h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I liked your comments on Madrid. I had a friend who lived there are he said it was a fantastic place..

Were you there for long?

It was the first place I saw after I left home. Had a nasty 30 hour flight to get there too.

Here's a bit of advice for those killer flights. For the 3 nights leading up to your departure, go out with your mates, do anything but sleep, wake up exhausted and force yourself up. When you get on the plane, (absolutely knackered) Order 2 vodka's and ask the hostess to wake you for meals and movies, and spend the rest of the time asleep. If you're one of those unfortunate individuals who can't sleep, I'm sorry.

I was in Spain for a little over two weeks, but only in Madrid for about 3 of those days. We went north to run with the Bulls in Pamplona, which has to be one of the craziest things I've ever done. I ought to post that experience. Then to the north coast, and Barcelona and the east coast before my train journey out.

Spain is really a country you can fall in love with though, its really a charming place, especially Barcelona, ah Barcelona.
