Day 10 - Madrid - nice relaxing day

Finally got to sleep in today but damm I had the worst sleep in ages. Shared a bed with one of the chicks but her snoring just totally shocked me. Couldn't count how many times I woke up during the night but it was def more than 10 times.

Anyway, I managed to survive with lack of sleep and went for a guided walk around Madrid. Headed to lunch around one of the Plaza's. (there is so many, I couldn't keep count!!)

After lunch we headed to Retiro Park to chill... the park was massive and it had an amazing pond where you could hire boats to row... it was such a beautiful day... really wish I can come more often and just enjoy the scenery and do some people watching... parks are such a good place to spend some quality time with your loved ones or just by yourself. Perfect!!

We had a flamenco show at 9pm. Both the male and female dancers were sooooo good!! The intensity of their moves and rhythm were just amazing and breathtaking. Would def love to watch another show in the future. Def worth watching one if you guys haven't done so.

After the show, we headed for dinner at a famous restaurant recommended by a lot of locals. We wanted to go there for lunch but it was full so we secured a booking for dinner instead. You could def taste the diff in quality of the food with the restaurants we went to previously... the food was really good and fresh. The mango cheesecake was a stand out!! Don't know how to describe it but it just tastes way better than the normal cheese cakes we get in other bakeries.

Such a great meal to end the night!!
