Hola from Madrid! It is currently 10:06 PM and the sun has just gone down. I am still so fascinated with the time of sunset here – just blows my mind. Anyway, it has been an interesting day filled with some fun and some yum things. The hotel check out time this morning was 12pm…I […]

Exploring Madrid

Hola readers! It is currently 9am and we’re chilling in bed at the hotel room after another late night. The Spanish do things at strange times. They eat 7 meals a day and the sun doesn’t set until 10pm so nobody sleeps until like midnight. It’s another world. We started our day with breakfast at […]

First day in Spain

17th Jun 2019.Reading time 17 minutes.

Buenos Días! We are currently sitting down to breakfast at our hotel in Spain. Yesterday was a very long day. We had our alarms set for 4:30am and you never get a good sleep when you have an early alarm set out of fear of oversleeping. We had to make it to Termini station to […]

Ciao from Rome! It’s currently 8:45pm and we’ve been chilling at our hostel pretty much all day. We really needed to recharge after a whirlwind trip around Italy before we head to Spain.

Last day of Contiki in Rome

Buongiorno readers! It is currently 10am and we are just waking up. It is nice to get a sleep in. We are not on Contiki any more, which is bittersweet. It is sad because we will miss everyone, but we are finally able to relax. We started the day with a relatively late wake up […]

All roads lead back to Rome

12th Jun 2019.Reading time 10 minutes.

Buongiorno readers! It is currently about 2:42pm in Roma. This blog is coming up awfully late because we have been super busy today (also had a slight sleep in!). Yesterday wasn’t the biggest day, but it was definitely one of the best days. We started the day off in our shitty hotel near Cinque Terre […]
