Paul arrived into Madrid from Accra via Lisbon at 9.00am. Lynette had caught the metro to meet him from her Student accommodation where she has been studying Spanish for the last three weeks. Enjoyed at cup of cafe con leche at the airporto before buying the metro tickets from P2 for 5 euro each back into town. We repacked, showered and headed to the train station Chamartin where in the parking lot is a luggage storage facility for 3.60 euro a day. We left Lynette's suitcase and enjoy a bocadillo before boarding the 14.30 train to Santander. This was a 4 hour journey where we could watch the changing country side go past. Lot of beautiful poppy by the side of track, vast plains, snow covered mountains, hilly country, industrial estates, towns amazing roads and bridges, lots to see. Once we arrived in Santander we checked into the Silken Coliseum hotel dropped our backbacks then went in search of good beer. We went via the waterfront first stopped for the first beer, then went up onecof the many pedestrian streets where we had our second with tapas before continuing to a restaurant where we had a glass of red with gourmet burger, ot bad for a first day. Looking forward to walking tomorrow, we have breakfast included so don't think it will be an early start.
