Spain

Thursday 20th of November

Well hello everybody, here we are in Madrid, at last. Not a great deal to report as yet as we have only been here a couple of days. So far we have managed to explore the city a bit, see a few museums and also visit Madrid Zoo. The Zoo was ace, not so much for the animals but more as we hired a little golf buggy and drove around the Zoo. To be honest I dont remember much about the animals as I was to busy zig zagging in and out of things. We did stop and see the Dolphin show which was very good but it did seem a bit cruel also.

Apart from that we have just really been relaxing and settling into the holiday mode. It has not been to much of a culture shock yet as to be honest Madrid is very similar to London. There are a few major difference´s though, like I am still wondering who thought adding Apricot Jam to a cheese and ham sandwich was a good idea? Although Lou seemed to like it, so much so that she ordered the same thing again for breakfast today! It takes all sorts I suppose.

Anyway better go now as we have nothing to do! ha ha ha.

Hello

Ruairi on the other hand is looking forward to the turbulance on the plane (strange boy). I have just had enough of the jamon y quesa rolls so am glad we are moving on. Please do write a message on the guest book if you have not already done so.It is right at the bottom of the main page on the web.

The turbulence makes for a more enjoyble flight, It is exciting! Who am I trying to kid, Lou´s right am I just strange.

Well it is bye bye Madrid and hello Rio. When we checked the weather for Rio Yesterday it was 35 degrees. I think I am going to be Red in both name and colour by the end of the week. I am looking forward to getting to Rio now as quite frankly I am bored of Madrid. Don´t get me wrong it is a lovely City, it is just quite small and in the evenings all there is to do is either eat or drink. Wait a second, what am I talking about! I love Madrid I´m not leaving. I am staying here eating and drinking until my money runs out!
