Malcolm commented that the trains in Spain are well-mantained and I totally agree with him!
After exploring abit of Madrid on the same day, we have to wake up really early the following morning to head to Malaga. It was a 3 hour train ride. From there, we took a 45 minute Metro ride to Fuengirola. This hotel was the best amongst all the hotels/hostels we stayed.
Fuengirola is by the sea. It felt really good to smell the salt and feel the breeze of the sea.
Had Fish N Chips with beer!!
Next day we went back to Malaga to visit the shopping areas and the old town. Overview from the hill!
Then, we went to Gibraltar the following day. Gibraltar is really a small country, and she is part of the United Kingdom. They use the British Pounds as their currency. The landmark would be this slab of rock. From almost every part of the country, one can see the peak of the rock! This is from the south of the country.
And this is taken at the border of Spain and Gibraltar.
The next day we took a 7 hour train ride to Santiago. There's this church here, where people walk from countries as far as France or Germany. And you can see the moment of joy when they arrive at their final destination.
My favourite thing to do is the feed the birds! So I always put aside leftover bread after a meal. Hehe.
Next day we went to A Corona and see see lor... I was kinda getting sick of everything already. Hahaha.
It's called the Hercules tower or something...
At night we took the sleeping train to proceed back to Madrid. I had a room to myself whereas Malcolm had to squeeze with like 3 other men. Yay!
Arrived in Madrid and had Churros!
Went to a theme park and thank God the weather was awesome!!! This was the scariest roller coaster ride ever!! The initial part would be going vertically upwards then a 90 degree turn upside down! I was so terrified and closed my eyes throughout.
The leg-hanging wasn't so bad even though it had loops and cock screws. So you can see a smile! :DD Actually I was feeling kinda nauseous at that moment.
Towards the evening we went to watch bull fight.
Little did I know that bulls would be killed and humiliated in front of the whole stadium during a bull fight. The red cloth thing is to make the bull grumpy and all, but eventually the bull fighter will stab a sword all the way in into the bull's back. Sad right! I started to youtube bull fights and saw a couple of incidences the bull fighter being seriously injured or killed. I felt kinda happy because bull fighters are so heartless when they kill those innocent bulls! But I can't say much lah, because I eat beef. Heh... Anyway this has been a tradition for so many years and local old men love watching it.
Next day walked around Madrid. Was tired tired tired. Hehe..
So I'm back here in Germany! For those who are following me in twitter, you can see the frustration I have about my brother. But I am so serious. I ain't exaggerating.. Nevermind.
ONE MORE WEEK TO HOME! OLE!
