Madrid

Madrid totally agreed with me, I had such an awesome time that I am contemplating moving in with Luis, taking over his spare bedroom and learning, or shall I say improving my Spanish. I slept better than I did in years, we ate ice cream every day and the weather was amazing. Spanish men seem really laid back and can frequently be seen holding their pregnant wife's hand in public. For me, Mardid was a fusion of Zagreb and London. Great museums but a continental feel.

As soon as I arrived I noticed a beautiful blue necklace on the side table.
Luis said I can have it as it belongs to a friend whom he hasn't seen in a
long while. I made sure I did not forget anything at his place after that....




We found this in a small alley....
it made me want to marry Marco.



Spanish people have a thing for bears...unknown reason.







I made Luis take me to Faunia, a really crap and expensive
animal park that featured polar enclosure...need I say more?



Two hours later...





They also had an impressive butterfly collection although it was
slightly creepy walking in the simulated rain forest with butterflies
the size of my breasts flying around your head.





I know it is not immediately recognisable as I am covering
most of Europe, but I was sitting on Croatia.

Our day trip to Aranjez..
