We’re on holiday, day 2! A sunny morning (terras, boulangerie) and a rainy afternoon (driving) and now we’re nearing the Spanish border. We’re in a lovely little city called Rocamadour. It’s marvellous! We ended up here because we were looking for a place ‘about five hours from we’re we’re now’ and we liked the name of the place. Then we looked up some pictures and … .
We’re on holiday, day 3. The morning started with rain, but when we finished all the cafė au lait and such, it was dry and even a bit warm in Rocamadour. We had a stroll in the little city center and then walked up, the way of the pilgrims. 32 staircases up, my phone told me. We drove south in the afternoon and now we’re in the Pyrenees, where snow still tops the mountains and everything is in between wintersport and summer tourism.
We’re on holiday, day 4. We’ve been toying with the idea of going for a hike, but ended up making coffee on a lovely picknick spot and sitting in the sun, listening to the river below for a few hours. Then we drove to Zaragoza, Spain’s 4th biggest city, but not very well known. It has a beautiful town center to explore.
We’re on holiday, day 5. We’re in Ávila, where they have 2,5 km wall build in the 11th to 14th centuries. We’re going to stay here for a few days. Fun food fact: Saint Teresa of Ávila is by some believed to be the inventor of French fries.
I’ll take some pictures tomorrow, because the wall is truly magnificent.
We’re on holiday, day 7 according to the previous post, but in reality it’s day 9 already. A lot of water themed stuff today: washing clothes, doing our own dishes after all the hotels in the previous days and a visit to the Arab baths’ museum, very impressive. Tomorrow we’re on the road again and the we hope to find a nice camping to pitch up our tent.
