Backpacking Europe - Nature of Madrid and Problems on the Road 🇪🇸✨️

in Worldmappin6 days ago (edited)

Hello and welcome! :)

Witam i zapraszam! :)

The day did not start exactly as I wanted. I did not get enough sleep because I had to wake up early and go to the train station. The day before we agreed to skip one of our destinations, more specifically - Seville. This journey would take too much of our time, and our hotel was booked in Barcelona, so we just wanted to go straight there. I was the group leader, so of course I agreed to solve it and change the tickets.

Ten dzień nie zaczął się tak, jak chciałam. Nie wyspałam się, bo musiałam wstać wcześnie i iść na stację kolejową. Dzień wcześniej zdecydowałyśmy, że pominiemy jedno z naszych miejsc docelowych, a dokładniej – Sewillę. Ta podróż zajęłaby nam zbyt dużo czasu, a nasz hotel był zarezerwowany w Barcelonie, więc chciałyśmy po prostu pojechać tam prosto. Byłam liderem grupy, więc oczywiście zgodziłam się to załatwić i zmienić bilety.

My friend went there with me and - of course - we had some difficulties. The lady did not speak English and was extremely rude, even when I tried to explain everything in basic Spanish, she yelled at me. It was funny because my and my friend went there in pyjamas and we had to call our other friends to bring us passports and they also came in pyjamas. Eventually, we solved the problem and booked the tickets to Barcelona!!!

Koleżanka poszła tam ze mną i – oczywiście – napotkałyśmy pewne trudności. Pani nie mówiła po angielsku i była niezwykle niemiła, nawet gdy próbowałam wszystko wyjaśnić w podstawowym hiszpańskim, krzyczała na mnie. To było zabawne, ponieważ mój koleżanka i ja poszłyśmy tam w piżamach i musiałyśmy zadzwonić do reszty, aby przyniosły nam paszporty, a one również przyszły w piżamach. W końcu rozwiązaliśmy problem i zarezerwowaliśmy bilety do Barcelony!!!

We came back to our hotel and decided to wait for the train in a park in Madrid. It was so beautiful!

Wróciłyśmy do hotelu i postanowiłyśmy poczekać na pociąg w madryckim parku. Było tak pięknie!

This was our breakfast, we ate way too much ice cream during the trip.

To było nasze śniadanie, podczas wycieczki zjadłyśmy zdecydowanie za dużo lodów.

This is one of my favourite pics 😍

To jedno z moich ulubionych zdjęć 😍

We bought some food on a Too Good To Go app, and it was breakfast from a very nice and fancy hotel near the train station. We got some buns, pastry, cheese, ham, and lots of fruits. It was so good to eat it on a train!

Kupiłyśmy jedzenie w aplikacji Too Good To Go. Było to śniadanie z bardzo ładnego i eleganckiego hotelu w pobliżu dworca kolejowego. Dostałyśmy bułeczki, ciastka, ser, szynkę i mnóstwo owoców. Tak dobrze było zjeść to w pociągu!

In the next post I am going to talk about our experience in Barcelona, which was very good, so I can't wait to write about it!

W następnym poście opowiem o naszych wrażeniach z Barcelony, które były bardzo pozytywne, więc nie mogę się doczekać, aby o tym napisać!

Stay tuned!

I laughed reading about the incident of going to the station in pajamas. Such unexpected situations are actually the funniest memories of travel. You have described the entire experience in very natural language.

Haha it was truly very funny, these are the best memories on the road, the ones that happen unexpectedly 😆

Thank you for sharing this. It's first time I see pictures of Madrid and love the nice vegetation as seen in the picture

Traveling always comes with little challenges but those pajama moments will surely be unforgettable 😄 Madrid looks so peaceful and green, a perfect place to relax before the train ride. Looking forward to reading about your Barcelona experience..

Welcome back! Thank you for sharing about your travel. Madrid looks lovely. Looking forward to your Barcelona post. My daughter's there, and I'd definitely love to see more of Barcelona too. Happy new year!
