Sept 1
Landed in Madrid about 8 AM. Wandered around until we met other people on the tour. Found the Insight person and then on our coach to the hotel – swanky place so far.
Now for a nap.
Had a long nap. Had a nice shower, the showerhead is a rain shower head so that was kind a neat. Then we went out and about and went for a walk to see what was around though the hotel.
Came back to the hotel and sat in the bar and talk to a couple from Florida they’re on our tour. Everybody came down into the lobby and we loaded onto the coach and off through the city to a restaurant for supper.
The coach drop this off by the palace we walked up a couple of flights of stairs cause we were in an underground garage and wondered about a block to the restaurant. The police in this area are mounted and everywhere.
A bunch of different things, little tapas, there was fish involved. I wasn’t impressed but the pastries were good and the coffee was strong at the end. Yes I’m drinking espresso.
Back onto the coach and back to the hotel everybody looks very tired. Most of the group flew in today or last night. It was a good first day
Awesome. Great to hear that the first day was good. You know the King saying start the way you want to continue. Hope you guys have a great holiday and I’m looking forward to your updates on here
