Trains metro and buses

Getting around Bangkok is taxis and walking, getting around Olvera is just walking but getting around Madrid is another story. Mum and I discovered lots of ways to get around Madrid.

After four days of practice we thought we were doing amazingly well and getting around just as well as the locals.The most convenient was probably the bus which left every 5 minutes from the station just across the road. We only used the buses to get into the centre to catch our tourist bus. Another really helpful 24hour service was the metro which we only used twice but the station was across the road again which came in handy when we had to use it at 8o'clock in the morning which by the way it is still dark. The train station was a 5 minute walk down the road but we only used it once and didn't really like it. The taxi depot was next door but we only caught them once because we were absolutely astounded at the price difference between the taxi and all the other types of transport. The last method we used was walking, unfortunately it doesn't have a station or depot we just used it to walk to the stations or depots.
