The weekend we went to Madrid on our first group excursion Hannah, Gabby, and I stayed the night in Madrid. This was our first hostel experience in Spain and it actually turned out really well. You always take a chance when you book a hostel on whether it's nice or you're going to be sleeping in a tent, but this experience turned out nicely. We got a 3 bed room with a private bathroom. We payed 82 euro, but we were in the perfect spot! We were less than 5 minutes from the Puerta Del Sol and lots of great shopping. Our hostel was above a Discotech which was nice. After the group left we went shopping. I was so happy I found some really cheap, nice boots at a store. Actually, I found 2 pairs- so I bought them. I had been looking for boot and these were really nice. After we went shopping we walked around and looked for a cafe and walked back to the National Palace to take some pictures. We ended up finding a little Italian cafe and had a glass of wine before we went to the discotech. We had a really good time at the discotech even though we had a few interesting encounters with random guys. Word to the girls... if your friend is dancing with a guy and looks at you with fright- go over to her. And if she says "want to get a drink", "want to go to the bathroom" or something along these lines... for goodness sakes- SAY YES! I got stuck dancing with a really creepy guy and Hannah had to save me... Thank goodness for good friends! Over all our night in Madrid was a really fun and stress free night. I'm glad we went and I hope we get to go back and stay again.
