So today started much better then the other museum days :) I got to sleep in a little bit as the first one didn´t open until 930. I took the Metro to get there instead of walking. I was saving that 30 minute walk for later. I was disappointed as the museums were undergoing construction so I didn´t get to see as much as I wanted to. Museum of Anthropology was cool what I got to see. Lots of items from religion... Hindu, Buddha, and Islam. These were neat to look at but was disappointed I couldn't see the other floors.

Today I had the best of intentions...I was going to go to x, y and then z. Except either it was closed, I couldn´t find it or I was too early. I did a lot of walking up hills so I was very tired when I got back. I laid down for a while just to relax. At night I wanted to check out a restaurant that was recommended in my Madrid Card book....yeah, I couldn´t find it and then when I found the place it should have been...it wasn´t there anymore. Other then that I just have still been in [View Full Entry]

Today I had to get up early to meet my tour by 8:30...it started at 8:45. I had a voucher to turn in and it recommended being there early. So I left at 8:00...I was told it would be a 15 minute walk. Well I found the Plaza Oriente that I needed to get to BUT I couldn´t find the terminal. Finally, I asked a lady...Yup couldn´t find it because it was two floors below. So I got to the terminal and the guy asked me if I wanted the tour in English and I was like NO. The tour was [View Full Entry]

So I know... my days are off on here. Oh well. I will figure it out later. SO anyways. On the 18th I went to the famous museum here: El Prado. It was cool. I got to see some stuff by El Greco, Goya and others. Obviously I don´t remember too much. It was neat to look at all the paintings. They did have an exhibit: Entre Dios y Hombres...there were many sculptures. Those always fascinate me because of all the details. Lets see what else...not much there it was just really big. Next I went to the garden next door. [View Full Entry]

I landed in Madrid at 9:00 AM. This was quite the change in time for me (7 hours). Thank goodness for the siesta. When I got to Madrid it took a while. First I had to go through immigration & customs. After that I could get my baggage which required a little metro ride. After that I exchanged some money and had to end up at T2 to get my Madrid card. Well that required getting on an airport shuttle to this Terminal. Then I had to find the Metro area. After that I exchanged my voucher and then I had [View Full Entry]
