Bella at the Parque del Buen Retiro
Today, we covered a lot of ground in Madrid because of the segway tour that we booked. Not the first time that we did this. In fact, it was one great discovery that we had when Arshad and I went on tour in Italy last year.
We covered several areas in Madrid in a span of three hours, which was physically impossible if done on foot. Walking tours are good, but segway tours are amazing!
For this trip, we booked through Segway Fun (http://www.segwayfun.es/en/). It was a private tour customized for me and Arshad so there was no waiting for other people and we chose the areas where we wanted to go to.
This photo was taken at the Parque del Buen Retiro, my favorite park in the whole of Madrid. I don’t mind coming back here early in the day to just read under a park bench!
Th9eer;s also a program called DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) run at some schools, like Scotch College in Melbourne. The idea is that everyday, at the beginning of period 3 everyone in the entire school (students, teachers, admin staff etc) have to drop whatever they're doing and read for 15 minutes. Apparently the borrowing rate for both the schools we've read about has increased hugely!
