One thing that I will never forget is hopping from bar to bar along the thames. That was a great time.

Yeah, I'm pumped for London. I grabbed a hostel in Chelsea, that's above a pub and right on the Thames.

18 - 22 - Ibiza
Hah, oh Ibiza. Not much to say about it besides it's mexico for Europeans so it's like cancun on steroids? With more naked girls, bigger nightclubs (WAY Bigger) and some of the biggest DJ's on the planet. You can still do some excursions and stuff as well. The island is seperated into districts so look into which one suits what you want to do the best. One thing I'd recommend is decide if you're there to party or to relax. If you want to party, do not stay at an all inclusive resort. They're 100% aimed towards families. Staying at one was probably the biggest regret of my trip. Vice Versa, if you want to relax poolside and nurse your hangover (cause everyone parties in Ibiza at night) in peace and quiet, don't stay at one of the apartment hotels like Jet. Just walking by these hotels and hostels during the day was nuts. Music blasting and people in full party mode by noon.

Which part of Ibiza did you stay in? We grabbed a hostel in San Antoni. I heard that it's a good spot to party and a little less pricey than Playa d'en Bossa.

22 - 26 - Madrid
Honestly, If I was doing it again, I'd skip Madrid or maybe just hit it for a day. Not much to do. The touristy area is cool in that it's very reminiscent of Paris but I mean, outside of seeing the Palace (which is massive) and Santiago Bernabeu (the stadium), there wasn't much to do. I was there from Monday to Wednesday though so that probably didn't help.

I'm hoping that since we're there on a weekend we can catch either an Atletico or Real game. Also, the hostel we're staying that does pub crawls and tapas nights, free day tours, etc., so I'm thinking it should be a good time. If not, we might head up to Bilbao or San Sebastian for a day or two.
