From Madrid, to Salamanca, Spain - Workaway Spain // 042
Traveling from Madrid to Salamanca, Spain! Only a 3 hour bus ride, but first, gotta catch the bus! Some advice I was given about traveling through Europe, Just get to your bus on time, and you'll be fine! And I'd thought that'd be easy-peasy! But, uh, I clearly hadn't been traveling very long when I said that.
Despite leaving the hostel an HOUR before my bus was scheduled to depart (and with an expected 30 minute travel time to the station), I arrived at 3:29, one minute before my bus was supposed to leave! Turns out the shuttle I was directed to was either not the right one, or I poorly communicated to the driver which stop I needed to exit at (probably the latter). The driver of the shuttle, with all kindness and concern, advised me to get off at a certain stop, then go around the corner to the bus station. Extremely thankful, I followed his advice. However, according to Google Maps, which I checked as I exited the shuttle, I was only one-third of the way to the station I needed to be at. A super fast power-walk ensued. Me and my backpack vs. time! Time nearly won. But I made it!
Once on the bus, it was a beautiful ride through rural spain to Salamanca, Spain, where I expected to be picked up by my next Workaway family. With a mushed croissant and peanut butter for dinner, I enjoyed the time to catch my breath and relax.
Once in Salamanca, my very sweet Workaway family was at the station to greet me! The two parents, twin 10-year-olds, and I piled into the car for the 45-minute ride to Vitigudino, the tiny rural city I'll be staying in for the next 26 days.
