Madrid 8th day

Oh my god, last day!!!! Bangun pagi, check out, and we have to pull our bag all the way to anywhere we want to go. Sebab? Hostel tutup, chrismas eve kan... srott srett srott srett lah dok tarik bag. Kalau atas jalan licin, senyap lah sket. Kalau atas jalan yang tak rata. Bising gila!

We filled in the morning stomach with something sweet from a bakery shop. Nak dijadikan cerita, maybe bakery shop ni tersangatlah popular (kot la...) so memang tak boleh nak masuk pon kalau peak hours. Alhamdulillah rezeki kitorang kot, orang-orang Madrid bangun lambat today, so kitorang dapat jugaklah berurus niaga. Iman got herself a very heavy meringue, while Kak Sureen and me got sweet pastries.

Dari mula-mula sampai Madrid, asyik sebut pasal nak pergi palace waktu malam, tapi tak jugak sempat pergi. So, we head straight to the palace once we bought the sweet breakfast. The Palacio Real de Madrid (The Royal Palace of Madrid) is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family at the city of Madrid, but is only used for state ceremonies. Tak de orang lain pon masa kitorang sampai situ. So, dengan gembiranya lah melompat-lompat ambil gambar dekat courtyard tu. Siap ada pak cik main lagu christmas lagi. Happy nya suasana... Then, sempat jugak lah aku dan Iman pergi ke Plaza de Espana yang has nothing tu.

Selesai 'shooting', time untuk isi perut lah kan? We went to entah apa nama kedai (lupa) konon-konon nak guna free wifi. But, we ended up order makanan jugak, sampai dua kuali seafood paella okay? Hahaha. Melantak macam hape je... Tak cukup dengan paella, we ordered ice cream too. Tapi dia hantar frozen yogurt. We were like "Errr, lantak lah. Makan je la". Even pak cik kat sebelah meja kitorang pon tau yang waiter tu hantar order salah.

Dah habis melantak, sambung jalan pergi bus station. Sambil-sambil tu, sempat jugaklah snap a few photos. Okay, I lied. There were hundreds of photos taken for that morning only. So you could just imagine how crazy I would be when having a camera handy. Haha. Konon-konon bajet professional la kan... Padahal hampeh je.. Haha.

Airport madrid memang bagus sebab ada mezquita aka masjid. Jarang kan ada masjid kat Europe ni. So, with this masjid in the airport, it is like a blessing given. So aku solat di situ sebelum take off.

Sesampai di london, ya Allah happynyer... Pastu sesat nak check in travelodge sampai ke Kentish Town. Entah celah mana kitorang redah. It should be Grafton Place, bukan Grafton Crescent. I asked a local who was about to send Christmas presents for his family. He said while showing his map on iPhone,
You're no where near Travelodge. You see this. You 're here and the hotel is there
But, it stated that it's near Grafton Place?
Yes, but this is Grafton Crescent. Not Grafton Place. You've to take the tube back to Euston.
Oh? Thank you!!! 
Ceh, harapkan iPhone, iPhone makan kaki. Merepek betul. Sama je la ngan map phone aku pon. Dengan perut masuk angin lapar nya... Haaa dah check in, terus makan Taza kebab yang sempat kitorang pau dekat Bayswater tadi. Bila dapat katil bouncy, yeay tidur dengan lena beserta an hour jet lag. LOL
