We\u2019re in Madrid! The flight was easy, less than eight hours in length and we arrived early. We\u2019ve been in the Madrid Airport several times and it\u2019s always been chaotic with long lines and now new machines that take a photo and your fingerprints. Once we exited we found the 203 Bus that took us to the Atocha Train Station. The price is 5 Euros \u2026 \u00a0it\u2019s very crowded, (standing room only) packed with people from all over the world and their luggage. Convenient though!<\/p>\n

The first day of a trip is difficult because of lack of sleep and the 6-hour time difference. We usually take a 2-3 hour rest before we hit the streets. We decided to only spend one night on Madrid ( with some regret) but we are leaving for Caceras tomorrow morning so a hotel near the train station made sense. We like the Only You Hotel with a smallish but very comfortable room.<\/p>\n

We found a wonderful Italian Restaurant for dinner near the hotel this evening \u2026we have plenty of time for tapas at the next stops! We\u2019re here, happy, and getting reading for the next stop! Now for more rest and a new day tomorrow!<\/p>\n

Adios!<\/p>\n
