Two relaxing days of discovery were followed by a massive surprise at our one must do attraction in Madrid - the Prado.

Mum was checking out the Goya, and guess who was checking out Mum? Tess Phillips, cousin to the FitzGeralds, who lives in Canberra.

Tess is doing a 6 month Europe trip and while we knew she was away we thought she was in London - it was a total surprise!


Once the shock subsided we had a great lunch and decided that Tess and her friend Meryn had to move in to the apartment with us.
