Guess what?? I am seating in front of a brand new 22 -freaking- inch computer & typing on a keyboard that doesn't have cookie crumbs in it!! Although, it's not meant to be, I'll just think of it as a Christmas present to my brother and me. Okay, settled. :DDDOkay, let's start with the pics again.
Day 10 & 11- Madrid
We took a day tour of Madrid in the Hop On-Hop Off bus like the Hippo Tour sort which screams, "TOURISTS!!!". Anyway, I sat on top & it was a HUGE mistake cos it was so flipping cold. The temperature in Madrid is already very cold (-1 to 3 degrees Celcius) & plus the wind?
Saw this really pretty building. I like the angel on top.
We hopped off at the Real Palace. The inerior is kinda like one of the palace I visited in Russia.
The view of Madrid city from the balcony of the palace. I like the clouds. :)
Real Madrid fans, eat your hearts out. This is the Santiago Bernabéu stadium aka the home of...........
We had lunch at the Real Cafe. It was awesome cos the food was good & the cafe was facing the football field. :DD Not like there was a match at that time but still... & I tried the Spanish drink, Sangría which is really, really good. It's made of red wine, fruit juice, brady & carbonated water. The best thing was that you couldn't taste the alchocol at all and it kept you warm. :DThe receptionist at the cafe was really good-looking. Uh-huh. He looked pretty stressed too. I couldn't find the souvenir shop. (Sorry, Gwen!!)
I saw this super cute things outside El Corte Inglés which is Spain''s largest department store. Notice the chef on the most right? Her hands were actually moving. Aaaah, so cute! I wonder if the chocolates were real, it definitely wouldn't melt in that weather.
On the way from Madrid to Barcelona, we saw snow again. The snow was pretty thick this time.
My hands were frozen stff from not wearing gloves. The people behind us puposely drove in to film us. They must be thinking, "This group of Chinos (that's spanish for Chinese), tsktsk, first time see snow!"
In Zaragoza, we went to visit Catedral-Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar where the Virgin Mary visited St. James. The place is insanely beautiful.
VALENTINO BOUTIQUE!! I WANT THAT DRESS!!
I love the LV design. It's so classy. My aunts & mum spent like a total of 3 hours in the LV, Gucci & Loewe boutique, buying a total of 15 bags and wallets. Tsktsk.
Went to La Roca Village which is kinda like a factory outlet of branded good. The Christmas decorations (above) there was very nice.
Day 15- Flight from Barcelona to Singapore
