MADRID, AUGUST 2005
Since we could not afford non-stop flight New York - Poland, we decided to have 12 hour layover in Madrid, Spain.
It is a great way to see foreign country at no extra cost.

Madrid - Madrid

We arrived in Madrid at 7 am, hopped on one (three actually) of the double-decker touristy busses and saw the whole (not really) city. We hopped-off every time there was a smell of a good food in the air. All day we ate grat food (Bacalao!!!) and drank grat cerveza.
Around 5 pm (exhausted) we dragged ourselves to the airport to catch our flight to Berlin (great 1 1/2 hour nap on the plane before landing :o)
All together we had a fantastic day in Madrid!!!

    Thanks for your reply to my question in the Madrid forum - I'll definitely think about the metro if my suitcase isn't too heavy ;o)
