DAY 44 16 JULY Madrid



Our adventures on the Madrid buses continued this morning and we did manage to get off at approximately the correct stop. This was a monument to the Spanish colonisation of the New World - Plaza de Colon - or at least we think it was.

Next we went to a small Model Ship Museum which was free and small, unlike most museums in Madrid.



Now it was on to possibly the second best museum - the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum (one of the best three museums in Madrid) and their collection was quite extraordinary in quality. They had many of the big names, Holbein, Durer, Caravaggio, Canaletto, Rubens, Renoir, Monet, Rodin, Degas, van Gogh, Dali,




 Canaletto
Toulouse-Lautrec

Oh yeah and here is one of Vincent van Gogh's pieces they had just lying around gathering dust.


On the way back to the hotel we visited a wargaming shop but I wasn’t able to buy anything in my scale.
