Candido Hotel Segovia

... exited the bus, our eyes gazed up in awe at the sheer length and height of the thing. The aqueduct stood tall above the roofs of all the buildings and extended for a mile to the left around the old city. When standing underneath one of its arches you looked like an ant in comparison. Our cameras could barely capture the true enormity of the structure. On the other side the old city with cobblestone roads and tan stone facades looked like a town ...

... of the full English had long since worn off.<br><br>We wandered back through the quiet streets, which had become devoid of people due to siesta time, looking in shop windows and exploring small alleys heading back down towards the aquaduct and there to further explore the town beyond the city walls. <br><br>We both agreed that we like Segovia - picturesque, historical and unique and had we had more time would have explored further afield - but for now it was back to Madrid.<br>

... didn&#8217;t try to talk her down in price. But, he didn&#8217;t. It was a very clean and comfortable place. We immediately went to find dinner, b/c I was starving!! I was starting to get into my &#8220;I&#8217;ve GOT TO EAT&#8221; mood. We walked into town b/c parking is difficult and we weren&#8217;t about to move the car again. Finally around 915 pm, we settled on this little place which had the cheapest price for the cochinillo that I so ...

... on the edge of the town (which is so small you can walk everywhere) and looked out to the Spanish countryside and we could also see the Alcazar. We went up to the cathedral and looked through this amazing building it is huge and very very ornate and pretty. After cathedral we went down towards the aqueduct and stopped in a bar for a drink and chorizo, we then moved onto the aqueduct and saw this amazing structure and the best thing ...

... the art and structure, but it seemed like every room was different. Lots of weird art (people getting their heads chopped off). Coats of armor and all that. Your typical castle, I guess. We went up 152 STEEP steps to get to the top - great views, but our legs were killing us! Segovia was great; it was wonderful seeing another part of Spain. We don't have the right plug adapters for Switzerland, though, so I'm going to let Chris write about Gimmelwald before the laptop battery runs out!

Endlich Spanien!!! Kaum hatte ich meine Bachelorarbeit letzten Mittwoch abgegeben fuhr ich nach Hause um mit grosser Vorfreude meine sieben Sachen für meine Expedition, ein halbes Jahr Spanien, zu packen. Ich muss sagen, es war schon ein bisschen ein komisches Gefühl, wenn man im Wetterbericht, Madrid 35°, sieht und trotzdem die Winterjacke einpacken muss. Nach einem letzten superfeinen Abschlussessen bei meinen Freunden in der wgzh, hiess es am Freitag (25.08.) sich von Teresa ...

... by a witch museum. At the entrance was a picture of a woman, which I was not sure if it was the picture of a witch or a person that was bewitched... either way the look was definitely no way near to Emma Watson's (aka Hermione Granger of Harry Potter), so I decided to keep the ...

... an arty person but it was brilliant. We saw the Guernica, a very famous painting of his, as well as all the sketches that he did in preparation, it was awesome. Me being me, I also managed to set off the alarm in the museum much to Tonis embarrassment. hehe. We also saw some work by Salvador Dali, again, really cool. We then went back to the park to see ´the crystal palace´, basically a huge green house that looks amazing in the sun. We ...

... that I love. Pete was an excellent guide to Madrid. The first night he took us to his favorite tapas bar, where there was not another American to be seen. Casey and I had the pleasure of eating potatoes, french fries, potatoes covered with mayonaise, oh, and some sausage! I can feel the arteries clogging now. The next day Casey and I explored Madrid. She had visited the Prado the day before and I visited it five years ago so we opted for the ...
