We had a 10:30am flight from Marrakech to Paris and then from Paris to Madrid. This meant we had to be up at 6:00am, up to the rooftop restaurant at 7:00am and in a car to the airport at 7:30am.
Normally the restaurant is not open until 8:00am; however, two
came in early and served us a nice breakfast before we left.
Again, this was probably the best service, nicest people and
best hotel stay that we have ever had.
Have there been better hotels – yes, but nothing like this
one.
In additional Marrakech is unlike anywhere we have ever been. Written words simply do not describe what we
have seen and we are so blessed to have gone there.
So, we spent the rest of the day flying and in airports before
getting to Madrid at 7:20pm and to the hotel by 9:30pm. Then we simply checked into the hotel and
went to bed.
Day 17 –
We woke up in time to take a 3-hour Tuk-Tuk tour of central Madrid
and the old city and it was run. It was
raining a little when we started the tour and then cleared up for the rest of
the daytime and evening.
After the tour, we had lunch at a Tappas restaurant and of
course had a glass of wine.
Then we spent the rest of the day in the Galleria Royal
Collections which is basically the national art gallery attached to the Royal
Palace. It took us about 4 hours to
visit the entire museum and it was a wonderful display of art and the history
of Spain.
At this point we went back to the room and crashed waking up
at 8:00pm.
We then took an Uber to a small street with lots of Tappas
restaurants and stopped at two of them for dinner and of course had wine each
time.
It is not midnight and time to go to bed.
Instead of taking a lot of time to download all the
pictures, we did a short video for you to see what we have experience, starting
with breakfast with the house cat at our Riad in Marrakech.
Tomorrow is another day in Madrid before heading home.
Night for now\
