The first thing I noticed this morning was my sore throat.
We went to a city tour on our coach in the morning. If the city of Madrid is boring, our local tour guide was even worse. I didn't see anything interesting in the Madrid city, except for a couple of grand fountains. The city tour was so boring, I fell into sleep at one point.
We went to Toledo in the afternoon. Toledo was a former capital of the Spanish empire. It is a beautiful and well-preserved medieval town that was declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. The Cathedral of Toledo in the middle of the town is spectacular and I heard that it is still a royal cathedral. The main door of the cathedral still only open for the Spanish King (and therefore is called the Door of the Kings).
During the bus ride back to Madrid city, our tour guide was busy filling
us up with the rich history of the Madrid. But May and I were more
interested in marking down all the nice shopping areas because we know
that we would later make our way back to the city tonight and we'd
better know where we are going. We took a cab to downtown and spend few hours shopping. Eventually we had Tapa (Spanish snack) for dinner.
