San Sebastian, Spain


After a 2.5 hour plane ride on Vueling airlines from Amsterdam to Madrid...then a 4 hour layover in Madrid...then a 5.5 hour bus ride to San Sebastian/Donostia...we made it....This Spanish town is located on the northern coast of Spain, just kiddy corner to France. It is considered Basque country, and they speak both Spanish and Basque. It is amazing how little Spanish I know, but how far it can get you in Spain. So, after arriving via Continental Bus Line in San Sebastian, we hoofed it to our hostel (approx 2 km) away to Hospedaje Kati.....
The hostel was on the 5th floor of an old building. Very quaint and very cheap for a night's stay. We are going cheap from here on out. This morning we woke and taxi's it to Hotel Palacio de Aiete. This is the Main Draw hotel for the Satelite event we are here for. We are seeded 6 out of 16 teams, so we pray for the best and go out and play hard. Adios.
