Onwards and ever upwards, I began to realise why there were the occasional ...
Smoke and mirrors
... which we posted and boarded the plane.
Vigo was dry as we landed in the sunset, and sped into the old town by taxi.
The hotel we had chosen is modern and funky. All black corridors, mirrors and coloured lights in corners. The room itself is lovely apart from the smell left after they have tried to rid it of the smell of smoke...
But all very exciting.... so now to explore!
