We were up early this morning, to finish packing and to go to my family's hotel to meet our airport car. My parents and brother have been visiting for about 5 days so far, and we're all off to Spain together! Our car to Gatwick was reasonably quick and we got there with enough time to spare for a Pret breakfast.
We had a mid-morning flight to Madrid, which was uneventful, and we arrived around 2:30 (including putting our clocks forwards an hour because Europe).
We got our hotel car, checked in, then headed out for a walk. We are only about 10 minutes walk from the Royal Palace, so we headed there, only to find that there was to be some kind of parade soon! The Royal Palace is beautiful and massive, we ended up using it as a landmark the whole time in Madrid. So we waited, but I was feeling a bit ill from the plane. Dad walked me back to the hotel for a rest, and then went back to watch the parade with the others. When they got back it was dinner time (dinner is eaten quite late here), and we find a local restaurant that did some delicious food (I had mini fish and chips and guacamole, delicious!).
Then it was bed time, with a little sleep in planned for tomorrow.
