanish class so I carefully wrote down how to ask for it. That went okay but then the clerk responded with a question that sounded to me like a casset turned to high speed. I had no idea what he was asking. In exasperation he finally pulled all of the bulbs off the shelf so I could pick one out. I left the store thoroughly humiliated! Pops
