YAY - finally saw the horses of the Spanish Riding School in action. They were amazing. Changing leads on every stride, don't know how they train them to do that, let alone the jumps although I could sort of tell how they trained them to do that (I think...).
Today has been very warm and after the SRS performance we hid out in the museum which was equally amazing. The Egyptian section alone was well worth the entry price and then the Roman section was very good too. After lunch we tackled the paintings, not a huge amount of variety but still very enjoyable.
Next we crossed the square to the natural history museum, which was in a twin building but that's where the similarities ended. OMG it was pretty awful, more like a junk shop masquerading as a museum. Although it probably didn't help that we did it back to front, although all the good stuff was at the start/finish with the prehistoric animals, of which they had quite a good selection.
Have now tottled back to the hostel for the evening, a chill out session. Hopefully our journey home won't be too bad with the UK under maximum security.
