Winter holidays part 2: Madrid

On the 29th of December together with Coco, Amit and Mairi we departured for the city that was meant to be our host for welcoming the New Year!!!

Madrid has been a wonderful host for us providing amazing weather, great food, accommodation and of course lots of things to visit:)..During the 5 days we stayed we had the chance to visit:
- The Art Museum
- The Royal Palace
- The Cathedral
- La Puerta del Sol
- The stadium Santiago Barnabeau ( as Coco is a fan of Real Madrid:))
- Many other beautiful areas of Madrid

It was great! Being the first New Year Party spent outside Romania, I didn't know what to expect, but I can say that my expectation were exceeded...Every place we visited had something special that help me discover more about the Spanish culture and about the world in general...

The hostel were we stayed was also amazing, one of the best I've ever been in..awarded in 2004 as the best hostel, I can second that prize for 2006 also..If you plan to go to Madrid I really recommend to try Cat's hostel , very close to Puerta de Sol and the center of Madrid...

What else is to be said...New year resolutions? Of course:)..

  • Visiting at least 5 new countries ( Rome and Paris are already booked, Dublin, London and Munich are on the waiting list:))
  • Improve my Spanish and learn French (after talking for 5 days in Spanish, I realized that I am not working on my strong points, so I decided that I should dedicate this year to learning foreign languages)
  • Keep in touch more often with my friends
  • Learn more about PR, communication ( what I am currently working on)
  • Be an active learner
These are only a few of my resolutions for 2007...I hope to check them all at the end of the year:)

A! If you want to read more about Madrid, you can also vist Amit's blog:)..he described our experience even nicer than me:)

    Hi Nico..!!!

    Hope you're doing better than ever! ;)

    Seems like a great time you had there in Madrid..I've always wanted to go to Spain but still couldn't make my way there yet.. :s

    I think this year should not be "i wanna go" anymore..it's gonna be "i'm going there!"

    happy new year dear..!!
