Arrival

monday August 14

The big day, moving-day. After a nice goodbye at Schiphol Airport I arrived in Madrid around noon with a beautifull welcome. My first new experience: someone is actually waiting for me at the airport exit with a paper with my name on it! So far so good. Collecting the car I rented at the airport is a complete different story. Even though I allready payed for it, the problem seems to be, I don't have the right papers so I've sent an email to the rental company to obtain the right papers. No car for now :(
A good chance to get to know the metro system, cause I had to go to the other end of the city in the evening. (Metros go everywhere, except to my work..... )
I met one of my new colleagues later, he's from Belgium and obviously likes walking, because we went out for diner at 9, and actually ate at 11...
Well.. this is another way of exploring the city when you don't have a car, I just wish I would have wore other shoes......
