Received my приглшение (invitation) in the mail finally (4 weeks late). Unfortunately it has the wrong passport number. Also, rechecked the rush fee to find that, instead of 80€ it is in fact 205€. Uh oh.

Hand in my visa application. Miraculously, application accepted, pick-up date set for the 29th, only paid 97€. Three miracles in one day! Two other applicants arrived to pick up missing visas. Hmmm... Ecstatic but still a little worried.

Saying goodbye to Madrid was a little harder than I thought it would be. Having extra time to think about things never helps. I had a real Spanish sendoff with some Spanish friends of Marianne´s friend Annalise. Lots of cañas and jamón. Made a calzone, took a long, hot shower, went to bed at 2.
