Our First Night in a Hostel



Wednesday morning Chase and I met Andrew, Ashley and Maddy at the bus station to take a bus to Valprasio. It was amazing, on a Wednesday morning there was a bus leaving every 15 minutes. Upon arriving, our first impression of Valprasio was as Chase said, "this place is terrible." the area that the bus pulled in was so dirty and there were people trying to sell the most ridiculous things. But once you get out of the bus terminal and up an acsensor it is a beautiful place.

Traveling with 5 people none of which had researched a place to stay proved to be very interesting. We wasted about 2 hours trying to find a place to stay and even then we settled for something that was bellow par. Our first hostel experience was not the most pleasant experience but it could have been much worse. In fact the most redeeming quality of the place was that it had an incredible balcony that overlooked the entire city.

After checking in we spent the afternoon at the beach just hanging out. We really lucked out and had incredible weather! I actually got to wear shorts!

We had a wine on the terrace before heading to a great dinner.
