On 1/1/09 I got up at a fairly reasonable time, talked to Mum through eBuddy, had breakfast, did something, had lunch. Then Sandra and Louis came. They were spending the night with us because their parents were going to a spa resort. After a bit, Sandra, Thomas and I went out into the city of Madrid went in by train after missing a bus. We bought these things called churros which is a Spanish biscut, and some molten hot melted chocolate.
After 10 minutes of deliciousness we hopped on a train. After a couple of underground trains we were in Madrid. We had a walk about and had a look at various sights. One of the sights that really caught my attention (Hey, how could it not?) was a large puppet show on the front of a shopping place. We then went and saw Sol, the large clock which rings in the new year in Spain.
We then saw the town square, which had large neon lights around it.
We then went to a local café where me and Sandra bought a drink. I went to the bathrooms but they were too grubby. But that's another rant.
We then went to see the Royal Palace. On the way there, for some bizarre reason, there was a man lying down on the ground surrounded by a crowd of civilians and police men. We then reached the palace and it's large fountains.
We then took the underground to the bus station and waited for our bus. It did not appear so we had to take a much later bus. We walked the rest of the way home and I fell asleep as soon as I went to bed.
