Subject: Post: First four hours were surprisingly painless. Maybe my emergency row seat helped to survive.. The only problem was that the plane was full of small babies, which caused rather unpleasant effects like constant noise and smell.. Well, not that bad. We decided not to leave the airport and just stay in the transit area while waiting for the second flight. That probably wasn't the best decision.. Madrid Barajas airport seems to be a quite beatiful "architectural wonder", but all the practical things are missing. Seems like all the comfortability has been sacrified in the name of design.. The airport is huge, but there are no decent bars or restaurants and electricity outlets seem to be totally unknown to Spanish.. We found one electricity socket nearby a small cafe, which provides us a chance to recharge our laptops a bit before the long flight. By the way, +15C outside air temperature felt really strange and good. I haven't been able to be outside wearing only a t-shirt for almost half an year, and damn it felt good.. :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
