Back in Spain, mostly.

Looks like we´ve made it to Madrid again. It´s pretty warm, but not so bad compared to Africa, the humidity is down.

The flight schedule was pretty terrible getting here. 2:55am flight with a short stop in Lome, arrived in Casablanca somewhere around 10am. Flew out just past 12, got to Madrid around 3pm (flight was late leaving).

Got to the Westin somewhere around 6pm, with a quite nice room. Wandered around for an hour looking for a cheap place to eat, and it seems that the cheapest food by far is Persian/Kebap places. A dinner combo for €6. Individual sandwiches are about €4. I really want to try paella somewhere tonight, but I´m a little intimidated by the price, and totally can´t understand the menus. Spanish 1 vocab pretty much taught me that pescado is fish, and thats about it.

The only other frustrating thing is that our bags decided to lose themselves somewhere before getting to Madrid. I really thought that was going to happen, and at least we don´t need to worry about left luggage yet. It seems that Iberia has experience with this, it´s claimed to be the European airline post likely to lose someone´s bags. This combined with a bizarre technical stop in Lome, Togo at 4am where half the people got off the plane, makes me think that we might never see our bags again.

Uh oh.

Anyone want to try to figure out how much money I can claim per bag? http://www.iberia.com/equipajes/

My spanish isn´t too good, and I checked three total bags.

Happy hunting!
