Name:

We both like to travel, especially to visit family and friends around the world. Coming from Australia and Sweden and having family in Texas and California, most of our trips are to these places. And now we've embarked on a very long trip, visiting about 30 countries, so we thought we'd share our journey with you...

Day trips to El Escorial and Toledo

We came to Madrid on May 23. We´re staying in an apartment, which is good because then we can cook instead of eating at restaurants all of the time. We went to see the Royal Palace in the afternoon since it was raining.

During the last two days, we have taken day trips to El Escorial (visited the monastery where a lot of Spain´s monarchy is buried) and Toledo (saw the Cathedral and a lot of paintings by El Greco). Both are very different cities.

Tomorrow we will sightsee more in Madrid.
