Spain 2010 Madrid

Madrid was the final stop on our Euro trip. Once we got into town we decided to return the rental car. There isn't much need for a car in a well established city. Madrid has a great Subway and Bus system.We traveled all over the city on foot and Subway. We saw all the tourist spots and had a few great dinners.

On our return to the airport we decided to take the subway. Which would have worked great, but when we left the hotel they informed us they were on strike and no trains would be running for a few days. We decided to head to the station and see if we could catch a bus instead. In the end we walked a few miles to find the bus station that went to the airport. After waiting for the bus for 30 minutes with no sign of it. We had to jump in a taxi to ensure we wouldn't miss our flight. Once we arrived at the airport we had plenty of time. Our flight was delayed several hours which made for an extremely tight connection in Dallas. In the end we made it home with out any problems. We had an amazing trip and I hope I return to Spain again some day.
