One day I will travel with class...


...for now, it's more vagabond style, and I like it. This gives you a sense of adventure, all those people you meet, places you visit, problems you have to solve. I flied with Ryanair. Warsaw-Brussels and after eight hours of waiting at the Charleroi airport, Brussels-Madrid.



Brussels.There's a lady next to me, waiting for the Lost and Found office, she's Polish,speaking on the phone. The story is: she's traveling with a little guy in a trolley and a man. They checked in their luggage and went for a dinner. They were passing their time so nicely that they forgot to get on the plane, which took off without them. They're flying on Saturday. It turns out if you're not on the plane,your bags are not there either. That's a good thing. A pity that it does not work both ways .It would be quite adventurous if every time they lose your luggage you have to actually travel to collect it, but the airlines should cover all your expenses. So many people would get to see places they will otherwise never visit.



When I got out from the plane in Brussels, and picked up my suitcase, I had to pass  the security check (the one where you choose if you have something do declare or not).They had dogs. Those 'I'll-find-all-your-drugs-and-put-you-in-jail-for-a-lifetime' dogs. Even tough I knew I did not have any illegal substances on me( except for the deadly dose of charm and smartness) I suddenly became anxious. What if those dogs don't like me for some reason and decide to ruin my life, or worse- my adventure? Of course they didn't even notice me. In Madrid tough, a guy in the same security check asked me to stop, of course he didn't speak English, and I didn't speak Spanish, so I had no idea what was going on. He just removed a sticker form my suitcase and let me go. I still don't know what it was all about.

My first night I spent in Madrid, at my friend's place. I met Cybil once back in Poland.She and her family were very hospitable. Not only did I get my own bed, but also had marvelous breakfast with them and even was given food to have my lunch on the bus to Toledo. Inspired by one of my favorites movies, 'Unmade Beds',  I decided to take a picture of every bed I will be sleeping in during my travel. Here it goes. Bed Number One.
