Today we flew to Madrid for the first leg of our trip home. Up early to catch the airport bus, then check in and through security at the airport. The directions to our hostel in Madrid seemed complicated and involved a couple of changes on the metro and a fair amount of walking, so we took a taxi. The old central part of Madrid is a real maze of narrow streets with poor signage – I don’t think the driver could have found the place without his GPS. We did quite a bit of walking around just to take things in. This place is so very different from where we spent the last few weeks – it is busy and noisy and everyone is in a hurry. And we are so ready to head home in the morning. No photos today. Nothing special caught my eye.
