MADRID

Tues 12th Dec

The following morning after a breakfast of English bacon and Heinz
beans which Roy and Lillian donated to us, we set off for Madrid, with
the help of Sat. Nav. and Guia Camsa Book, which is brilliant, it shows
all the junctions and petrol stations on route and with Rafael on his
mobile phone we headed down the A1. We had arranged to meet up
at a Repsol Auto Grill about 15 km before Madrid, after our meeting
and a coffee he guided us around the M40/M30 ringroads around the
centre of Madrid to a camp site he had found for us (one of the few
that were open )After checking in he then took us to his home which
is on the other side of Madrid in Las Rosas where his wife Jill had
prepared a late lunch , we also met two of his three sons, the youngest
one Victor who is 22 yrs old ,joined us for a very relaxed and enjoyable
meal. What a wonderful welcome we had, later in the evening Rafael
drove us back to the Winnebago and arranged to pick us up the
following morning to show us the sights in the city.
