Good morning, we're sitting at a cafe waiting for our breakfast.
We were supposed to wakeup and hike at 8:00am but it's, what time is it now?
11:30?!
We overslept like we always do.
So, what are you doing now Evan?
I'm just answering some work emails, and looking up our next move to Madrid.
And seeing the best way to get there, whether it's train, bus or renting a car.
And what are we going to do?
I think we might just take a bus, because you can work on your laptop, instead of having
to drive the whole time.
It's a six hour drive from San Sebastian to Madrid, I don't know, we'll figure it out
after the hike.
Yah!
Cheers to our second day in Madrid, San Sebastian.
What are you eating that looks delicious?
I'm eating a special ham with a breakfast baguette and a ham potato tortilla, um I mean,
what's it called?
Omelet.
Wow, that looks delicious.
We just finished up breakfast and we're about to hike over to the neighboring town of San
Juan, and apparently they have the best seafood in all of Spain.
The hike's going to take about an hour and half, and it's up over this mountain you can
see in the distance, so we'll do some more vlogging once we get up there.
Yesterday we were at a beach called La Concha, which is kind of the touristy resort beach,
but right here is the surf beach, and this beach reminds me a lot of Bondi Beach in Australia,
same sort of uh, same sort of vibe going on.
And that mountain up there is where we're hiking to.
One thing I've noticed about Spain is that there are basketball courts everywhere, and
everyone plays basketball which is pretty cool.
I'm working off all the beers and all the tapas, and all the bread, 1 and 2 ahh.
We made it to the top of the mountain and the view is absolutely stunning, check it
out.
That's all of San Sebastian, that's the christ statue over there, that next bay over is the
beach we were at yesterday, and this right down here in the foreground is a surfing beach,
it's really an incredible city.
I know I've said this a couple times already, but this town is just made for walking and
biking, you have these really cool walking paths that intersect the city and cars rarely
drive down them, the way the city was designed is awesome, everyone is on a bike, really
a walking friendly city.
One thing I've noticed about Europe in the summer is that it seems like every weekend
is some sort of fiesta or celebration or festival, there's markets setup everywhere, people are
out about walking, it's awesome!
What's that?
Some cheese.
Wow.
What are we doing Julia?
We're tanning at the topless beach, at the surfing beach, which is a little bit windier
but it's nice and it's really warm today, and we're drinking some Estrella.
We just wrapped up our last beach session at San Sebastian.
We're leaving tomorrow for Madrid, I'm actually kind of sad we didn't book more days here,
this is...
I have a feeling this might be the highlight of the trip, I love San Sebastian, it is a
European city right on the beach, it's got good surfing, it's got beautiful sand, warm
water, it's amazing!
I love this city, but we have a lot more days.
A lot of people were telling me San Sebastian is awesome, and regardless we only booked
two days here, but I honestly think we could do a whole week here.
But, um, we'll be back, because San Sebastian is definitely one of my favorite cities I've
ever been to.
Ok now we're going to hike up to the top of the christ statue, and get some cool drone
shots, there's a really good overview of the city up there.
Who look I just ran into.
Wowwww.
We just got back from hiking the christ statue, we're at this tapas bar, or pixtos as they're
called in basque country, and the selection is amazing, what's really cool is that they
have these ham legs sitting above the bar.
We just finished eating pixtos and now we're walking to get cheesecake at a place called
La Viña, it's apparently the best cheesecake in Spain and I know I've mentioned this before,
but I'm still blown away by how light it is all the time, here it is at 9:30 at night!
We're at La Viña which is a popular place for eating a cheesecake they're apparently
very famous for their cheesecake so we're going to go in and try, i'm very excited.
How do you say cheesecake in Spanish?
Queso con torta?
Torta de queso.
Let's go!
This is the cheesecake, let's see what it's all about.
How is it?
Good?
Is it worth the hype?
It was good, it wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was good.
We're going to go home, we just had the cheesecake, which was...
I thought it was OK, it was good but it wasn't amazing, but you and your mom liked it a lot.
So you should all go check it out, it's called La Viña in San Sebastian, so now we're going
to go the hotel and get some sleep because tomorrow at 8:30 we are going to Madrid.
Alright we're headed back to the hotel in San Sebastian, just wanted to say one more
time how beautiful this city is, and show the last sunset, at 10:15pm no less.
