We got ripped off today. Our fault but I wish we'd put up more of a fuss. Wendy threw out the train ticket when we got off the train at Atocha station and we couldn't get out without it. The Bastardoes charged us $16.60 as a fine. I ask you people with two young children getting that fine. We obviously had just made a mistake. Anyway we paid it like the good English heritage types we are. Then we walked and walked and walked trying to find a nice cafe/restaurant with reasonable food with no smoke! The last criteria is the most tricky. We finally found one Tapas del Mondo (Tapas of the world) ordered reasonably but found we'd ordered large once the cuenta came. The portions were small but with a big price. But of course we no make a fuss. I felt p'd off after we'd paid but it was too late by then. Next time I will grow some Cahones!!!
The main thing we did today was go to the Palacio Real (royal palace). Truely amazing unbelievable and not expensive. Henry loved the Armoury we were all awe struck by the opulence. I can see why there have been so many revolutions. How did the Royal families ever survive when any commoner saw the rooms in these palaces. You need to see it to believe it.
