Madrid

Hola, Buenas dias, No espenal! Gracias, adios!
That is about all the spanish i've learnt in a week!

I got into the bus staion and went to the hostel but it had a minimum of 2 to a room (& i was only uno) so luckily i had another hostel address written down, so i went ot the mad hostel.
Quite good free breaky, free net, 6 beds in dorms, gym (didn't get any use) and best of all a beer machine ( just like a coke machine but chuck 1 euro in a get a cold beer!).

There was a Slovenian couple (JANN & ANA) in the room so the next day we went tourin the city, first up the train station with a rainforest inside, then the muse del Prado (the prado museum), a heap of paintings, goya, rafeal, rembrandt & possin.
Then to the pelacio real (the madrid palace) & cathedral & toured around the palace gardens.
That night was my last night in spain so we went out for paella and sangria, not too bad but i could make much better!

NExt day i didn't leave till 5 so i stored my bag & we went tourin the new part of madrid. Huge shinny buildings everywhere and a shit load of constuction.

Next stop to see the pope in rome.

Hello Gordo. I have a blog of Spain on this site. I was looking for the "Bull" for my blog journal. I hope you don't mind if I use yours, since I never took a picture of one when I was there last year. Feel free to use any of my photos. Many thanks.....Chris Hud.
