21/05/09 ~03~1272km~ Segovia + Madrid + Toledo

Back on the road for our third day, towards Segovia. Same landskape as yesterday, we got use to it. Oooops, a policeman on the road asking us to pull over... good, he changed his mind seeing we are two very nice looking travellers enjoying their country (or it might be another reason, even if I doubt it...).
Segovia is an extremely nice little ancient town, on top of a hill. We have really enjoyed wandering around ; top priority watching: the castle (known to be the model for the Disneyland Paris) and the aqueduc. Then go to Madrid.
After 2 hours driving, we arrived at Madrid, capital of Spain, about to be killed by the temperature (43C inside the van!). We park and walk around, following the main sights recommended on our guide. We won't stay very long and move on to Toledo, that we reached after another two hours.
Toledo is a medieval fortified city, full of narrow streets and very baddly sign-posted (to say that we got lost a number of time, which is good at first to visit, but not when you want to go home or go car!). BTW, we found a wonderful way of not getting lost, as we record our van's position in our GPS and follow the voice to go back ; but satellites reception were difficult in the narrow streets...

Calatayud-塞哥維亞 (Segovia)-馬德里 (Madrid)-托雷多 (Toledo) (西)

中午左右，抵達塞哥維亞。一座坐落山頂的古老城鎮，山腳下則是現代的擴建。

一進入舊城鎮裡，我們就喜歡上這裡。可惜我們行程緊湊，所以只挑重點拍照：據說迪士尼樂園中，白雪公主城堡依仿而建的Alcazar城堡、羅馬水道橋、教堂等等。

不到一小時後，我們來到馬德里，剛抵達馬德里市中心時，我還以為來到第二個倫敦：一樣的擁擠人潮/觀光客、類似的地鐵站、一樣恐怖的交通……。由於行程緊湊，我們好像只待三個多小時而已，連博物館都沒時間參觀~~~而這裡卻是西班牙的首都！ 不過，溫度可不同：43度！

半個多小時後，我們來到托雷多，幸運的找到免費停車位，看起來也夠安全，索性就這樣過了一晚。由於行程的延誤，所以我們在晚餐過後，便奮力的邁向山腳下 (沒錯，又是一座在山頂上的城鎮)，不過，讓我們訝異的是，由於山城過高，於是居民建造了五段手扶梯，一路從山腳到山頂，輕輕鬆鬆~~~。
就旅遊書的城內地圖看來，晚上閒逛中應該就可以大致瞭解這個城市，可以方便/省時我們隔天的觀光………想是這樣想，但進到城內，碰到的卻是比塞哥維亞更加複雜的小巷弄、間或有些嚇人的駕駛。搞了老半天，旅遊手冊裡並沒有貼上全部的城市內部，那也就罷了，它還省略很多小巷弄。總之，不到一小時，我們就徹底的迷了路：雖然在車上沒有方向感的我，一旦雙腳在地上，方向感則是連X都讚嘆不已的好，但這次，我則完全被小巷弄搞昏頭。後來只好請出GPS大人幫忙，結果它也老是因為狹隘的巷弄、兩三層樓高的建築的阻隔，不時領著我們到一半就與衛星斷聯繫，棄我們不顧。
總之，我們可是結結實實繞了好大一圈才離開這複雜的迷宮。結果，我們不僅沒有觀光到多少、還徹底完全地折磨了我們的雙腿、雙腳(因為熱所以穿涼鞋…)。

PS 在馬德里，都沒人戴口罩耶！
