It’s not the first time that I’d ever visited the Iberia Peninsula but I was taking myself, from the city I lived in, to the westernmost point that I’d ever been to, experiencing the romance of traveling solo to the ends of the earth.
Hong Kong to London
To the best of my collection, most likely it’s the very first time that I’d ever flied Virgin Atlantic. It’s striking magenta colour palette was not only strongly suggestive of vibrancy, boldness and creativity but also literally transported me to a clubbing scene.
I was by no means a drinker but under such seductive circumstances, I ordered a little bottle of red wine from the amiable flight attendant.
No sooner had I started to sip my wine slowly than I was totally mystified why allegedly the world’s most sought-after liquid in my mouth tasted like rubbing alcohol.
I finished the entire bottle even though I kept mumbling to myself why I would keep poisoning myself with some totally undrinkable liquid.
Although I’d come across some researches suggesting we wouldn’t get drunk easier on a plane, I went intoxicated instantly which I hadn’t experienced for a decade and sadly didn’t enjoy whatsoever.
However, thankfully I managed to make my own ‘economy class flat bed’ because there’s no other passenger in my row.
London Heathrow Airport
My flight landed safely on Heathrow Airport before daybreak despite the world renowned airport still being peopled by passengers from around the world.
Madrid-Barajas Airport
After hours of flying across Eurasia, despite being exhausted, it’s exhilarating when the exceptionally blue sky and the bright, lofty, spacious airport terminal came into sight. The sharp colours used in the airport were really a delight to behold.
Neo Magna Hotel
Reaching the clean, simple and white little room of the hotel I stayed at around 3 in the afternoon. I was fully aware of the stunning grandeur out in the city but I finally succumbed to the temptation of the bed and pillows. Except for the toilet breaks, I was sound asleep until 8 the next morning.
