Last Friday I came back from a trip to Madrid with the Uni.
I'll start this post by telling you lot how my condition (MD Becker) affects me. I find stairs and walking long distances really really hard.
The trip didnt start off that well as I was traveling by easyjet. What I laugh that was lol, to start off there was a big rush to the plane, than when I got to the plane there was stairs to get on the plane. I thought ok I'll get take my time, but the people behind me kept saying things towards me in Spanish and try pushing past me.
I got seated for two hours I thought nothing about it, but then I revise that I cant get out of my seat, I asked the flight people if they could help they I just got a sorry and a shrug and they just walked past. Luckily my tutor and mate help me out by pushing me out of the seat.
So I just thought that was the only thing I'm going to have problems with.
But no when I walk into the airport the only way into it was down some stairs and even more stairs at the bottom of that set.
I got to the bus, but I couldn't get on to it with out siting on the stairs and pall my self up them, which wasn't pretty and I felt like a right tit.
God then I got to the hotel and even more steps and stairs to even just get into the hotel...
The next we all head off to the museum we are looking that day. The museum was really good for disabled people with ramps and letf every where which was really good.
But on the way back to the hotel I started noticing older people hissing and spiting at me and saying stuff in Spanish. I was waiting for a mate of mine while he went off looking for his girl friend, I was standing there for about 20 minutes and I notice something flying passed my head, I looked to see what it was and laying on the floor was some dog shit.
The 3rd day was ok but still more abuse off the locals. Another thing I notice in Madrid was alot of disabled people begging for money on the side of the roads which made me really pissed off.
The last day was really good as I was going home to the UK.
