      Welcome (back) to Madrid

      13. mai, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Hola from Madrid.
      I think we deserve a pat on the back for catching 2 trains today and navigating ourselves through the Madrid metro. Quite worried when you have to go through electronic gates, and there's no way back without paying if you get it wrong.
      I know how a cull cow feels now.
      A good result, anyway, emerging into 27 degrees sunshine from the underground, a short walk to the hotel .
      Interestingly, they're still predominantly cork top wine bottles; we haven't had a cork screw for the last 3 days, quite the crisis.
      The supermercado was several floors and required taking this baby trolley up and down ramps. Got these cool wheels that self lock on the elevator, so no brakes are required. Great engineering 👍.
      Mainly a traveling, admin, and maintenance (aka wine) day today. Sorted our data after not being able to buy a sim card over the weekend. Bugger.
      We're now on a European sim, New phone number, same email.
      Hot tip (not); I've noticed many shop counters have chairs around them. I think you're supposed to patiently pull up a pew and wait until they get to you. Commonly 4 plus in a que. Not sure I enjoy this aspect of Spanish culture. God help us if kiwis latch onto it.      Les mer

      Segovia and Avila day trip.

      15. mai, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      A day trip out to Segovia in the north west to view an 1800 year old Aquaduct and Cathedral. Both are very impressive engineering features. No Cement in the Aquaduct makes it even more impressive. There are no earthquake engineering issues here, apparently.
      Onward to Avila to check out the longest city walls still in existence in Europe. Apparently, the ashes from cremations were used to fill the walls.
      We went to check out a museum on the way home but got turned away due to a festival starting tonight. Due to an early start tomorrow, I think we'll miss the fireworks tonight , we'll see.
      We checked out the Real Madrid stadium ( street view only) yesterday, but we're not big enough fans to justify the $75 pp entry fee to peek around the door.
      Off to Portugal tomorrow in keeping with the plan C itinerary.      Les mer

      Madrid, On and Off

      14. mai, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      A day on the hop on/ off bus. It seemed the most practical way to view this city of 6.7m people.
      The footpaths outside our hotel are 10m wide, and you still struggle to walk side by side in a forward direction.
      Apparently, the Spanish economy is going pretty well by EU standards, and people seem pretty happy. Noticeable they seem to take pride in their appearance and not a lot of homeless about considering the population. Very well presented bunch with quite different clothing choices to NZ.
      I think they could employ a few more gardeners, though, as the current lot don't seem to have come back from the Christmas break. A bit of round up wouldn't go amiss.
      Some impressive green spaces all the same, which we mostly enjoyed more than the history on offer.
      The local cuisine went down a treat tonight, Pintxos ( tapas ) were delivered every few minutes, and they just kept coming. A bit of a trap for a country lad that likes an empty plate!      Les mer

      Stuck in Madrid

      13. august 2022, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      So I think I'm onto Plan C😂😭going from Lisbon to Barcelona has been adventure. I had 6 train transfers all with about 15 min between and if I missed only one train, I wasn't going to make it on the last train from Madrid out to Barcelona at 8:30pm. From the start, one of my trains was 15 min delayed so I was RUNNING. Luckily the next train waited for us but then we were running to the next one and the next one. What a whirlwind. ALSO. Some trains require you to make reservations prior to getting on the train but in Spain, you cannot book online and it has to be done at a train station WITHIN Spain. I know, you guys already know where this is going. So I said yolo and just kept going and paying on the train (usually that doesn't work but we didn't have time during train transfers and they not so willingly allowed it). Absolutely flying by the seat of my pants. Luckily, I met Esta who was 17 and backpacking from Germany and we were both headed for the same last train. So we were in it together. Along the way we also started travelling with Yennick who was 20 and from Germany as well. #squad okay so we were SHOOK that we had made it on all the trains to Madrid. At one point I was looking up hostels in the local towns because I thought there was no way. So when we caught the second last train to Madrid, we were celebrating because there was an hour transfer between trains from Madrid to Barcelona. When we got to Madrid and arrived at the ticket office to reserve the train, THEY WERE FULLY BOOKED UNTIL THE MORNING!😭 Esta was able to get on because she was only on the train for a short period of time so they had space. So here's Yennick and I stuck in Madrid until the next train out at 8:30 Saturday morning. At this point we met a guy named Max from California who was 22 and in the same boat as us. So here were, booking a hostel together in Madrid!Les mer

