Sunny Madrid

Wrangled into a bright and shiny airport of glass and steel, morning came much too early for me. Greeted by a friendly "Buenos Dias" disembarking the flight, I was reminded they do speak Spanish in SPAIN. So I brushed up on all my known Spanish phrases: Hello, Goodbye, Yes, No, and Where is the house of Pepe?. Ready.

Budget travel involves lots of waiting by its very nature. Off hour flights, mismatched time schedules, and a general attitude of taking what you can get for the best price is key. So, a few hours in Madrid and then off to Dakar.
