A Year Abroad: San Sebastian.

The closer we got to San Sebastian, the more the landscape became more French again. The weather became warmer, and the houses changed. It was almost like a lap over landscape where you got the best of both countries for a while.

5 minutes away from arriving, someone jumped in front of our train and we pulled up inside a tunnel. Nat and I passed the time with a deck of cards, and finally 3 hours later, at midnight, we made it to San Sebastian.

The next morning, Nat went to the beach, while I decided to climb to Mount Igueldo, a lookout over San Seb. There's a funicular that goes up, but I chose the steep walk. And it was worth it. The walk kind of swept over the mountain, which took you round to the other side, so you could see a while down the Spanish coast. The view from the top was amazing as well. It's a bit like a carnival up there, with a few rides and a hotel. On my way back to the hostel, I laid in a park in the shade and read for a while, then headed back to the hostel for a siesta. That night, Nat and I went to watch the sunset, over San Seb, and then met up with some English guys who we met at our hostel and went and had drinks with them.

The next afternoon (31st July), we packed up and headed home!
