26th October – 30th October
We set out from Seville for Madrid, and our last couple of days hanging out with Tegan before she headed back to London. Once again, it was a beautiful drive (Well, for me, Ian may not agree as he was the one driving and contending with Spanish drivers).
We dropped off our car at the airport, found our apartment in Malasana for the next few days and got to exploring this big city. Whilst it may not have the huge list of touristy sites like some other European capitals, the city itself had plenty to offer.
Perhaps the most important was an emerging craft beer scene. Something that Ian was excited about, and given his birthday happened to coincide with our visit, it meant we definitely acquainted ourselves with a few beers. Having spent all year travelling in Europe and UK, we were also desperate for some good Ol Thai food (a much rarer and more costly experience in this part of the world). So, I found the best Thai I could in Madrid and that’s where we went to celebrate Ian’s 31st.
We also managed to see a few things other than just bars…
Well, it was now back to just Ian and I.. So we hired another car and decided to venture further north..
