Madrid part 2

I had never visited Madrid before, even though we've been going to Spain for 12 years.  What a capital, that's what I can say.  It is so beautiful out there, all the architecture and history, it is unbelievable. When you see a violin from 500 years before you were even born, and a building that has history of a thousand years, what else can you feel that admiration.  World has changed a heap since those days, but oh so many things have stayed the same for hundreds of years.

Mum and I had a lot of fun and spend some great times back together. The only downside is that we walked everyday, whole day, so my feet were literally dying.  But what is that kind of pain when you see something as wonderful as we did.

We went to many great museums with hundreds of famous pieces of art:


Saw some normal people...


...and some normal cars. :P


Got to see the life in Madrid.  This was a night during the week, got to love the place and the culture!


Oh and some more people, better not forget the spider-man.  I think this one had retired couple of years ago! 


Used a lot of metros, got around as much as possible, and spend a heap of quality time with mum. (:


Saw sooo many police cars because of the big demonstration they just had.


What a lovely trip, was good to see a different part of Spain.  


Back to school tomorrow,
