Hotel Guadalupe Granada

... on open wood fires on tables with a metal plate on top for the cooking surface.
I have got quite brae and have stopped at couple without ill effect. It's always an experience struggling for understanding. Wish I'd worked harder at Spanish!
After Sta Dom Tehpec I headed for Juchitan de Zaragoza. At he fuel stop I bought some oil and now need to find somewhere to do the service.
I pulled up outside a ...

... old days…..

We finished these first two days in Granada off with a great dinner tonight. It was in a restaurant on a hill across from Alhambra – a very old Jewish quarter called the Albayzin. One feature of this place is the caves that are even prehistoric (limestone) where people still live today, in fact have title to caves. Some have all the conveniences: plumbing, internet. The ...

... re going out for some tapa’s, would you like to join. Me being me said why not, more food! So we headed out to some tapas bar and then headed back to some Spanish students apartment which reminded me of old Italian homes in Australia with a lot more cigarette smoke. Ok, I then find out that they have tickets for free booze and entry to a night club at the festival. Score! Nice work Dave and so we headed out for another 4am night (we’re at 3 so far out of 4 ...

Well no trip report from MX would be complete with out a discussion on Topes. We North Americans would refer to them as Speed bumps. If you drive in Mexico you will quickly learn not to ignore any sign that looks like or is spelled like tope. I have seen them called Tope, Tope, Topas, and Reductors. All are designed with one thing in mind, to slow traffic or create and accident if you don´t slow. They are made ...

... rain. They were also digging up the gardens it wasn't as grand as it otherwise would have been. The palace itself was amazing though. Very similar to what was in Egypt. It must have taken ages to build and it had very detailed work on it. Alhambra would be amazing to visit in summer when all the fountains are going and the gardens have flowers out. The next day we left Granada and were quite happy to be moving on.

On to Puerto Arista, a relative metropolis, plenty of shops, some of them even open! Out of high season seaside towns tend to only fully open at weekends when the city dwelling Mexican hordes descend. Found a nice little place near a smelly lagoon and not far from the beach, but sadly, as often happens in Mexico, the workers started banging around at 6am - because it´s really hot later, they start work early but with no concern for their sleeping clients.

... around it. Granada's Science Museum ( Parque de las Ciencas) was interesting. It reminded me of the science museum in Christchurch, New Zealand, -just without the life threatening challenges! It was nice to revive some knowledge, and learn new stuff for that matter. I particularly liked the kids section, they had all the fun stuff, and a pretty awesome dinosaur exhibition; there was just way too many kids ...
