When I heard that Lauro, Lori, Ruby, Hannah, Alex and Ben will be ending their Portugal/Spain trip in Madrid I made sure to fit it into my itinerary because I wanted to see my friends again but also cause Madrid is my favorite city and I will go there for no reason at all haha... I get in the hoste…

I don't know what it is with this place - maybe it's just Madrid, hell maybe it's just Madrid AIRPORT. But people here are SO FREAKING RUDE! I think today was just a really sucky start to a day. But one thing for sure, my brain is now set so that whenever I get to Madrid airport I have to be "don't…

*Trumpets and drumroll please*Today is meetup day! I even managed to stuggle out of bed for my free breakfast at the hostel. I did not have fun sleep last night, wasn't the roommates or the city noise... it was the AIRCON! I absolutely froze! I woke up at about 5am, chilled to the bone, stumbled ou…

Time to edit in the detail :-) now that we are home :-( Had wanted to go to Madrid for some while, and it was everything I had hoped for and more. Had expected Barcelona to be more like this, which is probably why I was so disappointed there. Arrived at Barajas Airport just after 1pm local t…

On my second day in Madrid, I already had the city figured out, and since I got a chance to explore the city yesterday, today was about experiencing more of the Spanish culture.  I got my tickets to the bullfight and was really excited. But first, I had the challenge of finding something …

 I tell you a brief story about our trip to China of 15 days, that we view  in July - August 2006. We wanted to know something about this great country, its culture, its landscapes and monuments, its religions, but also something of  its presents . Seeing what they offer the diffe…

                If you ever meet an excellent young gentleman, that was Madrid.City with attitude.  Great and colossal architecture. Big streets.  Culture center. Museum “Prado”. Reina Sofía N…

5 slovenian girls and 3 spanish cities in 10 days... deadly combination;)

We woke up early in order to get to the train station on time, well I did anyways Vlad couldn't sleep at all, so he was up all night.  I probably got about four hours of sleep.  So we "woke up" at 5 AM so that we could take a shower, eat breakfast and be at the bus station on time.  …

Today I am thinking to myself that I will be home in New Zealand very soon and I am looking forward very much to catching up and telling my friends about Spain, Spanish and my adventures. It has been a journey, happy, hard, hopeful and sometimes homesick but I think I have changed a bit …

3 Days in Madrid including Madrid meet up, 3 Days in Paris for Bastile day and Lori's birthday...and missing my bus home

On our last day, naturally enough, we went shopping and had lunch.  This is not terribly exciting to read about, but it did mean that I got to take the touristy photo of the bear and the strawberry tree.   And I got a great t-shirt with a red headed woman getting out of bed on it - c…

Well my flight from JFK was a little delayed, but not too bad. I arrived in Madrid in the morning and still had a little time until my connecting flight to Tangier. I finally arrived at  Tangier airport, went through customs pretty quickly. After asking a few of the security guards, made my wa…

Today's my last day in Madrid. I will be meeting my Spanish friend, David, again. We're heading to the park because even though I told him I had been to the park with Henri two days ago, I never saw any lake (we probably didn't walk further in) and David said "are you sure you went to the park?!" h…
