Great Start

3rd November 2005 Quito Equador
So everything went well on my journey over the atlantic.
I arrived in Madrid on tuesday evening and got the metro straight to my hostel.
Having asked for a bed in an 8 bed dorm I ended up having the whole dorm to myself.
I went for a stroll soaking up the atmosphere breafly.
At the airport in the morning I went straight to the gate when boarding got bumped up to buisness plus class and got pampered for the 12 hour flight, cushy.
I got a taxi straight to my choice of hostel. There were loads of interesting international types there to chat to including some from as far afield a Bray.
The staff were very friendly alltogether.
Today I went for a bit of a stroll to get my bearings.
I don´t feel that I am a hardened traveller type yet and am picking up many tricks of the trade.
Neadless to say I am quite tired after all that travelling so I find my writing style suffering a bit.
The weather here is quite plesent mid twentys.
