Day 18 Exploring about

Today was a big walking day.

Peter hadn’t walked the wall, so we started there. We didn’t take the same route I’d taken yesterday - interesting how many different paths there are up there.

Although it wasn’t as sunny as yesterday, there were still lovely views, and very few people. A couple of hours later, we paused for lunch at Bolj - super choice - healthy keto choices as shown in the pic.

From there we wandered through the Jewish section - to be honest I couldn’t figure out how it was different - then went to the Arab Baths - so interesting.

We’d seen the Roman Baths in Bath England, so were curious to see how they compared. The Roman baths, built between 60 and 70 AD, are much larger and more elaborate. These were built in 1194, carved into the rocks and much smaller - only 5 rooms, each with a specific function - vestibule, cold room, warm room, bathing room, sauna. Interesting that they were able to create all that way back then - for men only, mind you. 😣

For Game of Thrones followers - we are not - season 6 was filmed in Girona, including these Baths.

From there we scouted out a whole new section of the wall to walk - totally separate from the main wall, with almost no one there. Lots of climbing up & down narrow paths & staircases. Pics tell it all.

12,126 steps later we arrived back “home” happy to relax, sip our beers, search out adventures for tomorrow, and have dinner.Read more
