Adeios Espano!

Jgal -
Its our last day in Spain today! Having spent the last 10 days in Spain, I´ve grown acustomed to Spanish lifestyle....this means that i must have a siesta after lunch nowadays, and wine with every meal!! But Jgal is also missing her Sliced Fish Bee Hoon and Tom Yum soups...Need to get a Singapore fix soon :) Madrid is also really cold...its 11 degrees even though the sun is shining brightly! Miss home...

Kboy -
Last wrote from Seville just before we were off to Granada. Granada and the alhambra started off badly with terrible grey and rainy weather, no shelter, a bad ticket booking experience so we had to pay twice for entry into the alhambra. Luckily the palaces and the generalife gardens were spectacularly beautiful and the sun made a brief appearance in the evening. It was then off to Madrid on a late evening train, where we were almost conned by a rogue taxi driver! Good thing jgal had her wits about her and quickly ran to the hotel to get some help from the receptionist, who managed to talk down the driver!!

Madrid is a big city with the usual shops, museums etc ... Getting a bit of traveller fatigue - just had our last meal of paella and sangria!

Sounds real lovely! =)
Makes me nostalgic of all those places - Alhambra, Generalife gardens, Seville, Madrid... etc.
Monserrat was beautiful - did you manage to hear the wonderful choir boys sing? =)
