Toni Kroos concedes he has been left exhausted by Real Madrid's pre-season tour schedule.
The club completed the Australian leg of their preparations with a 4-1 victory over Manchester City on Friday, having also faced Roma - who defeated them on penalties.
"It's normal for this club, but it's a long trip that's also become exhausting," Kroos told reporters.
"We trained a lot and were often in the hotel or the trainings grounds or in the stadium so we didn't see too much of Australia.
"Maybe I will come here another time on my own. I prefer it if it's warm. If I come next time, it will be in summer."
Madrid now head to China to play two games in the International Champions Cup, where they will face Inter and AC Milan, before playing another two matches in the Audi Cup in Munich.
The tour finishes with a trip to Oslo, with Valerenga providing the opposition, and Kroos is confident they will be in good shape ahead of the new season.
When asked about the victory over City, the German midfielder added: "We are in pre-season and had two solid matches, today we improved in attack compared to the first match.
"We scored four goals against a very good team. I think we are on a very good course."
