We waited for the city bus tour for ages and it was freezing. We eventually gave up and went back to the hotel where we found out that it wouldn't be on until later today. Turns out we weren't on the same tour bus as te German pensioners were after all. So I got some warmer clothes on and we headed out on a sightseeing tour of our with Beate pushing the wheelchair she kindly hired for me. We went to the Madrid Cathedral. It is beautiful and my photos don't capture it at all. We lite some candles said our special prayers and headed out . There was an ITU triathlon on and we watched that for a while hanging around a triathlon brought back some memories. We saw the Palace too. Then we headed back to the hotel. Some of the way back was uphill an Beate had to push like crazy so I used my walking sticks as well to help and we were quite a sight to see. We had quite a few laughts. Some of the pavement is cobbled type and evey vibration is felt in my leg so laughter was the best distraction from that. I was exhausted though and we got a about an hours rest before heading back out to finally get our tour bus for a wiz around the city. It's beautiful and I'll come back some time when one can look around properly.
At dinner our German pensioners friends all wanted a chat and we shared our adventures of the day with each other. It was a very lovely evening.
We're heading out for more sightseeing today before I head home tonight on a flight I'm not looking forward to one bit.
