Armoury at the Royal Palace in Madrid

It’s really hot in Madrid at the moment the temperature is 37 degrees today. To avoid the heat we went to the armoury at 10:30 (we weren’t allowed to take our own photos so we got this one off the internet)

Did you know in Spain kids who were 6 had armour to start training (sounds tough for them!)

I liked the weapons that they had. These are some of the weapons that I thought were most deadly:

  • Mace
  • Rapier
  • Longsword
  • Flamberge blade
  • Lance

To protect the horse while going into battle they also used flexible horse armour.

Now we are off to our rooftop pool!

Guggenheim museum

Yesterday I went to the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain.

The Guggenheim museum is made of stone, glass and titanium. The architect is Frank Geary who never took his pen off the paper when designing the building.

Outside the museum there was a dog made out of flowers, these metal balloons and a metal spider.

When you walk inside you see amazing metal sculptures that twist and turn. The sculptures were made by artist Richard Serra. When you walk through the metal passages it makes you dizzy.
