Back to Madrid

Saturday saw us on the bus for a long journey north. The coach is about as good as you can get. It is a 55 seat coach that has been extended by 1 metre and then 15 seats removed to give you exceptional leg room and really clear vision of the surroundings.
As usual we stopped at one of the little rest points on the way north. Anyone wanting a little ham for the next meal has no difficulty finding it in Spain. Many of the stores have racks of this cured ham for sale.
This time our hotel is in the newer part of Madrid near the government Ministries. We are not sure of the intent of this sculpture which appears to be disaffected by either the fountain or the Ministry buildings behind it.
Tonight it is the farewell dinner then Back to Brighton (can't wait!)
