Hola Madrid!

Hola mi amor,

Last week I had a couple days off hospital and thought- hey, what the heck, let's go Spain!

I had such an amazing time, despite only being there for a couple of days. The weather was much warmer than the current 3 degrees I'm experiencing right now in Liverpool!

Looking back, I'm actually pretty surprised that very few people spoke English or were able to speak English. Now I wish I had paid enough attention in my language classes back when I was in secondary school. All I can recall is Hola, Gracias, No Hablo Espanol, and all the basic things I learnt from Dora the Explorer.

I finally experienced what it is to be an annoying tourist, I was lost 90% of the time and had my face constantly buried in a map. Despite this I most definitely would not change the experience, I loved every second of it. There were many beautiful historic sites, and museums available to visit. Plus, I'm pretty proud that I wasn't my usual lazy bum, and actually left the hotel room.

I stayed at The Miguel Angel Hotel, one of the most beautiful and luxurious hotel I've ever been. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to travel to Madrid. The Hotel package included a buffet breakfast, knowing me and village girl antics, I went with the mission to stuff my face.
