Coffee at the aqueduct this morning ! We got an 8:43 high speed train from Madrid, I think we spent longer on the metro getting to the rail terminal than on the actual train. I thought we would have heaps of time at Charmartin station, except it was a complete rabbit warren of construction and it took us ages to find the platform. I also thought we would see lots of Spanish countryside on the way, but between kilometres of tunnels through the mountains and fog, saw basically nothing. What we did see reminded me of the granite stone peppered fields around Goulburn at home in New South Wales. The aqueduct is just stunning up close. I would really like to see the museum where they explain everything about the aqueduct, but I’ve picked a day when it’s closed.
Just having coffee and breakfast close by, stunned at how much cheaper than Madrid it is, breakfast for the three of us for less than €8. Coffee was quite good too
