I dare say Salamanca is one beautiful and relaxed city. Everything is made in sandstone, from the eldest of the many churches till the newest building in the city-center, all respecting the idea behind Salamanca and all being a pleasure to the eye.

And I really need to go to Madrid. I'm carrying around to bottles of alcohol and a bagpack with tons of dirty clothes. And I am worried about my friend. I had so much hoped to see her and laugh with her and talk on many an interesting subject. To get off the road for a while and enjoy the remote location of her family's house for just a few days.

But well, I'll find my way and untill tomorrow I can still have the hope that I will find a solution, though it very much keep me from sightseeing in this amazing student city.

I met two really great people with whom I get along, can party and sightsee. The one is a Dutch girl from the hometown of a guy still very much on my mind, the other an Australian guy from Sidney. We have been partying pretty wildly for two days now and gone to the ...
