Day 32 9:02 pm Madrid

Today we woke up and had coffee in a nice square just outside Plaza Mayor before hitting the metro and making an attempt to get to our new hotel that we are spending the night in so we can wake up bright and early to catch our flight to Paris. We ended up taking a taxi which was good because the bus was not so good for luggage it turned out.

We got there anyways and our room is huge and nice. We went back into Madrid to go to Vicente Caulderon and I was disappointed with their lack of stuff I wanted to buy. I got a shirt which is cool and a Luis Garcia photo before we went back to Santiago Bernabeu just to get that Raul postcard and in order to get him I had to buy all these others so Stephanie some how gets two Cannavaro postcards instead of a 8 euro keychain (I refused to pay that much for a keychain, sorry!)

We went for coffees and then spent a glorious eight minutes in these massage chairs. They were just amazing.

Wanted to go to this museum....Thysson something (lazzzinesss) but ha it was closed cause it was Monday, silly us. We went to the park again because it was sunny and walked around the boating lake and saw these very nice old people feeding the stray cats of the park. We went to Palace Valazquez and the Crystal Palace where we saw Black Swans! We had seen them at the London Zoo but these two were just supping it up with some ducks.

We then had Australian Bacon burgers and hit the road home on the busses which are a lot like our buses that go to Vancouver and back, ha ha. Hotel now. :D


Tomorrow we hit three capital cities in one day. Madrid. Paris. London. Cool.
