First of all I have to say that the train from Lisbon to Madrid is truly shite. It has to be the noisiest and slowest train I have seen in Europe so far, nothing a bottle of wine couldn’t fix though.

I have been in Madrid for the past couple of nights. This place is really great, it has a very different vibe to Lisbon but I have been having a lot of fun. Tomorrow we are off to Toledo which hopefully will be good fun and the day after we have booked tickets to Barcelona.

I have been staying at a friend of stuarts place on a couch which is great, Clem is a nice guy and has been showing us around town a bit and generally steering us off the well trodden tourist track.

Anyway it’s late here and I need to go and collapse, will update again when I get time.
