Madrid to Lisbon

Okay people, I'm in lisbon now, leaving for porto tomorrow (port wine is from porto) and santiago de compostela day after then on 23rd flying to london to stay one night in cambridge and then leaving for paris the night after.

whoa. confused alredy? i know i am.

so i spent 1.5 days in madrid and i dont remember doing much. for one, my hostel was pretty central but it was a little crappy. the toilet was pretty much falling into little pieces, my room was shit ass noisy (3 guys.) and i was a target for every mossie and bedbug in the place. yes people, my face is again peppered with bites and what not. so ugly. i look like i have acne. madrid was pretty. but new. nothing much to get excited about. but i visited the prado museum and the highlight was goya's black paintings. he did these towards the end of his life and they were pretty dark and introspective. very modernist but beautiful. the rest were normal pretty pictures but bleah.

so flew out from madrid and plomped myself in lisbon. same old crpa abt hostels, mix up with reservation so got a craoppy hole for the night. bites again. scartached the whole night. but nice old city. very tunnel like streets and old houses. very very sugary portugese tarts. lousy strawberries. what else can i say? looking forward to meething up with friends though.
