Madrid 2014

Flew via Thai Airways.. finally reached Madrid, Spain

Proceeded to Hotel Atlantico
Great location along Gran Via (Aka Spore Orchard Rd)

Walked along the streets of Gran Via..
Beautiful buildings along the way
 

Our breakfast for the day.. or maybe lunch..

Puerta De Alcala

At the entrance of Retiro Park

Nice music along the way while we strolled in the park

The lake in Retiro park where there are pple paddling boats and children feeding ducks

Still in retiro park

Took a rest near the lake and took the chance to take a photo together when someone passed by
Great place to rest and watch the world go by...

More of Retiro park.
The relaxing pace there will take away some of your stress

Plaza De Cibeles

Entrance of Temblo De Debod

Templo De Debod

Inside Templo de Debod
With the cravings on the walls

Close up of the wall cravings that tell us about the life in the past..

The back of Templo de Debod



View of the grand palace from Templo De Debod

Made our way to the Grand Palace
The sun is too hot and I am feeling tired already
Sat on the steps outside the Grand Palace while Daddy continued to take more pics

Cathedral

Nice doors of the cathedral

Inside the cathedral.

Chanced upon St Miguel..
Lots of food here.. though we dun really know how to enjoy the kind of food

The typical stall
 

Dinner with colleague at St Miguel..
Photo at the famous Bear and strawberry tree at Puerta de Sol
The female bear symbolizes the fertile soil of Madrid and the tree symbolizes aristocracy

The last stop of the day.. Plaza Mayor..

Then back to our hotel..
A day with lots of walking.. but a fruitful day indeed..

Brandon's turn

Ready for the camera at all times.
When about to reach.. he let go of one hand and said he was pretending to be like a cowboy!!

opportunistic feeding of the pony

Feeding of another pony..
Look at the joy on that face

Taking a break

We really had a great time!
Nice place here.. feels as if we are in another country.

Brian offered to help us take a picture

Ice cream on the grass.. on a hot sunny day..


Old style.. but nice..

The 2nd part of our sunday outing.. to the aquarium..

appreciating the fishes

Not really my cup of tea.. but well.. something different for the kids..
Another great family day out!

Weekend eating out..



The fish market at Parkway
