Travel Italy Spain for two weeks running tally (D7, D8)

D7 (September 21) Venice-Madrid

Lie-in, climbing up the check-out, carrying a large bag travel to Venice Rome square, first through the 500 m to the train station take the package to Lucia posted.

(Here send packet, 5 hours regardless of duration are 3.8 Europe, 5 – 12 hours between each hour 0.6 Europe, some of the more than 12 hours per hour 0.5 Europe, in General, the longer the cheaper) and then continue my tour of the Venetian lanes.

Today, indecision, and some interesting discoveries.

For example, Venice, only two hospitals (marked on the map), a house in the southwest of the Canal, a canal in the East.

Hospital ambulance is a yacht, as marked AMBULANZA, rescue facilities are readily available. One of the hospital and a church just a wall away, one entrance to the square. Visitors and patients, the believers and the doctor, the priest must be very busy.

Walked, saw a ship repair of shop, several workers busy is a repaired boat into the water.

Silly me, they stood by their actions. A turn-of-sight slightly, the dock is a supermarket next to the original Venice also have larger supermarkets! supermarket is also a lot of goods, the prices are also reasonable, compared to the alley of the grocery store but much cheaper. Of course, local residents to live! unfortunately not able to find a local chat, it would be interesting to know their daily life. Maybe a cat can give me the answer. In full sunshine of a bridge, stood squarely sits a big cat. It earnestly really cleaning himself, licking the claw, rubbed his face, he squinted eyes and enjoying the Sun touch. I give it photographic, it didn't seem to mind the idea, continue whereafter and beauty. Look at it, a Chinese saying it up: Ning for justices of the dog (CAT), not for troubled times.

Go to afternoon, hungry, like, a glimpse of Venice's dining flavor, after all, to Italy not to eat authentic Italy face! so find a restaurant sat down.

See the menu, appears to be passable, a cuttlefish sauce Italy side. 10 minutes later, the noodle up, inconspicuous, the taste was OK. Not much, although I do not, or stomach felt half full. No wonder that dude I just point a surface, and ask a sentence to determine it. Check out go! at billing, startled: 13 euro. The menu, as long as 9 Europe! original also 2 European seat fees, 2 euro service charge. It seems that the next time I want to eat standing up, you can save 20 RMB! 130 Ocean Ah, yes I've ever eaten the most expensive noodles! may not have pretended nonchalant way pay, pay for his curse his side. Leaving man give me a hotel business card, but I think my life is certainly will not come again.

Almost six o'clock, I have no continuing tour of interest, although the night view of Venice is beautiful.

Directly to the train station take the package, and then to the Roma square, take the airport minibus. There are two airports of Venice, a short name is Marco Polo international airport, VCE, distance 10 km around the island. In the northeast corner of the Venetian Islands can be seen on the airport of landing aircraft; the other is a Venice TEREVISO airport 20 km, in, mainly for low-cost airlines planes taking off and landing, as I mentioned before RYANAIR flights. Roman square respectively to two airports of departure, every half an hour and a ban, at 8: 30 o'clock. Fares are 3 euro and 5 euros. In Mestre train station, also in a green car price. So very convenient.

My flight is at 10: 15.

8: 30 start receiving boarding passes. The Italy MM seems not to trust the Chinese, or if the response is slow, I used the letter in the passport of the personal information page and the visa page place, easy to find her. Partial people don't appreciate that a pull the paper out, and then start pressing the page up and down. Unfortunately, the last also have my own take visa and passport extension page means to her.

A security check when depressing thing.

My 300 ml tiehe loading of Sonia via skin cream were confiscated. Because the claims in the EU air passengers are not permitted to carry a single volume exceeds 100 liquid. To me this is skin cream! that goes through the hand one, Sorry, it is cream. It is the regulation. NND。 From Frankfurt comes out they did not let me throw this, just let me drink your water and the bottle. Fortunately didn't buy other cosmetics, otherwise, it is white. By the way, I think these new provisions, in addition to counter terrorism, fear is also significantly cheaper food shops in the airport! waiting time to drink water, you can only buy them expensive die bottled water!

