Tulips, Trees and Tortoises
27 April 2010
On our last day in Madrid, we took it easy after a previous late night out with several Spanish friends, and decided to have a picnic lunch at my new favourite hangout, the Parque del Retiro (Retiro Park) followed by a visit to two museums: the Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza (highly recommended!!).

Oh, and did I mention tulips? Well we passed by some throughout the day, and they’re still my favourite!!

YES, there is a Crystal Palace within the centre of the Park! It is gorgeous, and you can go in for free to walk around. Situated right next to a large pond full of swans, ducks, tortoises and of course, those ruddy pigeons… so you can imagine how beautiful the whole area is! ♥

Turning to the next important question that may be on your lips… ❝what was I wearing?❞ Instead of taking amateur-photo shoot snapshots of me in my outfits (no photographer-aid, and I swear it’s been done already on the blogsophere, no? ;) hehe), so I figured I’d take a fresh approach to it and whip up a geeky mathematical equation like this:

Like it? Let me know if so (I didn’t rhyme that on purpose guys….)
Enjoy! xx
