She's done!

Today was our last full day in Madrid and by the end of it we are ready to move on.

This morning was another trip to the laundromat to set us with fresh clothes for the next little while and then late this morning it was off to Sol on the Metro.

We walked the shops again to get some items we had seen yesterday and needed an overnight decision before making a purchase - I'm glad we are flying with an airline that gives 30kg baggage allowance rather than the meagre 23kgs as the extra 14kgs will come in handy!!

Found a view of the city from a 9th floor terrace of a large department store and it was surprising how "disoriented" we were having moved around the city mainly underground - away in the distance we could see a tower that we could have touched this morning but it was in a completely different direction than I would have guessed

Mid afternoon we went looking for a park to find some shade from the main heat of the day and ended up in a park very near the Palacio Real which we had visited days earlier - we weren't the only ones at the park and finding a seat in the shade was no easy task.

Around the area there were some attractive buildings - a church in particularly as well as the view of the Palacio from the rear
