The Last Journey into the City

Well, our adventure has almost come to an end, and yesterday we said our first goodbye. After our last night in Seville we made the one hours journey to Cordoba to see the famous Cathedrale, which mixes both Arab and Catholic design. It was really gorgeous. Along for the ride there was a girl from our room, Hikari. She was really great fun but our time together was short.
After a quick visit, Krissy and I jumped back in the car and made the 4 hours journey north to Madrid. We made great time and didn´t get lost once on the way here. Unfortunately the same can´t be said for when we arrived. When I had booked the car I had put in the address of our hostel in Madrid and asked for the closes Hertz location to drop it off. It gave me one and said it was just a few km away. However when we actually started to look for it we realized it was out by the airport and not at all close to where we were going. After fighting with a really rude woman on the phone and then getting proper instructions from a really nice man, we found our location. Thankfully the guy working at the desk said that we could actually drop it off in town right at the train station. He gave us great directions and within an hour we had dropped off the car, said goodbye to George (the car...Krissy named him), and were settled in our hostel.
We are staying at a really great place right in the middle of it all. Last night we just chilled out and then went out for some dinner, and today we are going to do our most favourite thing...a bus tour.
I can´t believe I only have 2 more sleeps before I head back to Ireland! Its gone by so fast!
Love to everyone! Stay tuned for the pictures!
