Welcome to Another Installment of My World Adventure :)
After 3 nights in Lisbon and ending my week in Portugal I made the trek accross to the Spanish Capital Madrid! It wasn't all smooth sailing to get to my destination it was a f***ing 10 hour bus ride, that wasn't much fun. At least I got there in one piece.
I wish I had more time in Madrid as I didnt get to see that much and didn't really experience the crazy nightlife that everyone raves about. I only had 1 day to explore the city. I ended up going to some whacky art musuem with lots of cool but weird paintaings and what not(you'll see what I mean in the photos). I tried to go the most famous musuem but it was closed that day. The sun was out in force wiht temperatures gearing up to 40 degrees, so I had a power nap in the huge Park.
Although in this blog Im making Madrid sound like an average city, Its still very nice with lots to see and do, I just didnt get to spend enough time there.
I wish I met more people as well, but in the hostel I stayed at everyone seemed to want to stick to themselves and just stay on their laptops all day!
One thing that is crazy is how late everything is open and how late all the locals stay out till.
Sometimes we would rock up to restaruants at around 1am and they would still serve you, back at home that would never happen! Its also weird that the old people stay out till like 2-3am and their are still familys just chilling around the city and kids kicking soccer balls all at 2 in the morning. Its Loco in Spain hahaha.
Another reason I didnt make an effort to see alot was probably because I was just thinking about going to Pamplona and running with those huge f*** off Bulls.
Watch Out for my next blog about San fermin in Pamplona Its going to be a big one :P.
Take Care & Enjoy,
Cheers,
Andrew
