So we
got to the train station all fine and got our tickets about 30 mins before the
train was going to leave….over the past 20 days we have learned the system
pretty well we think. Our high speed
train from Barca to Madrid was little under 3 hours. At many points of the trip the train was
going 300km/hr (186mph). Fastest train
we have been on all trips and it was SOOOO QUIET!!!! It was amazing actually.
We arrived
and found our hotel pretty easy from this main square in Madrid. This square was packed with people and fast
food, normal food, and shops. In about 3
blocks I saw a McDonalds, 2 burger kinds, KFC, Starbucks and some other European
type food places. The funny thing is
though, other than this square being packed and a few blocks surrounding it
everything else was very empty and quiet.
I did not expect this after coming from Barca where it was pretty packed
everywhere. So far Madrid has been
pretty quiet in terms of tourist type place compared to everywhere else we have
been on our entire trip.
Our
hotel is amazing…. For 3 nights it is costing us 127euro TOTAL….cheapest place
of all the places we stayed on our entire trip and this place has great AC,
nice bathroom, a Kitchen, a real Full bed (not 2 beds pushed together), and a
couch. We actually were blown away. We made dinner here our first night, well Lexii
made the dinner and I just kept making our “homemade makeshift sangria mix.”
