"Travels are going awesome. The best times are when stuff happens that throws you off course (Emm and Josh don´t agree with me on this though). For example, we just arrived in Barcelona 26 hours after we´d originally planned to get here,due to the train we´d wanted to take being fully booked. We´d just trained from a music festival in rural Belgium to Paris, then taken an overnight train to a little French town on the border of Spain,where they speak Spanish (Emma is awesome at Spanish, by the way).
So anyway, the train we want is booked up, so we have to wait 7 hours (it´ś 6am by this point) ´til the next one. We haven´t showered in 5 days, so we try find a cheap hotel room to hang out in and do our washing.
Eventually we get on the train to Madrid, which we arrive at at half-past midnight. The station is closed so we hail a taxi and drag along our backpacks and camping crap to this famous all-night chocolate bar, where they make the most amazing thick, thick, thick hot chocolate and churros (long, deep-fried Spanish pastry-doughnuts). We hang out there until 3am when we can take no more.
Then we slept outside the train station for a few hours, then inside the station when it opened at 5am,then on the train to Barcelona when it finally boarded.
ADVENTURES!"
