Easy to catch the metro into the city from the train station 🙂 It's a bit of a walk from the tracks to the Metro but it's all connected. You do need to get a card and then load money/tickets onto it. TIP: There is an option to get a pack of 10 tickets and … Continue reading Moseying over to chill…in Madrid

Gotta Bounce… to Barcelona
Easy to pay for the Renfe train (and cheap for 4.50€) from airport to Barcelona centre 🙂 It would even take you to the main train station! Got in smoothly and had to go to the agency's reception to pay cuz the link didn't work 
All good though as the metro system was easy … Continue reading Gotta Bounce… to Barcelona

Delicious start to the week, miam miam :d
Work has been coming along. I feel I'm getting a bit of traction to learn a bit faster and understand the flow a bit more. My French still needs work.

Quel busy day!! ohh la la
What a busy day! I woke up rather early but took some time rustling up breakfast. Then, off I hopped onto my bike and got going to get around passing out resumes.

Lots of walking in Lisbon
Was up early and off to the Museum of contemporary art. T'was ok. Some pieces I enjoyed and lotsa portraits too. Due to works on one of the exhibitions, we had to go to a separate building for another exhibition and it was neat as it encouraged you to touch things. Wasn't my favourite of … Continue reading Lots of walking in Lisbon
Day 2 of 3 Bopping around Barcelona
Woke up late and after figuring out Park Guell tickets, we went to the Federal cafe. Found this one on Google just from roaming around the map app and seeing what pops up. Felt like I was in Melbourne! Not surprising as the name is from a town in NSW so maybe they are influenced. … Continue reading Day 2 of 3 Bopping around Barcelona