Housing leakage rate it pours.

Originally I just worry about Madrid hotels may also has no subscription is successful, the aircraft is also delayed. Reach is the No. 1 a.m. on 22: 20. Ten minutes later, the subway is not only in the airport.

D8 (22 September), Madrid

Madrid metro transit is well-developed, 10 to route around the entire city of every corner of the string.

But when I carry bag into the airport metro station, is already a 1: 30 pm, only the last Metro, I rushed to the city centre of somewhere, but to my youth hostel, is impossible.

There is no map, just know that the hostel is located in the street name.

Out of the subway station, I again into a panic. In particular, people said that Spain is even worse than Italy and order. However, what is good and more! I ask the students youngsters do not speak English. But he immediately gave me a little English, carding a companion for saying this, although the accent, agitated, I completely understand. In saying this is not very familiar with the route, ask the station staff. And then told I can take a taxi. He even went to the streets to help me stand up for rent. Too eager. Please thank him, sitting on a taxi. The driver was a woman, a sentence in EnglishDoes. And I, on the Spanish also only know "Please, you, thank you, sorry." The two of us good a pointing, finally find out I'm going to place a one-way street and walking Street, she can only send me to a phase Pro Street. Opened 10 minutes is up, fares 6 euros. I looked up the next day, walk around the map 40 minutes. The price is quite reasonable! Madrid is very strict on taxi management. All visitors are able to get the relevant information, the airport railway station, initial costs and different locations between approximately how many standard the fare.

Find youth hostel has a half 2 points.

However there is a 24-hour reception. The old man looked up the computer, not my booking information. But I'm lucky to have a double room is also available a shop, you can stay two nights. Price 22 euro, two-day 44-EU, extra 15 euro deposit, make sure you check out before 10 am, and return the sheets and pillowcases.

The dark room the bed, simple cleaning out on the bed.

Wake up, have a morning 9 points. Here's also free breakfast toast, butter, jam, coffee, and tea, cereal, milk, also considered good. In particular it yourself, you will be toast toasted yellow, crunchy, sweet!

Ask the front desk to the pieces of Madrid map and started my journey to Spain.

The HOSTEL's name is International Hostel Posada de Huertas Huert, no. 21.

The location is very good, to Madrid's main attractions. If you are like me to go to Madrid for the poor, I recommend this hostel. You can also free Internet access (half an hour, if nobody behind queued there is no restriction)

First stop, the PRADO Museum.

If I am in the consumption of Hafez Gallery 2 and a half hours simply to be worthy of the Queuing 3 and a half hours, the PRADO of 5 hours is really for enjoyed, although this may not be as famous Ukrainian Hafez, value is not so rare. Europe's most famous paintings to religious stories and historical legends as a theme, so a lot of duplicate topics. For example, the birth of Jesus, the Virgin and the son, the three kings to the story of the DPRK, Salome, Judith killing-Tiffany's story, and so on. See more, but tired. While here, you can see some 18-19 century painters of completely different kinds of works, such as Goya painted village Urchin's series, such as Rubens of different styles including pencil, etc. Pour me a fresh feeling. Unfortunately, many paintings no English description, I just watched Spanish even Mongolia with guess can generally know the author's background and origins of art. Here are some of the sculptures, but mostly to imitated, the original not here or there is no public display.

Out of PRODO has to 3 pm.

Just out is a Asian MM eyes, she thought I was her compatriots – Korea? Know I am a Chinese, there is no interest in further conversation. By the way, like many young people came out to self-tour Korea, met at the youth hostel. And we organize a trip as compatriots basically, there are the rich family come out to play, that basically for me such a man is blind.

The second station, Mayor square and the square about million to sq.m, cordierite wall.

Be a ring around the hotel, which has 3 pm also basically full. "Food is, where is right. Square stands a statue of the King of Spain. This is a problem, why is it called Mayor square instead of King Plaza? I don't know who has the answer may wish to contribute.

