The end of ERASMUS and my last day in San Sebastian. I woke up messed up after last night. Demetris and Iordanis were working on their diploma while me and Jurgen stayed discussing architecture and got a bit drunk on the way. When I started my day Jurgen already left for his flat and the two Greeks were on their way to the uni to present their final project. At 12.30 all my stuff is already in my car and I pay a visit to piso3IZD where Isma, Marta and Lucia live and where my flat mate Miguel is now staying. And as they are preparing for the road their flat looks more like pincho bar with all the food prepared. I get a phone call from Iordanis saying the greeks scored and 8 for the final project which are very good news. I meet them in a park close to the sight Peine del Vientos, we go for a coffee and wait for Jurgen. He joins us a couple of hours later and we lunch tortilla de patata for the last time, the dish we found out about as soon as we moved in Spain. When we decide to leave I notice that my car is getting prepared to be taken away by the municipality for the 3rd time as I (as always) didn’t pay for the ticket. They tell me to pay the fine of 12EUR and I’m happy to do that although they scrared me a lot when they took almost 10minutes to make the receipt. Of the 23 tickets I got this year I payed the final one! I hope I see the Greeks again soon as we say goodbye. Although in our eyes I sence the feeling it might not happen... With Jurgen we run around the city to collect his stuff and finally we’re on our way. After making some mistakes on the road I had a feeling that we really saw the rest of the area which we didn’t see before. The guys are on the beach of Sopelana and when we arrive it’s already dark. Jurgen has already been there so we climb down from the parking and find the guys in complete dark! Amazing really! The tent was in this little hole for trying to hide from the public. With Jurgen we decide to put our tent a bit higher... doesn’t make any sence from hiding as the night is really dark and a bit rainy.

We wake up late at around 11. Our little camping site was not as hidden as we expected. The first morning and we already got a visit from the national police ‘’Guardia civil’’. The guy was really nice saying that it’s forbidden to camp on the beaches (no, really?!) but if we make the tent at 10 in the evening and clean the site at around 8 in the morning nobody’s going to see us so we’ll be fine. Cool hey?! We go for a surf and then spend the day in a bar which we call ‘’el salon’’ as we spend almost the whole day there. The weather is changing rapidly from the clean blue sky to some rain. We decide with Jurgen to go to buy some food where we met a guy from Chile with his grandaughter. He fled the country when Pinochet came into power and he lived the rest of his life in Spain. We return to the beach for the dinner and in the end I went with Marta and Lucia to the same bar at 3 in the morning for a drink – now our salon looked like a dance floor for the locals of all ages!

8.15! A quick wake up following yesterday’s instruction! With Jurgen we clean the stuff and return to salon for a 3 hour Greek coffee. The day is super depressed, gray and a bit rainy. We decide to visit Bilbao as staying on the bach doesn’t make any sence and the rest decide to return to San Sebastian as they have only one car which for six people with five surfboards simply isn’t enough. We take my laptop and spend a few hours surfing online and drinking long coffees. At 3 we’re on our way to El Brusco, the beach of Helguera. Oh, no, Helgueras! The Spanish from the south don’t like to say the letter S at the end of the words, so when Miguel, who’s from Sevilla, told me the name of the place I actually found the wrong one on the GPS! But we quickly found out we’re wrong and we didn’t miss the 8 o’clock quarter final match between Spain and Paraguay. Another 1-0 for Spain which means we have to celebrate! We start in a local park and after a while Miguel and Isma decide to go back to the beach for a sleep as they prefer surfing and the rest go to the nearby party street, a little street with a lot of bars, all open and all in red! At 4 in the morning we find out that my car can also be a minibus as the girls have to ride in the back with the surfboards and the guitar. They try to play the famous Phoebe’s Smellycat while playing the guitar and screaming Smelika (which should sound like smelly cat I think)!
