Madrid has endless nightlife, we laughed as we left the apartment this morning at 6:00 a.m. and found the streets full of young people still out on the town. The garbage crews were out as well, they never experience a lonely shift, as this city never sleeps. We walked down to the plaza to catch the express bus to the airport, people were everywhere and all the city buses were running and busy enough, considering the hour.
Madrid is very noisy, we were lucky we had an apartment with a view of walls and other apartments, as that indicated that we were not on the street side, which would have resulted in little sleep, our place was very quiet at night.
When we got to Brussels it was raining like mad and very windy, but we were about to be spoiled by our Belgian friends who picked us up at the airport and took us to lunch. We had a lovely lunch, then we checked into our hotel and the four of us walked to an Irish pub. After a fantastic visit, we bid our friends farewell.
Tomorrow we fly home, we are planning to take a bus to the airport but there is to be a trade union strike, so we don’t know how it will all work out. Plan B is, of course, a taxi.
