Castles, Tea, and Madrid Marvels

Hi friends! Doggie here, continuing the tale of our amazing European adventure! 🐾 After soaking up the charm of Brighton and Angmering, Pandy and I discovered a couple of new gems along the way. From exploring an incredible castle to having a traditional tea, our days have been full of magic and surprises.

First up, Arundel Castle! 🏰 Let me tell you, this place was like stepping into a storybook. Pandy kept marveling at the architecture (he’s a fan of the fancy stuff), while I ran ahead to imagine myself as the castle’s royal pup-in-residence. The halls were filled with history, and we even spotted some knights’ armor! Pandy insisted we take a picture in the grand courtyard, and I must say, we looked very regal.

After all that exploring, we treated ourselves to a traditional tea at Cockburn’s. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but WOW—it was delicious! The scones were perfectly fluffy, the sandwiches were cut into neat little triangles, and the tea? Pandy says it was “sublime.” I just know it made me feel warm and cozy. Pro tip: never skip out on tea if you’re in England—it’s worth every sip!

From there, we packed our bags and headed to Madrid, Spain! 🇪🇸 The city is vibrant, lively, and full of incredible things to see. Pandy and I spent hours wandering through the historic streets, marveling at the stunning buildings and the hustle and bustle of city life. The highlight? Plaza Mayor, where we sat and people-watched while munching on churros dipped in chocolate. Pandy calls it “the ultimate plushie treat,” and I couldn’t agree more.

Madrid also gave us the chance to experience its culture and history. We visited beautiful parks, admired art at the Prado Museum, and soaked in the sunshine on outdoor terraces. Pandy says it’s a city he could visit again and again. Me? I’m just thinking about those churros!

It’s been an unforgettable trip so far, and I’m excited to share even more adventures as we continue our European journey. Thank you for following along, and remember, the world is full of places to explore—one pawstep at a time!

Until next time,

Doggie 🐾
