A friend of mine has been posted to work in Europe. As part of his job, he has to fly frequently from Barcelona to Madrid. He said that when he first went from Barcelona to Madrid, he took the train because he wanted to travel like a tourist and enjoy the train ride but after a couple of times, he was so tired from the traveling that he said he just wants to hop on a plane and be done with the journey.
Can you imagine that a flight is only approximately 75 minutes while a train ride could be anything from 5.5 hours to 9 hours? I was surprised to know that it is such a vast difference!
He said that every time before he leaves for Barcelona from his headquarters, he would have booked a room in one of the hotels in Barcelona. However, when he reaches Madrid, he may or may not have a room in one of the hotels in Madrid. It actually depends on his schedule. Sometimes he gets to leave the city on the same day itself.
However, if he does need a room, he would search on Google, Hoteles en Madrid, and he would usually be able to find a good deal in one of the local hotels.
It's so good to be able to travel and get paid! I wish I have such an exciting job as well but that is just wishful thinking!