      Suprise Madrid

      13. august 2022, Spania ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      Our unexpected visit to Madrid worked out and we made it a blast. The three of us were a trio and we walked around Madrid and grabbed a couple drinks (gotta say we did not make it to the drag queen show). What an adventure. We now have a group chat going after we just spent the past 12 hours together. #friendsLes mer

      Zwischenstop in Madrid

      7. september 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Heute ging es morgens von München nach Madrid, wo ich einen Aufenthalt von fast 12h habe, bevor es weiter nach Peru geht. Ich hab die Zeit natürlich genutzt, um mich ins Großstadtleben von Madrid zu stürzen und einige der bekannten Orte zu besuchen. Man kommt vom Flughafen ziemlich einfach mit der Metro ins Zentrum, wo ich dann eine Free Walking Tour gemacht habe. So kam ich von Puerta de Sol, Plaza Mayor über Gran Vía, die Kathedrale und den Königspalast zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Madrid. Nach der Tour wollte ich natürlich unbedingt noch ein paar Tapas essen und einen Tinto de Verano probieren bevor es wieder zurück an den Flughafen ging 🤌😊 das habe ich über den Dächern von Madrid mit einer tollen Aussicht getan. Schön wieder in Spanien und Madrid zu sein, da kommen tolle Erinnerungen aus meinen Studienzeiten hier auf. Zuletzt war ich in Madrid für ein Shakira-Konzert. Ist allerdings auch schon wieder 5 Jahre her 😵Les mer

      Madrid

      30. oktober 2022, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      It was about time to visit the capital of Spain, so we prepared Otto for another roadtrip with foster doggie Boomie and took off for a mini-holiday!

      Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones with this fabulous plan. Walking along the Gran Via felt more like cattle being herded. We loved exploring the neighbourhoods of Malasaña, Chueca and Lavapiés, with their cosy streets full of restaurants, bars and cool shops. The city is quite green and we really liked 'El Retiro' park with it's beautiful Crystal Palace.

      Traveling with a dog means it is difficult to visit any indoor attractions, so unfortunately we couldn't visit the Prado or Reina Sofia. Next time :)! On the plus side, we had to do everything on foot and saw our average step count tripled!      Les mer

      2. Teil der Rückreise

      26. juni 2023, Spania ⋅ 🌙 30 °C

      Noch immer erreichen uns Abschied Fotos aus Santiago. Dann heute Morgen die Zureise nach Madrid. Sehr angenehm, pünktlich, sauber und schnell. Nochmals die Landschaften bewundern.
      Dann Madrid am Billetschalter zwei Stunden warten. Die gute Frau am Schalter war nicht im Stande unsere grenzüberschreitenden Verbindungen zu finden. Sie zeigte mir den Bildschirm leer, dabei habe ich fünf Verbindungen gesucht zu verschiedenen Zeiten und alle nach Genf. Ich hätte ja verstanden wenn sie gesagt hätte dass es kein Platz mehr habe, damit mussten wir rechnen, aber nicht einmal die Züge und die Anschlüsse zu finden fand ich doch ein starkes Stück. Wir haben es dann halt aufgegeben. Ich brauchte ca. 10 Minuten, dann hatte ich morgen einen Flug nach Zürich gebucht und bezahlt.
      Ich fühle mich schon wieder ganz Tourist, der Pilger tritt mehr und mehr in den Hintergrund.
      Die letzte Foto ist nochmals die Einladung für den Rückkehr- Apèro. Unter Burgergemeinde Roggwil Stichwort Waldhütte Boowald findet ihr die Wegbeschreibung, sonst gibt Martha gerne Auskunft. Es freut mich wirklich sehr euch wieder zu sehen.
      Morgen dann das Schlusswort. Zuerst wollen wir noch etwas Madrid anschauen.      Les mer

      Spent a good part of today at the Reina Sofia museum. Had lunch in their very cool looking cafeteria with a great soundtrack. Later we retired to Casa Alberto - founded in 1827 - for some of their famous Vermut and cheesecake.Les mer