Leave the Mayor square, soon to Spain's Royal Palace.

The present Royal family have lived in the old palace was opened to the public. 8 euro tickets, you can through the security check. The Royal Palace, it goes without saying that nature is magnificent. Now who's going to such a decoration, it means that the banknotes when caozhi. One room decoration style: Chinese, I look at the eyes. A Korea's tour came in. The Guide seems to mention China, said something to the whole people laugh. I think they are a bit ill, suffering from don't understand Korean, depressed! Palace exhibition in most interests me is the Knight's armor exhibitions Spain, exclusive corner of the Royal Palace. From helmet, breastplate, worn, armsock, Lance, dagger, to horse use of protective equipment. There are instructions, because the National Palace Museum in China and engage in interactive activities, some of the exhibits were shipped to Beijing, so visitors don't see, apologize. Look at those heavy armor, Knight fighting cannot help a little worried. So heavy stuff go in the body, it can also be like our ancient war, two members of the world 300 round? no wonder movies found Knight fight between are: first away from, and then two relative zongma, nears time quite grab each other straight spines, stabbed someone may award winning lap, if you do not have the right, you can only after difficult rushed over to La to Tau, again the charge until a person has fallen. Without you I stand in the showcase. From the Royal Palace of Madrid can look out onto the platform of the city of the West, there is a large park, the new urban area outside the Park. It seems that Madrid is constantly expanding.

Although tired and hungry, but I still stick to the fourth station-Spain square.

Way to a small square called Oriental Plaza, several Chinese, look here for tourists massage, eliminating fatigue of the journey. It seems that people outside of businesses and more. In fact, Madrid is also a lot of Chinese people, I live in the hostel is in the city centre, next to two Chinese opening of the supermarket, an area of 100 square meters, is also good business.

Spain square actually is not square, the Plaza Mayor, at least not so much space.

But here is the Centre of Madrid, just next door in the Legislative Yuan. Square in the middle is a group of large sculptures, Memorial Spain wordsmiths: Cervantes, Don Gil Caldwell and sang Koo's statue. I admire the grandeur of Spain, in such a square, not like other places like that!A King or a statue of the great statesman, and writer is exclusive.

Go too tired, square edge of a bench to sit and rest.

An old man is next to the local people, actually speak English, with a time magazine. It is quite boring and addressed specifically looking for tourists. So he and his talk for a few minutes. The old man gave me valuable information, but also provides the wrong information that directly affects my second-day itineraries. He told me that the day has come in several areas is basically the best of Madrid, tomorrow is Sunday, the Queen Sofia art museums is free. There you can see the Dali, Picasso, Miro and other works of modern artists. Note down immediately. And then I asked him to go to Barcelona by train. He said basically to the North of the train from Chamartin (Charmatin). I also wrote down. He also recommended a chain restaurant, head plate and main course and drink meal prices less than 8 euros. I also wrote down, decided to dinner at this chain of restaurants.

Farewell to Spain square, I walked along a busy street to Mayor square, because old man said there's restaurant chain.

It really was the weekend, the streets were the more, than the Huaihai Road in Shanghai. A shop door N number of women in the queue, the original store in a scheduled big sale, looks good shoes and bag are only 8 euros. No wonder that even the few men are increasingly of bikers.

Mayor square of the chain's restaurants without expensive packages, because here are basically for tourist business, natural knife to grind faster.

I can only import, locate nearby a larger supermarket, buy things themselves supper, hostels of kitchen facilities, feel free to use.

After dinner the Internet Barcelona train, by the way check out several youth hostels of address, written in the book.

Tomorrow morning, go to Sofia art gallery, and then go straight to the Queen of Chamartin railway station, take the 1 pm train to Barcelona. Plan is not perfect.

Back to the room, my roommate had already left.

12 o'clock to sleep, to move a girl in Switzerland. Live youth hostel is in this way, at any time you may come across all kinds of people, but also can get a lot of information, especially the breakfast end ears.
