The world of overbookings and changing plans

So our trip to Barcelona is rescheduled. The train from Geneva to Barcelona was booked solid, so instead, we booked a night train to San Sebastian. We toured the town, climbed a cliff, and hit the beach for a couple hours. We got a hostel from a lady at the station, and the next day we took off Bilbao. We wandered Bilbao for the day, took in a ton of sweet buildings. Lots of good architecture there, which is great when you´re touring with four architecture students. Saw the Googenheim over here, which was splendid, as shown in the picture. Last night, we went to the train station, booked a night train to Madrid with intentions of continuing on to Valencia this morning, but upon arrival, we found that the Valencia trains are booked until 2pm, so we have about 5 hours to tour Madrid before our train. In the mean time, we´re booking hostels, internetting, and shopping at the supermarket. It´s been pretty awesome. Night trains are decent, I´ve found. Sleeper cars are a little more pricey, but it´s ok because then you don´t pay for a hostel. Couchettes and regular cars at night are basically worthless because there´s no room to actually sleep. So we´re down with the sleepers now. I plan on sticking with this group for a while, until they head out, then I think I´ll be in the northern Germany or Amsterdam area, and I may head back down to France and begin the Band of Brothers Tour. But, who really knows :) I still need to go do Italy again, and check out Greece. So much stuff to do...
