7/06 Madrid to Barcelona

06 July 2008 - We dropped Sarah off at the Madrid airport for her return home today. Then checked out of the hotel after breakfast.

We caught the AVE highspeed train at the Atocha station and rode non-stop to Barcelona in about 2 1/2 hours -- topping out at 300 km/hr. Very cool ride.

We rode the metro in Barcelona to our friends apartment where we will be based for the next week of travel.

The AVE highspeed train ...



As you can see - we hit 300 km/hr ... smooth ride all the way.


Here are a couple shots of the scenery as we zipped by ...



... and a couple of shots inside - our car ...


... and the bar.


At the Madrid airport earlier in the day - when Sarah left for home ...



And a little later when we rode the metro to the Atocha train station in Madrid, enroute to Barcelona ...


The apartment building in Barcelona ... the first night.
