ПутешественникIt's difficult to get nice photo shots with the air being so murky. Not many people taking photos yesterday.
ПутешественникGreat photo's Mum! I've been following your itinerary to try and work out where you are and what you might be doing today. Hope you've both slept well and looking forward to a day of sightseeing along the coast tomorrow - wonder if that will offer clearer skies and maybe slightly less humidity?

ПутешественникWhat amazing day you had, I also won't comment on the bull fighting . Nice to see you got some tomatoes to go with the meat 😂
ПутешественникAnd just as well we're carrrying some cutlery and a small sharp knife with our UK t mind
ПутешественникSuch different scenary to where you've been the past few days - gone are the lush green tree's - replaced by rocks, ruins and olive trees. Beautiful buildings again, although very different also. Love the spot for your lunch at the olive tasting - what an experience that must have been x
ПутешественникI forgot to mention the reason I added another group photo is because of the 'white' village on the hillside behind us. You'll notice the fortress on the highest point above the town. Sorry just realised I seem to have missed that photo. Also notice the gorgeous gold detail on the coffee shop wrought iron balustrade.
ПутешественникOh my, that seating arrangement is amazing, and the items for you are pretty special. Love it. Enjoy everymoment. Sharon
ПутешественникOh what a treat! Love the Bulgari products too, such luxury. Hope you enjoyed the flight, and were both able to properly sleep xx
