Madrid is a very relaxed city with hundreds of parks and plaza's to relax in and watch the world go by. And there are some very strange people in that world. Performance art seems to be the thing on the streets with man dressed up as babies in pushchairs, women as statues and one bloke dressed as a pot plant. Well I suppose it's a living.

Visited the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Palacio Real. It certainly gives Buckingham Palace a run for its money even if the Royal Family moved out years ago. The throne room is a work of art in itself.

Now off to the airport, fighting the crowds attending the Spanish premier of El Rey León at the theatre next door.
