BS 48-52

so im back in hk. i really had a marvelous trip, until i lost my hk id and credit card today.. fuuuuckk! anyway, let's get over it. they are gone for good and it should not impede my story telling about my madrid trip.

so the story continues...

i showed you the night shots of the palacio real and catedral de nuestra señora de almudena. i did the whole tour of palacio real which officially kicked off my madrid sightseeing journey. i was lost for an hour until i found my way to the main route. and boy it was so grand it's unbelievable! every room is filled with very rich designs and they are filled with luxurious stuff that it could intimidate anyone. i've never been to any palace before and i must tell you that what you see in the movies are not an exaggeration. when you leave the palace you'd feel that life is unfair that you live in a tiny room when the royalties lived in such elegance and richness... but somehow you'd feel proud that at least once in your life you were able to witness such a beauty.




infront of it is the biggest cathedral in madrid. i did a whole tour of it on my last day but photo taking was not allowed. it's just big on its size but i've seen better churches in this trip. it's just big and perhaps it is lucky to have been facing the palacio real the whole time that the association with a grand place gives it more credit than it deserves.



i woke up the next day very early to go to toledo, spain's former capital. i'll post more photos of toledo on my future posts, but meanwhile i share these photos that i took while waiting for the train. one is the madrid-atocha renfe station, then the agriculture ministry building. don't you just love madrid?!? it's so european as we imagined it to be. hihihi..
