Madrid Hostel

I found the hostel and was soon showered and arranging my gear while speaking to a french canadian girl in our 8 bedroom dorm, which thankfully had 4 empty beds. I ate some food then retired early to watch some tv on my laptop while I heard the rumblings of a typical saturday night hostel party in the other room.

And then the strangest thing happened. As I was logging onto couchsurfing to submit an urgent couch request for madrid, I had an email from a lady in madrid, who was new to couchsurfing and asked should I need a couch, hers would be available to me.

I slept very well that night, knowing I had some accomodation sorted in madrid for the next few nights and was not stuck under some freeway underpass in the freezing cold.
