We spent 24 hours in Madrid shopping, eating tapas, drinking red wine and walking around the city parks before heading to the UK for a pitstop, to recharge the batteries before our next busy South America leg. Matt flew to Scotland and I to England. My first day in London I wandered along the river, read in cafes, visited the Tate Modern gallery and caught a film 'Alfred Hitchcocks - Notorious' at the British Cinema for their Ingrid Bergman week. Then I met up with Luke and we head out with some of his mates for the night/morning. So much for recharging the batteries, after a few days of catching up with friends and irresponsibly intoxicating myself every night whilst suffocating my chest infection with cough medicine I had a moment of clarity and decided enough is enough, it's time to relax, sleep and recouperate. So I head out to my Auntys in Sussex with mum and have spent the last two days eating, sleeping and watching television. Come to think of it I don't think I have left the house in 48 hours. Still, we had a really fun time in London. Mum and I rented a hotel room for a few nights and we lived it up by dining at The Fortnum and Masons Gallery restaurant where Luke works. We were lavished with free champagne and extras and I fullfilled my craving for oysters once more. Now, completely and utterly relaxed I am really looking forward to heading off again to Spain in a few days - Madrid and down to Granada for a week and a half.
Matt sounds like he is having fun in Scotland. I think they saw some snow at Becki's place where he is staying. I will find out more on Monday when we meet up again in Madrid. Entonces, hasta luego! xo
