hot night in madrid

A few days later and we are in Madrid. It´s a hot night following a very hot day ie 40 deg + and we are sitting in an internet cafe at 10:30pm and the place is alive!!! We´ve taken a zillion photos but they´re all much the same ie fountains, architecture, palaces etc but I´ll sort them all out later. We spent the last few days in Barcelona - what a buzz that place is!! I swam in the Mediterranean for the first time and.... its not as good as Byron! The weather is consistently very hot and people emerge at night as you might expect. Tomorrow we "do" Madrid then catch the overnight train to Lisbon - thank goodness back on the coast! Everything has worked like clockwork so far (tempting fate?) and I am becoming a huge fan of train travel. we´ve stayed in some great, and not so great, hotels and are having great fun trying to communicate with the locals wherever we go (with mixed success!. Adious for now...
