Granada, Spain

The local Granada people take their rest days very seriously. We emerged out of the room at 11 am to find no one around. Roberta rang Paul for his 21st birthday before we went in search of brunch.

We then went for a walk around, though nothing was open. We walked past the cathedral and then up the hill to try and find the Walls of the Albaycin, but couldn’t find a way in.

We just ended up wandering the back streets, taking in the city itself. In the end we went looking through the souvenir stores in our street, before going indoors to escape the heat.

We did come out for afternoon tea, sitting outside at a café, writing letters and completing diaries.

We went back to our room for an afternoon of cards and emerged at nine pm, slightly cooler and ready for dinner. We walked up to the area where we had a couple of drinks last night, and had a pasta dinner – lasagna and spaghetti.

After dinner we had drinks and coffee at a café in Plaza Nueva. We got home at midnight, for want of an early night, only to have the heat, noise and then cards keep us awake until 3 am.
