Day 2 in Madrid

We started off with a bus tour around the city. As I said, we were a bit amazed at the size, style and streets of this city. No one had ever said you must go there. Lots of trees in the major streets which was quite cooling.  

in the afternoon, we went to see another jaw dropping sight- Palacio Real. Over 2000 rooms of which we saw 20 and that was enough. And you are lucky, no pictures except for the first couple of rooms. I did take a photo of the royal family before the one that is ruling now and found it a bit strange as they were in modern dress. I thought they should have popped them behind 18thcentury cardboard cutouts. 

Heres a photo of the outside  

and the fam  - the fellow on the end is the present king

here we are recovering from all the opulence - 2 photos as I am refusing to do the selfie 

dad is in his Spanish hat. 

my hat is from England - works with rain too!

this is the palace. I put the wrong building in before. I removed it but I haven’t worked out how to move photos around yet. 

and that was enough for one day. The days are warmer so we finish earlier.
