Royal Palace, Madrid

The clear blue skies after days of drizzle almost screamed for a retun to colour. I took this on an early morning walk around the block, visiting Plaza Oriente where in 1992 we had our Citroen 2CV6 broken into and nearly all our earthly possessions robbed including ruck-sacks, hiking boots and tent. And all while we took a coffee in the posh Cafe Oriente nearby. The whole area is now pedestrianised, but we still have never been back for a refill!
