26.5

Finally on our way! Early start to catch the 6.15 bus to Málaga. Everything going swimmingly until the driver, who'd crashed the bus on a roundabout, stopped half way and declared it broken down! We caught another bus which stopped everywhere and we reached our Madrid train with 5 minutes to spare!

Anyway, excellent comfortable ride to Madrid and found our hotel without difficulty

Spent the afternoon exploring El Retiro park with the Palaces and the Botanical Gardens. John and Susie checking out a 70 year old Bonsai.

Tomorrow, train to Leon and we start the Camino on Wednesday
