Back to the UK

The day before yesterday, I spent 17 hrs traveling...

I climbed down the mountain I was staying on in Granada, caught a taxi to the bus station (because I had inadvertently missed the only train that would have gotten me to Madrid on time for my flight), barely made the bus, rode the bus for 5 hours to Madrid, took the metro to the airport, flight was delayed for a bit, flew to Bristol, caught a bus to the train station there, caught the train to Cardiff, the train from Cardiff to Swansea was very delayed, but finally caught a train to Swansea and a cab to my flatmates' new house. Left my hostel at 9 am and arrived at my mates' house at 2 am. So, yea... lots of traveling and that's the smooth, undramatic and thus short story of events.

Tomorrow, I'll be catching a train back to Bristol to fly to Dublin . The second of my 4 flights this week. So, tonight it's all about saying goodbye to all the Swansea kiddos... and laundry, that too. (The last time I did laundry was before I left to go to Spain, haha... well, I did wash some stuff in the sink about a week ago). But yea, only 4 days left to go on this side of the pond. My trip is quickly winding to a close. Really do wish that I could put some photos up, but I think that that'll be impossible until I get back. So, this will be one of my last posts from over here. Hope to see lots of you really soon!
