My night in the hotel was wonderful after the night before! I slept in this morning as I didn't have to leave until 10am. I got the bus to the airport and by the time I got through security had only half an hour before boarding. I had Maccas and discovered they serve beer! I didn't expect that! I don't drink it, I was just surprised. The flight was short and we landed in Madrid 20min prior to the scheduled time. I'm beginning to think some European airlines actually put arrival times later than the actual flight time as this was not the first time this happened. Anyway, it took me 3 trains to reach the station near my hostel but I made it. This place seems to be in the middle of lots of action (the streets are full of people) but the hostel itself seems quiet. It is technologically advanced using a fingerprint as your room key!
I decided to go walking the streets and find the supermarket. I also found the Mercado de San Miguel, a popular foodies place. Not a market in the sense we know it but a place with a stack of food & drink vendors selling small probs of food to eat there. I had dinner there. Mozzarella on bread with tomato, rocket, smoked ham, onion jam & balsamic vinegar followed by fried calamari & limonade (think maybe it was more like a white sangria type drink) followed by churros with hot chocolate then I had a strawberry coffee. Now I'm super fat & need one of those siestas to recover lol.
