We got to Madrid fine, but then Kai and I had to queue for ages to get the hire car. This put us squarely in the Friday evening rush hour and after getting stuck in two motorway jams, we decided to take the scenic route. After several passes I was tempted to start singing ‘The bear went over the mountains’. We ended up on roads which were too minor to be on the map. We did stop off for a quick bite to eat at 9.30pm and finally got there at 11pm! Five hours to get there.

A couple of bottles of wine with Nicky later, we staggered to bed in a lovely house in town.
