It is an emotional day in our little hotel room by the Madrid airport. We leave for Dubai tomorrow at 2pm (if there are no delays of course) and will arrive in Dubai just after midnight. It marks the end of our Europe trip but the beginning of the rest and we are filled with mixed feelings.
Europe has treated us well. We have discovered the true beauty and charm as well as the unique characteristics of each country. Great family and friends has also been a (MASSIVE) plus. However, we are looking forward with excitement and apprehension for Dubai, United Emirates and Cape Town, South Africa. Both places are incredibly foreign to us, and we of course will be known foreigners: "The tourists". It will be an exciting adventurous 3 weeks before we make our arrival in Australia.
The last few days in Spain have been nice and fairly low key. Malaga was wonderful but we had quite the time trying to find our hostel. Seville was beautiful but we did not spend too much time exploring since we were so exhausted from snorers and uncoordinated sleeping times. We have officially decided snorers should be banded from sleeping in a dorm. Sam spent one night in Malaga sleeping on the cold hard tiles of their little balcony with a pillow and small blanket because there was an old man sleeping in their dorm snored as loud as a chainsaw. He also had many other disgusting bodily functions going on. 3 hours of sleep was not enough to fully function on. BUT that aside we had a wonderful relaxing time and enjoyed our last few days in the warmth and beauty of Spain. We decided against going to Cadiz so we would have more time to enjoy Seville.
Today we did not end up exploring any of Madrid as originally hoped. In Malaga we discovered Mike had accidently forgotten the powercord for the computer back in Barcelona. It had been an early morning start and we had been tired. After messaging the hostel we discovered they did have it and we could pick it up. So today we trained the x number of hours to Barcelona and then went to Madrid. It was a long 13 hour day. We now have the cord and that is all that matters.
It is know one am and we are all but finished packing our stuff for tomorrow. It is time to sign off and say goodnight!
