Day 13 in Europe (London to Madrid)

A lot of work this morning for a 2 hr flight; the whole trip took 8 hrs with added time from London tube and Madrid metro, Gatwick express, and most of all a massive take-off delay. Apparently budget airlines in Europe suffer from the same problems as those in Australia!

Anyway I took a nap then went wandering round town. Madrid is amazing! Not nearly as rich and pretentious as Paris or London, but there's a lot of shopping and nightlife is  great. It's a huge pity I don't know enough Spanish to hold a conversation or even say, pick up a guy, because if there was a place to let go of yourself it'd be here. :)

Had dinner for €13 which included three courses and a carafe of wine. My choice for the three courses were goat's cheese salad (delicious) mushroom and potatoes with scrambled eggs, and ice-cream/frozen yoghurt, all with vino tinto.

What a way to end the day! (Actually apparently this is when the Madrileños start going out but I need to catch up on sleep after waking up so early!
