Madrid

Today was the day of goodbyes, but I was very keen to try and fit in a walking tour before we left. It started in the Plaza de espana, then went to the old tobacco factory (now the university), the bullring, and finished at the main cathedral. It was, however, quite a disappointing tour and wasn't particularly exciting. As such, we decided to bail early and enjoy a bit more time together before I left for a couple of months. As such, we found a nice restaurant for more tapas in the Plaza del Salvador in the shadow of the El Salvador Cathedral. We ended the trip in typical Spanish style, Tinto de Verano, and tapas. Some of the best we had on the trip and a nice goodbye to Spain. After some time catching up, we headed back to the hotel to give me time to organise my stuff and head to the train. As I was flying to Tunisia, I would have to fly out of Madrid to get a direct flight. I would only be staying the one night, however, and leaving early the next day. As such, my parents walked me to the station, we said our goodbyes and I boarded my train for the journey to madrid. Everything went pretty smoothly, I arrived at the hotel quite late, grabbed a feed, and had an early one to give me dome sleep before an early morning.Read more
