Madrid


Final day in Madrid... loads of stuff happened since we last wrote on here, I wrote about 5 pages of stuff on the train from Alicante to Madrid, but don´t have enough time to transcribe it noo, so heres some bullety points to help me remember when I get some more time.,.....we´re in Hostal Riosol in the Sol district of Madrid - the room has a balcony that looks out onto one of the busiest streets in the city - there are always street entertainers, musicians or street traders all over the place, makes for entertaining balcony viewing. We ended up travelling first class to Madrid because we didnt book 2nd class in time and it was totally booked up when we got to the station. It wasnt cheap! (The europass rail tickets were a slight subsidy towards it though.) Was pretty relaxing, but in order to avoid the same happening again, we booked up our train tickets to Barcelona as early as we could.

Memo to me¨: Heavily sunburnt shoulders and 4 tonne rucksacks are not a good combination.


Okay, heres the Madrid bullet points for us to spraff on about later:
Did two Madrid walks past a million beautiful old buildings
Linsey had on a tiny white dress which lots of old Spanish guys were loving
Went rowing in the main park
Saw porn shoot in a fountain in the park
Fast glass lifts in the museum that houses Guernica
Guernica
Openheim exhibition

Hungry sparrows and unfed pigeon
