Bienvenido a Madrid Today's destiny is the sunny Madrid. My departure was at 7 am so I awoke quite early. I have many travel companions due to the 'school trip', therefore I got to stay in Madrid for 4 days to go sight seeing and develop social and cultural skills. I checked the weather forecast for my stay, guess I will be taking the Dutch weather with me... Cloudy and partly rain...Well that's a bust. No tan for me then. After the flight we all waited for our busdriver to arrive, who was late which was actually no surprise. Her take off started amazing by dislocating a lamp which was attached to the wall, great driver! We were in a doubt if we were going to make it to the hostel alive. We surprisingly did. After we dropped our bags we decided to go to a super market to get a quick lunch. It started raining heavily so we are in a big hallway of a hotel, whilst sitting on a awfully cold ground. Our plan to make a walking tour around town literally washed away so we had the idea of going to a cinema, unfortunately it was closed and we were forced to return to the hostel. A couple hours later we went to a famous art museum (El Prado), which bored most of us. Because the museum was also a bust we walked to the metro station to view the turtles and flora which is represented there. With all the bad luck we had, the route was closed so we could not watch them. We continued our route to walk to a tapas restaurant, which was around 30 minutes. We first entered a bar, we were welcomed by shouting 'Beer beer! Who wants beer?!' We didn't quite know how to react on this and we were soon escorted out of the bar. Apparently the bar and the restaurant, which where identical where located nearby each other. We visited the wrong restaurant, not like the right restaurant was much better... We got bread with some really old cheese and weird tasting beef. They also served some fried balls stuffed with God knows what. Me and my friends claimed those because they were the only one which were not awful to eat. We tried the tapas, we gave it a chance but it didn't work out like we hoped. After our late dinner we were released, but we were too tired to go wandering around the city again. After some struggles we finally found our way back to the hostel. We showered and listened to music and eventually went to sleep.
