In our last full day in Madrid, we headed over to the city's main park and took in some much needed fresh air. We haven't been sleeping well at all so we tried to rest up today but we'll see if it works. Each night it is ridiculously hot in our room because it is ridiculously hot in all of Madrid. So, we get up and open the window. But it's really, really loud all night in the plaza outside our room so we close the window... but then it gets really hot again so we open the window... but then it gets really loud so we cry.
Seriously we've been waking up sweating in the morning...
The good news is that Lisbon is going to be 15 -20 degrees cooler. Yes!
We went to the park and saw the beautiful main pool in the center of the park as well as a miniature model of the hanging gardens of Babylon.
Afterwards, we headed back the long way to our hostel and saw some more streets and plazas of Madrid. We also tried to go to the National Natural History and Science museum but we got there only to realize that it was closed. The museum is run out of the Engineering School of the Madrid University.
In the evening, Matt and I went out for Kebabs and then we met up with our Italian friends from the hostel in Sevilla and went out to a club in a barrio of Madrid. What we didn't know until we got there is the Italians were taking all of us to a gay club. Still, we had a pretty good time there and got back about a half hour ago.
Happy birthday to my brothers! They're 10 today!
Off to Lisbon tomorrow. We're taking a night train so I'll blog from Lisbon in two days
