Segovia and Real Sitio de San Ildefonso

The day was packed of ambitions and extreme heat - not a good combination. David and Elijas went to rent the car and the initial idea was to get 2nd hand car seats. But it was a holiday, Corpus Christi, in Madrid. So we had to buy new seats from a shopping mall, luckily rather cheap. After that we could all start the road trip under 39°C of heat. We headed towards Segovia to see the impressive Roman aqueduct. However, there was very little excitement because the heat was so intense.
