Where the streets have no name

When looking at an apartment be sure to bring your most comfortable shoes, because there might be a distance to walk. Do never trust a map and never ever be foolishly overconfident in your knowledge about maps. Maps are indeed a good tool for navigation but yet so mischievous when not used correctly. Make sure to bring your map when traveling but do not ever use it with confidence of finding the right way in case of panic or a short period of time. 

Looking for apartments and finding Burger King

In a beginning of a hunt for an apartment in Pamplona one must always try everything. This I know from moving around a lot back in my hometown. The farthest apartment may be the best one, the last one you'd ever think of/the biggest, the fugliest/ the most comfortable one. And so on. This set of hunting has now begun since the amount of sleep we are getting at the moment is not sufficient for living. That you'd know if you've been reading my last posts. Good girl/boy/hen. Liz, who is a superhuman/knows better Spanish than me, found several adds and people to contact last night. I thought I'd call the English apartment girl = me making some kind of contribution and today walk the distance to see the flat.
35 minutes later after departure, not getting my hopes up when searching the map for answers about where I might be, I'm stopping a guy for help. He's awfully nice and helpful, pointing me in the right direction and I was back on track. 25 minutes later I'd seen the flat and taken some pictures.

On my way home I got lost again.
