Part three...i left my heart in san sebastian




There's a reason Olga's hostel has a high rating on hostelworld...it's home away from home. Big balconies, amazing location and most importantly, the company, made our stay most enjoyable!




The rooms are big, came with safes and were located one street beach from the big surf beach (waves not included)...unfortunately our room was located next to the bathroom which had extremely loud slamming doors...not a good match with a drunken backpacker...also a certain receptionist could learn to crack a smile once in a while...




Overall 8 out of 10




Being united with your fellow travellers over a giant pan of paella and sangria is really one of the best ways to bring people together...it took 13 hungry mouths and a little bit of sweet talking to get Olga's friend to keep his restaurant open for us into the late hours of the evening...and as paella was a must do for me, i can most definitely tick it off my list!




We ended off our night at an underground jazz bar and were highly amused when the bar staff handed instruments over to some of the patrons...one being possibly the most tone-deaf woman in Spain!




A thumbs up also goes to our new Swedish friends who drunk us under the table three-fold on our last night out...those 1 euro beers really were a killer!
