Driving into Madrid was a nightmare !!!

Oh my god !! I thought driving in Paris was tough.  This place has tunnels everywhere. We got sucked into one tunnel and ended up 10 km's across town. It then took an hour to get back across town. There are also one way streets everywhere so even when you work out where you are, you can't get where you need to get. In the end Carolyn jumped in a taxi and gave the driver the apartment address and I tailed him in the van not letting him out of my sight. It then only took us 5 mins - great strategy if you get lost in a foreign city. Hamilton liked saying "follow that taxi !!"

Have locked up the car for the next 4 days whilst we explore Madrid on foot !!

First walk around Madrid last night was great. Our apartment is only a 10 min walk to the old town which looks fantastic. Dinner was a plate of grilled meats and some Spanish wine - all good.

Adios.
