This afternoon I arrived in Madrid. I checked into the Mad Hostel and then quickly walked over to the Prado museum, which was only 10 minutes away.

The art in there is amazing, but I think that you really need an art history degree to fully appreciate everything that is in there.

Afterwards I walked around the botannical gardens outside the Prado - they have specimens from every continent, and the plants and flowers are categorized by type, environment and usage.

I just made dinner back at the hostel, and I am going for a late siesta (9;30pm) before going out tonight...since I am in Madrid I am assuming I won´t be leaving until 2am anyway, so still plenty of time for sleep.

1 more night in Madrid, then 3 in San Sebastien, and then I will likely take an overnight train to Paris on the 17th/18th, or maybe just a TGV that arrives late at night on the 17th
