MADRID

Yesturday we took a drive north to the 14th century St Lawrence monastery. My favourite room in the whole place was the library where they have thousand of ancient books. I have given you Roger's video because a couple of photos won't do it justice. Also photos of the stunning Frescos. From there we went to Segovia for lunch and to visit a gorgeous castle. This castle was used in the Disney movie sleeping beauty. Segovia is a very quaint town very busy with tourists. The restaurant we went to specializes in pork meals which apparently is a popular national meal. So we had thin slices of meat with gravy and a handful of thin cut fries. Rather interesting. No greens. The town also has an aqueduct built by the Romans. It's a fabulous piece of historical construction and makes wonderful photos. It was a long day with lots of walking so by the time we got home I was wacked again and had a nap while Roger went for a walk to buy some fruit. Just realsied the photoes Roger took of the frescos hasn't come through and he's now asleep so I'll add in the morning. It's 11.35pm and I can hardly keep my eyes open.Read more
