First night in Madrid and I couldn't be more content. I arrive at 9 in the morning. Caroline greats me inside the airport and we take the metro to her flat near the city center. After an egg sandwhich and shower we take a pleasant walk around the city, split salad and pizza and grab a cup of coffee. But still I was in need of a siesta. So we take the metro back and within 30 seconds of hitting that pillow I was gone. Never has waking up to realize where you are felt so good. I am in Madrid, Spain! I had this similar effect when waking up in Auckland. But for some reason it is different here. I haven't felt this at peace before. Then we went out again for a little stroll since it is so nice out at night. We went to Areil. This bar had a great atmosphere. It looked like it could've been a hookah shop. Instead we heard the dj playing shaggy and other funky laid back jams while we sat on the bed in the corner drinking our "Cana" (little beer). And yes I said bed. Strange pero perfecto.
Madrid is awesome. Yes it sometimes smells of piss, and all of the walls are covered in grafitti (which I love), and I get turned around, but it's character is undeniable.
Today was an amazing day. I can't wait for tomorrow.
Pics/video to come. Adios.
