Rowing-boats and waiters




The next day (Saturday) we decided to return to 'Parque de Retiro' to have a look at it in daylight as well. We rented a rowing-boat and more or less successfully managed to move around the pond. We had a blast, singing in Swedish and laughing in the sun. Here are some pictures from that occasion.

To be honest, Anna stood for most of the rowing..


Then we went to the monument, that I have forgotten the name of, you can see in the background of the picture to the left.

We went around the pond and found a man playing the not so famous instrument Hang. He was really talented and if you don't know how the Hang sounds, I suggest you check it out. I think it is very beautiful.

Anna even got to try it, and it is not as easy as it seems!
After this unexpected musical experience we went to a cafe to get something to eat. There we met a very friendly and nice waiter who apparently thought my attempts to get eye-contact (to get him to come over so we could order ourselves a 'Sangria') called for a wink and a smile. After our drink (and a plaster and disinfection liquid for Annas hurt knee) he came over and asked if he could get a picture of us with him. He also told me and Anna how beautiful we are, in Spanish and English. We took a picture with our camera as well, and when we left he was throwing kisses after me, which I laughingly returned. Very satisfied, he inclined with sign language that he would call me. Good luck sweetheart. Haha, here is the picture:
Cheers everyone!
