Eurostars Plaza Acueducto Hotel Segovia

... ride. It wasn't anything spectacular, just one of many firsts to remember from this trip.




We made our way to the rental car place. Upon arriving at our car, we realized we were going to need a bigger one. They originally gave us a Citroen C2 and it wouldn’t even hold our baggage in the "trunk" area. Plus, it was not going to be comfortable for Conrad to drive. So, we upgraded to a C4 (hoping it wouldn’t explode ...

The city had a lot of good shopping, and seemed to be really geared towards tourists. I bought a flag of Spain to hang in my room. We finished off the day with a few pitchers of Sangria.

Spanish lesson of the day: Do not use the feminine form of "chicken" to refer to chicken. Even if it is a female. Pollo is chicken. Polla is a derogatory name for male genitalia.
Ohhhh the things we learn the hard way......

... is 30 minutes north of Madrid and has a sweet castle and a rather large display of Roman Jenga (an aqueducto).. pretty cool.
Spain is more friendly, smells better and serves primarily desserts. I could spend more time in this country.
Tomorrow we are off to Barcelona for a night and then flying to Ibiza! Everyone cross your fingers that the weather stays mild as our Spanish newsnetwork is telling us we are in for a killer rainstorm ...

... and roasted pig. After eating it, the Mexican son informed us it was baby pig. Kind of sad, but so yummy. For dessert we got a small triangle of ice cream, a yellow cake with a jelly like icing, and a chocolate, almond, and custard thing. They were all pretty good. I really liked this meal.

Then we met at the Cathedral of our Lady of Ascension and San Frutos in the Plaza Mayor. It was very big. It was originally built in 1525, but was later ...

Hi there again. We took off for Segovia ... but only made it as far as Soria on the first day. The speed limits are slower here & it seems to take for ever to get even 100 kms! It was an absolute stinker - reaching at least 41 degrees! But that's what you get when you head inland in the middle of summer! It was much milder on the second day ... only reaching about 37! We got underway, and reached Segovia around noon. What a little hidden away gem ...

... and the Plaza Mayor (of course!). The other main building we saw was the Alcázar, one of the famous castle buildings in Spain. The Alcázar was built over the remains of a Roman fortress. It was home to the Kings of Castilla during the Middle Ages. It has also served as a State Prison. Later it was used for the Royal School of Artillery, during which it suffered from a major fire where black burns can still be seen ...

... war und ich sonst nicht wusste wohin ich sollte, entschied ich mich noch eine Nacht in Madrid zu bleiben. Tagsüber begab ich mich jedoch, bereits zum ersten Mal nach Toledo in meine neue Heimat für die nächten fünf bis sechs Monate. Es ist ja nur 70 Km bzw. eine Stunde per Bus entfernt. Ich deckte mich im Informationsbüro mit Unterlagen ein und machte mich auf dies Suche nach einer vorübergehenden Bleibe, welche als Ausgangspunkt zur festen dienen sollte. Es war dann auch ...

... through another entrance right next to the exit) He waited for me up there for 10 minutes and told me the view there was fantastic and it was so good that I should now skip this train and go back there to have a look! What? Walk another 30 minutes back up and 30 minutes back down ...

... die Groesse des Gelaendes. Iberia hat einen eigenen Terminal, wie ich herausgefunden habe, wo ich auch mein Gepaeck gefunden habe. Als ich dann in dem Terminal ankam, wo der Flug nach Quito gehen sollte, stellte ich fest, dass unser Flug direkt mal eine Stunde spaeter angesetzt war. Beim Check-In war es trotzdem schon drei Stunden vor Abflug tierisch voll. Ecuadorianer reisen scheinbar gerne mit ihrem gesamten Hausstand und ...
