Путешественник Yes, Bart would love that park, it was a huge park and had several different play areas and so many children! And nine in the evening is not at all late for Spanish children, they’re often up after 10 PM enjoying the nightlife with their parents. It’s a whole different lifestyle here.
Путешественник welcome to Europe. Have a good time
Путешественник Thank you, Marlies! We are here to work on finishing another Camino, I wish we had time to stop in Germany!
Except for the airline food, looks like you're off to a great start! Happy Camino!! [Susan Starr]
Путешественник Thank you Susan, yes, you’re right, it’s been very nice so far!
