Our last full day in Spain was spent traveling back to Madrid by bus and exploring just a bit more of the city. Katie wanted to see Caixa Forum where there is a hanging garden on the side of a building so we made a brief stop by there and then headed on to Reina Sofia. On our first fuzzy day in Madrid our tour guide told us that some of the museums in Madrid have free hours every day or certain days of the week. Reina Sofia is free between 7 and 9 at night so we spent two hours browsing heaps of Picasso and Salvador Dali works. We took pictures of some of our favorites as you will see below. Picasso's largest work, Guernica, is on display at Reina Sofia but we weren't allowed to take pictures of it. Dinner on the last night consisted of mainly leftovers - pizza, bread and cream cheese, crackers, yoghurt and clementines.
The next day we woke up at the crack of dawn to see Laura to the subway station so she could catch her earlier flight. Katie and I went back to sleep for a few hours before checking out of the hostel and heading to airport ourselves. Our British Airways flight from Madrid to London was comfortable and uneventful. Unfortunately immigration at Heathrow took around an hour (as I'm assuming it usually does?). We made our way to the correct tube stop for our hostel but then preceded to walk a mile or two in the wrong direction away from our hostel (we do this from time to time, for fun I suppose). The rest of the day was spent recovering at the hostel in Shepherd's Bush.
