Continental Europe — more accordions than you’ll see in the rest of your life!!!

Greetings from Toledo, Spain

When we got to Barcelona, we realized that we lost our cache of postcards from Greece and Italy!  Somehow they got left behind at some past hostel.  But it turned out that in the drawer of our hostel in Barcelona there was a postcard for Toledo, Spain.  So that sort of balances things out :S

Hostel errors in your favour

  • At a hostel in Australia, we paid a $10 key deposit, and were then refunded a $15 key deposit when we left.
  • At a different hostel in Australia, the staffer punched in the wrong number into the VISA machine, thereby charging us $20 less for the total hostel charge.  We didn’t notice at first, but hey we’ll take it!
