it´s raining like hell
hola chicos! finally the rain is back to san sebastian and my fingers are frozen from the mega-photo session on the beach. But first things first ...
Barcelona was really great. The Gaudi stuff is simply amazing - church, house, park - he knew what he was doing. Barcelona is - contrary to Frankfurt not a city to look at in one day - in fact, not even a city to look at in two days. So there are more than a couple of things left for my next visit. The only thing I missed during the weekend was the fantastic food of San Sebastian and the even more fantastic prices. In Barcelona you can easily spend 20 and more Euros for one meal - I have not managed to do this in San Sebastian so far. In my eyes pintxos easily win over tapas (contrary to googlefight).
After two days of basically walking at least two marathons in Barcelona (I need to remember to buy a little gadget that actually measures the distances I walk in the future - preferably one that has GPS data that connects to my photos ...) I got on the bus at 23:00 to go back to San Sebastian. We were supposed to be able to sleep on the bus but somehow this did not happen - the seats are numbered normally so people can sleep and are waken up perfectly - as the seats did not have numbers the driver simply told everyone to take any seat - with the consequence of then waking up everybody at every stop. Plus we arrived in San Sebastian in pouring rain ( wearing my flip-flops and bermuda shorts) which made me even happier.
Other than this the day has been pretty cool, spanish lectures are still fun. Surfing did not take place because of the storm outside so we headed for some drinks to a nearby place full of american girls, some local surfers and an immense smell of joints ...
At some point I went for a walk to take some groundbaking shots of the water and the kite-surfers flying around the area - it is now two hours later and my fingers are frozen so I thought I would slowly warm them up by blogging a little. And now as I get tired I will stop and go home to catch up on last night´s sleep ...

Hi!
Welcome then to (the real) San Sebastian where you cannot foresee the weather in the next couple of hours hehehe.
For the rainy days, you need to go to a coffee place called "Bideluze". There are 2 of them in the "Centro", but actually one in the "Plaza de Gipuzkoa" itself. That's a very "beliebte" place for people from San Sebastiab. Ask for a "Cola Cao" and indulge yourself!!!
See you soon!!! (arriving on Thurs).
you won´t believe it but we actually went to "Bideluze" yesterday when it rained...
This is the place I have breakfast every day as it is on the plaza next to the school :-)
It´s so funny - jajaja :-)
I will try the Cola Cao next time.
Hasta Luego!
