Day 7: Madrid

It was a S$500 lost when my camera was stolen. To think that I quoted the value of the camera at around 70 euros when I reported to the police. I had indeed grossly under-estimated the price of the camera.

Anyhow, I decided to shop for a cheaper camera in Madrid since I thought that it would be more expensive in Paris during the New Year's period. Digital cameras were aplenty but not the normal ones. I was lucky enough when I got a cheap deal at 59 euros.

We arrived in Madrid's airport in the afternoon, where a horde of people, probably union workers, were demonstrating against something. Indeed, this gives tourists a really bad impression if the authorities freely allow such practice to carry on.

A nice rendezvous with Paris will be perfect. It was supposed to be the climax of the trip since Paris is an attractive and most popular destination after London.
