In The Cool Of The Night

After a 36 degree day, we look forward to the cool of the Madrid nights and a refreshing Sangria or two in the myriad of corner restaurants and bars throughout the city.

In this photo, we met the Spanish guys next to us and the guy in white next to Paul just happened to have visted Sydney!!! Their summary of Spanish youth sounds the same as Greece - low wages, not enough jobs for educated people, very expensive housing, people staying at home, marrying late and the list goes on...

On our second Madrid day we visited the ultra modern "Reina Sofia" musuem of modern art which was a disappointment - only four Picasso´s but lots of Dali almost made up for it. We also strolled through the central park, complete with mini-lake and boats - the closest thing to a beach that the poor heat-stricken Madrilenos have!

We have travelled 3,071km to this point since our car pick up in Paris.

  1. Oh my god...a photo without John in it!!

    And judging by the photo, Paul doesnt seem impressed.

    Spill the beans Paul, are you getting annoyed that John is still wearing that black t-shirt??

  2. Where are all the women? It is odd that all I see in the photo are men. Are they the only ones that can afford to go out?

  3. Any photos of Dali, or do they forbid photos?

    He is an amazing artist & designer of buildings! Madrid has a number of his designs throughout the city.
