Lovely day in madrid today- spent all morning at the embassy filling reports, getting photos, applications for emergency passport, etc etc. Result, pickpockets 1, Jamo 1. I should have a new (temporary) passport tomorrow morning. Spent the rest of the day at the palace (impressive but I'm over ostentatious displays of wealth and power, don't tell Rhonda) and then some more exploring before we hit the prado. It has free entry after 6, a little-known fact that we and about 1500 other people shared!

Would probably rate this town above barcelona, very impressive buildings, surprisingly hilly, and a visible and effective police presence. Ask me about the security to get in the front door of the embassy!
Off to Granada in the morning, in our rental car. Look out for the crazy Aussie causing mayhem on madrid's road system tomorrow.
