A Busy Day

Early morning, while waiting at cash machines across road from our apartment, we saw Novak Djokovic go jogging past. Took open-top bus tour of Historic Madrid, lunch and lazy afternoon at El Retiro park and a bit of culture at Prado.

Thirty three years before, Steve and I were returning from Portugal in our 2CV with Laura and Jody. I was pregnant with as yet undiagnosed twins and we'd spent a night with friends in the city. We decided to visit the Prado before we left but heat forced us to abandon gallery in favour of boating in the park. When we returned to car all our luggage had been stolen but the thieves had thankfully left our tickets for the ferry.

This time we managed park and gallery without mishaps. Spent evening on rolling tour of bars, squares and tapas. Perfect end to a perfect day!
