July 8
Today was our travel day to San Sebastián and it was a total wash. We slept in as much as we could this morning and then found a café to kill many hours with our bags. We played lots more Rook, drank coffee, ate lunch, FaceTimed mom and dad, and eventually made our way to the train station.
Our train was supposed to leave at 4:30 PM and arrive in San Sebastian at 9 PM. This is important because our hostel closed check-in at 10 PM. Our train ended up being delayed once we arrived at the station and it didn’t leave until 5:45 PM. We ended up eating sandwiches and Oreos in the train station for dinner. Once we knew that we would not make it to our hostel, we raced to find accommodation for tonight on Airbnb. We ended up finding a last-minute option that cost us each $100. Dagny and Alastair wanted to sleep on the beach, but I was grateful that we had beds and a shower.
Once we were on the train, they made the announcement that the AC went out. We arrived in San Sebastian at 10:45 PM and to our relief, it was cool and there was a misty rain.
We walked through the beautiful streets to our place, situated on top of a hill. A local tipped us off that there was an escalator running the height of the hill along the sidewalk so that we wouldn’t have to climb it. Super funny in a residential area.
Once we made it to our place, Mags and D showered while Alastair and I went to grab midnight doner kebabs. A great relief to be in a prettier city with much more to do. Can’t wait to explore tomorrow!
