We left the hotel at seven am this morning, for a quick walk up to the Youth Hostel, where the Eurobus was picking everyone up to go to San Sebastian. After a minor hiccough, one passenger leaving her passport in her room, we were on our way.
We were stopped briefly at the France/Spain border for a quick inspection of visas and arrived in San Sebastian at midday, only an hour late.
We found a room in Pension Lizaso in the heart of the old city.
After a quick phone call home and hamburger lunch, we walked around to the “beautiful people” beaches at Bahia de la Concha, before walking east of the city to the surf beach, Playa de Gros, to laze the afternoon away.
After our swim, we came back and got ready for dinner. We walked around the area where we are staying (Parte Vejia) and found a Spanish version of Pizza Hut that served some traditional food in a fast-food style. Both of us ended up having paellas, mine being chicken.
After this we went to a nightclub called Zibbaba, where a whole heap of Eurobus people were meeting. We spent the night there, drinking and watching France win the World Cup until 1.30 the next morning. It was a great night. We met heaps of people and all swapped travel stories. It’s a bit different to Contiki in that because you travel at your own pace, it’s harder to keep constant contact with people and build friendships, but it’s good in the sense that nearly every time you step on the bus, you meet new people.
