After 1 year and nine months traveling, already much more than we had originally planned (which was only 1 year and 2 months), our trip again takes a new turn. After Mexico we should return to Brazil, but after seeing a flight promotion from Cancun to Madrid our plan to go to Europe came true. Yeahhh …

Well, the money we had saved for the trip finished in Mexico, but we decided to use a portion of the budget for when we got back to Brazil for this part, after all we don’t know how long we will spend without traveling. But our trip in Europe will be different. We will not sightsee there, we will just visit important friends and family.

In our plan: Madrid (where Carol’s cousin leaves), London (where great friends live), Tronso – Norway (where Carol’s sister leaves), France (where Alexis’ family leaves) and Italy (where great friends leave). And then we will return to Brazil, even though many people don’t believe in that anymore. Heheheh …

First stop … Madrid! This is our second stop here during our world trip. We’ve been here in September 2012, before our wedding in Brazil. We arrived with a fantastic weather, blue sky and it was very warm. We stayed at Carol’s cousin apartment, Gustavo, and before he left on vacation to Croatia we went for a tapas bar to catch up.

During three days we rested to adapt to the jet lag of 7 hours compared to Mexico (4 am for us is party time, ahahaha), we made ​​pleasant walks around the city and ate lots of tapas! The food in Spain is simply a delight.

We also took the opportunity to meet Soni, a spanish girl we had met while traveling in India. It’s always nice to see again our fellow travelers. Sangria, beer and of course the night ended in tapas.

But our time here was very short and now we are getting ready for our next destination, London!
