What an eventful and fantastic day full of spectacular views and great people and some public transport issues…..or jet lag decision paralysis.
When we did get to the tour spot, after “speedy Gonzales” taxi driver, we had a lovely day .
We met some great English people and they recommended a dinner spot and we later caught up with them and their family.

Oh my- what an experience! Words cannot describe this place.
After conquering the metro and PTSD behind us, we were in awe of Gaudi’s incredible designs inspired by Jesus and the bible. Pictures will only give you a glimpse of what we saw today, overwhelmed at times.

Amazing drive over the mountains through the olive oil region despite getting none at lunch in the quaint little renaissance town of Ubeda, with very narrow streets and the CHR ideally could have been switched out for a Fiat. But after great team work and a 37thousand turn , a sigh of relief was heard by all.Read more

24/11/24. Special day, special things. Sharon Sopher bucket list #2 “The blue city” #chefchaouen and it did not disappoint! We did have an escape plan ready to enact, when our private driver was stopped and taken away by police, non the less it was not needed. Lunch was a traditional lamb tagine, nearly didn’t have it …….. the amount of cats and the dirtiness of the city, but we braved it! Can I just say that Morocco is very different to Spain. We came back to our digs and had a beautiful dinner and spontaneous flamenco show. Great day!Read more

Day trip driving through patchwork fields to regional cute Cordoba. Nabbing the only free park in town.

Drove to Portugal and landed in Lagos. Would be a great place in summer!!! But the best place now, no crowds and great time to sit outside and have a wine. Met Eric from Denmark and Dave from England who live on their boats here, whilst we enjoyed a happy hour wine or 2. Had the best dinner at The green room- fresh Fajitas

Ready steady Segway ! Amazing 3 hours spent touring the Alfama region with Peter our guide. After some simple instructions, we were off. Winding and bumping our way through the narrow streets, negotiating corners and cars and up and down hills! Loved it. 1 cod fish croquette, 1 espresso, 1 Portuguese tart, 1 pulled pork roll, 1 sparkling green wine and one sour cherry port later, we ended a fantastic tour.Read more
