Day 136: Travel Rules
After last night's antics, I'm surprised I stayed awake. Matt and I jumped on the mega-mega fast train to Madrid (300kph! - whoosh!) and I drove him up the wall…
Day 135: Daddy Issues
Early-early-sickly-feeling start to the day, and onto the 5:20 bus to the Andorran border. Quick change of buses and by about 8am I was in Andorra - another of Europe's…
